Two of my kids and two friends are doing a beer mile on the road outside my house and my wife is cheering them on.

What's a beer mile?

A mile on a typical track is four laps, right?
Drink beer, run lap.
Drink beer, run lap.

You've done a beer mile
Even at a walking pace, that's a beer every ~15 minutes.

That's adult softball rules:
Get to first, drink a beer.
Get to second, drink a beer.
Get to third, drink a beer.
Go home, drink a beer.
Yes its a beer every 400 meters. They are training for an actual championship. I should have gone to university.

A local restaurant used to have a "eat this entire 72 ounce steak and all the fixings and it is free"deal. One household of upper year students I knew went into "training" for this for months before they attempted their assault on "Meat Fest". There seemed to be a negative correlation between their success with "Meat Fest" and their academic achievement. I suspect a beer mile might show similar results.
Hey, I was in a 1-handed sports league in college. One game each of soccer, tennis, volleyball, basketball and touch football...all with a beer in one hand.

The world record for the beer mile is apparently 4 minutes and 28 seconds which is insane.
Since when has parenting ever been on the rails?
Seems like a good way to ruin a night of drinking.
Although I'm not one to talk, there was a 6 or so month period around 20-21 where we'd shut the bar down then go lift weights.

I played a few games of soccer where in order to score you had to have a full beer cup but to refill the cup had to be empty.

It would take a lot more than 2 minutes if I played "softball" like that.
1) I'm a brewer by trade
2) I like to exercise.
I organized an unofficial Beer mile at my gym, with a $50 taproom gift card to the winning time back in May. One of the guys, an ex-collegiate distance runner and now avid- beer drinker, finished in 7:30 to win. I finished an impressive 8:59, and promptly didn't eat or drink anyhting the rest of the day.
Edit- For those detail oriented, we used Pabst Blue Ribbon, 12oz, and you had a choice of drinking from the can or a solo cup. and it was a 400m track circuit.
The running is the easy part- it's the gas and chugging skill that sets the pro's from the Joe's... haha.
I'm curious. Is the chugging done while running, or during a pause?
Not sure how this is parenting off the rails unless the kids are not of legal drinking age.

It's in between laps, at a table. you cant take off for the next running leg until the 12oz are finished. So it's 400m/chug/400m/chug/400m/chug/400m/chug, and that's your finish time.

Should I mention that second son and second place is 17? The other three are 19. And you have to finish the beer before continuing, although running while drinking would be slow and difficult I think.
