Shotgunning
Shotgunning is a means of consuming a beverage, especially beer, very quickly by punching a hole in the side of the can, near the bottom, placing the mouth over the hole, and pulling the tab to open the top. The beverage quickly drains, and is quickly consumed.Shotgunning is normally done as a competition. The participants wait until all the others are ready until the countdown begins. Once the countdown is finished, the participants get under way and the first one to finish consuming the beverage is the winner.

Shotgunning
Shotgunning is a means of consuming a beverage, particularly beer, very quickly by punching a hole in the side of the can or cup. A related technique, strawpedoing or snorkeling, is used for containers not easily punctured such as a glass bottle. A straw is inserted into the bottle to similar effect. The technique works since a literal bottleneck is created where air entering the container to release pressure must travel through the same orifice as liquid leaving. The extra holes allows air to enter simultaneously as liquid leaves the main hole.
