Chugging. Way back in 1969 one of my fellow workers was considered pretty
fast. Might have been world champion. We were living in mass., young punks.
So we were visiting this guy with a couple buddies. We had 12 oz and 16 oz
cans.
I forget what the tops looked like back then. The idea was to open two
holes in top of can on both sides. We had stop watch. 1.5 seconds for 12
oz. 2.5 secs for 16 oz. He claimed he beat long island champ using pitchers
?
