Residents of Wisconsin are participating in the 19th anual Beer Belly, a race for charity. Sounds normal enough, right? Until you read instead of replenishing their bodies with water, they are downing beers.
Beer Belly veteran Mike Marin said this is one workout he can really get into.
“This way the wife allows me to have a couple of beers because you’re doing something,” he said. “A little exercise, you kill two birds with one stone.”
I wonder how many beers you can pound while running 2 miles? I personally wouldn’t run or even jog it. I’de walk, take my time and take solace in knowing my drinking is actually helping someone out. One beer every 1/4 mile will definitely work up a nice buzz to cross the finish line with.

Philanthropies are awesome. The best one my frat ever did was this kickball tournament. Get woken up on saturday morning by sorostitutes with cases of beer and donuts, work yourself up to a drunken stupor by noon, kickball until 3 or so… the rest of the day went as well as your game carried you. College was awesome.

Capital idea Simon, that would certainly make the tech calls I take a lot more bearable.
