A comment today about real men drinking Steel Reserve reminded me of a drinking challenge that we came up with in college. The Steel Challenge. The Steel Challenge is pretty simple, three Steel Reserve 40 ouncers in 3 hours without puking. I can’t remember how many people actually attempted the Steel Challenge but I know only one man, the infamous Berg, made it close.
I can’t remember the exact details but he finished his first two within the first 60 to 90 minutes. He was closing in on the three hour mark and he had nursed number 3 down to about the bottom of the label when his stomach gave up on the challenge. We all thought he was going to kick the shit out of the challenge. After he finished the first two so quickly we actually questioned if the challenge was hard enough. Everyone was disappointed about the failure and there was much talk about a rematch but it never happened. So if you are bored this weekend and are looking to catch a buzz you just might want to try conquering the Steel Challenge.
