Video: This is why you shouldn’t drink a pint upside down

If ever the idea is thrown out of attempting to drink a pint upside down, you should bear in mind this video.

A group of Irish lads went on a sight-seeing trip to Amsterdam and being in high spirits – figuratively speaking of course – they decided to have a bit of craic in one of the bars.

We don’t know whether he volunteered, or whether he was challenged, but Joe Conway decided to try and drink a pint upside down. As you do.

We’ve never tried this near gravity defying game, most of us in JOE struggle badly enough when supping while standing, but we can appreciate that this is a difficult feat.

Joe started coughing and spluttering near the start, so had to abandon the challenge before getting back to his feet. Not that he was on his feet for long as the video shows.

We’re glad to say that Joe made a Lazarus-like recovery after giving himself quite a thump and was able to continue on as normal for the rest of the day, with the subsequent beverages consumed while safely on his feet.

Cheers to Joe, and some of his friends, for sending this our way
