As if shot-gunning a beer wasn’t manly enough, some people (i.e. men in Florida) feel the need to go a little further when it comes to popping and chugging the adult beverage.

Last week a few guys on a boat managed to draw an alligator’s attention to help open a beer. The man slapped his hand on the water, held the bottom of the gator’s jaw, and used a tooth as one of nature’s best can openers. Another man proceeded to quickly shotgun the beer and celebrate with the others. 

Obviously this is something you shouldn’t try at home, or at your local gator-infested lake, but when you are “parched” and have limited options, you gotta do what you gotta do.
