Actually, you can take shots of beer, and it's quite popular. Ever hear of Power Hour? You take 1 shot of beer every minute for 60 minutes. It's the equivalent of 5 beers in an hour, which isn't bad, but for some reason it's difficult, I think because you might inhale a lot of air while taking the shots, and it fills you up mighty quick. Once you complete the Power Hour, if you're up to it, you should always go for the Century Club. 100 minutes of 1 shot per minute of beer.

I suggest trying a Lite beer for your first go around. Easier.
