Rebuttal to the charges of "butt chugging" on Tennessee's campus

[ghost]

This is worth watching.  It's one of the worst press conferences I've seen and is quite funny.

There was NO "butt chugging" going on in Tennessee.  Um hmmm, right......

[Khaldun]

"What in the world is that?"

Oh, ok, I'm convinced, it never happened.

Not.

You said it--about the most unconvincing performance ever in a long history of unconvincing press conferences. Pretty much defines "don't bother".

[ghost]

I think the thing that bothers me the most about it is that they have to insista that "they aren't gay".  To be honest, the thought never entered my mind.  I'm sure straight drunk frat boys can't do stupid shit involving the anus, it has to be gay drunk stupid frat boys.  I had several gay guys in my fraternity and nobody ever thought about putting booze up someone else's ass.   

[Ingmar]

I would not have shown up to stand around behind that dude if I were in that house, getting my face caught on camera, that's for damn sure.

[Surlyboi]

Isn't "gay" and "frat boy" kinda redundant anyway?

+1

I can't count the times I almost got beat senseless by frattards because we absconded with their women while they were binge drinking and grab-assing each other. It was almost a sport.

It highly depends on the type of fraternity you are in.

Mine was certainly less hazing, more pot, and all our chicks were pretty much regular girlfriends. I was treasurer, of course.

My experience as well... but pot and coke. I was secretary.

[ghost]

My school was very small (~1000 people) and about 75% were in a fraternity or sorority.  My experience was pretty similar to what Paelos is describing. 

I'm still not convinced that this video isn't from the Onion. 

[Sky]

My experience is all of the colleges in upstate NY 

[ghost]

Is there a big fraternity footprint there?  I assumed it was more of a southern thing.

Colleges were for Soc's only right? Greasers weren't allowed. So that makes sense.

Yes but Alcohol Enemas and alocohol-soaked tampons weren't "a thing" when we were kids.  They are now, and not just as something thought-up and posted on the internet; there's verified cases.  The idiots are actually doing it because it gets you drunk faster.  OTOH you can also wind-up dead/ poisoned a lot easier so we can hope.

My point was that idiotic shenanigans like this don't necessarily make you gay. 

[HaemishM]

I never really needed a faster way to get drunk. Shit, just don't fucking eat before you start swilling beer, that works. If you are to the point where you need a faster delivery mechanism for getting shit-faced, you likely need to get your fucking head checked, not your ass hose-piped.

[Furiously]

Or give blood.

[CmdrSlack]

Or give blood.

Hells yes. Selling plasma, then using the cash to buy a 6 pack was the way to go back in the day.

[01101010]

Or stop fucking acting like you are in high school and start drinking real alcohol. 

I have heard of people doing this activity with drugs as well... never understood it myself.

[Paelos]

We used to do keg-stands, beer pong, shot nights, beer bongs, box party, and hunch punch contests.

Now the kids love to play flip-cup, which was new as I was leaving. Putting liquor in your ass was never on the list of approved activities.

There is a medical reason for rectal drug administration, i.e. suppositories.  There is typically good absorption into the blood stream.  I'm with Haemish though.  I've never had a reason to get drunk quicker.  Of course now if I have 2 glasses of wine I'm shitfaced.

Sorry, I should have qualified that better: "illicit drugs"

And the idea obviously spawned from suppositories and moved to the dark place of alcohol enemas.

Hmm maybe this is a more accurate way to control how shitfaced you are though, hold that alcohol in until you feel the right amount of buzz then release.  Also I imagine this might foil a breathalyzer or is alcohol absorbed anally still going to be carried through the blood stream and exhaled out the lungs in the same quantity?

Stevie Nicks?

Should be, yeah.

[Furiously]

Kinda gives a new meaning to beer shits.

[Abagadro]

Like it is somehow difficult to get drunk quickly? I drank myself into the hospital my freshman year in 45 minutes.

This has more to do with frat-boy stupidity than alcohol intake.

[Hawkbit]

I've made a whole series of many bad choices in my life.  However, I'm certain that if my friends decided one night that it would be cool to put things in our butts it would have raised a pretty big mental red flag.  And yeah, my 21st birthday was roughly 45 minutes long.  So it's really not about getting drunk fast.

[Merusk]

All I know is what I've heard over the last 2 years or so of these alcohol-to-butt stores showing up in the 'weird news.'  It's not a new thing.

I suspect it started with High School kids. Yes, it makes no sense for college kids with easy access to alcohol to do it, but HS was a different matter.

[NowhereMan]

I'd heard about this back when I was doing A-levels, so about 9 or 10 years ago? Of course that time it was an alcoholic that suffered from throat cancer and it was a sherry enema administered by his wife that had resulted in death from alcohol poisoning. I think it may have even been a Darwin award, though it sounds like someone on the internet started repeating the more hilarious aspect of it. It sounds more like a hazing thing than trying to get drunk quicker, just because getting drunk is not hard.

[Strazos]

Oh my god, all the dumb kids with terrible button-down collars...

[Ginaz]

Shit like this just confirms my choice not to drink anymore.  Not that I was a raging alcoholic or anything, just a choice I made.  At the very least, I won't have to worry about whether or not I got so fucked up I drank beer from another man's ass or stuck an alcohol soaked tampon up my ass.

[Malakili]

Is this video seriously real?  These guys on the left look they should be protecting Obama or something, combine it with the term butt-chugging and the whole thing is  kind of surreal.

That happened in my home town.  Go Lake Jackson!

It really does look like it is from the Onion. 

[Tannhauser]

You have no right to judge our culture here in east TN.  If we want to butt chugg beer and hang elephants by god we'll do it!
