What is the Beer Mile?
In the vast world of extreme sports, there exists a sub-culture called "digestive athletics." The most famous, glorified, respected and celebrated of all the events of this underworld is the Beer Mile.
Running and drinking enthusiasts alike come together in this profound event to test their fitness and gastric limits in a race to consume four beers and run four laps around a track.
The result is a breathtaking display of speed, skill, and, of course, the ability to hold one's drink. What started as an underground event has transformed into a wildly-competitive, international phenomenon.
