The keg
push-up, as its
name implies, owes its
origins to the
keg stand. The
drinker plants both
hands firmly on the
rim of the
keg and her
elbows locked so her
arms are
straight, and
several others hold her
feet so she is
parallel to the
ground. With the keg
tap in her
mouth and
active, the drinker
swallows
beer continually whilst executing a previously determined number of push-ups. These particular push-ups tend to be a little more
difficult than most because:
- She is likely already intoxicated.
- So are the people holding her feet; she has no firm ground to plant the fulcrum of the push-up.
- She must keep an active keg tap in her mouth while pushing.
While the drinker is not
vertical as in a normal
keg stands, the added
exertion while
consuming alcohol produces a similarly
elevated level of
intoxication. This
activity is arguably
superior to a
traditional keg stand, since the drinker gets a little
exercise while
polluting her
body with alcohol.
