Beer bong

A Beer Bong, Beer slide, Bierstürzer, funnel or accelerators, rarely Saufmaschine, is a device which is used to drinking large quantities of beer in a short time, especially at drinking.

Design and operation

The device consists of a long tube, at the end of a funnel is mounted. To avoid the premature discharge of the beverage during the filling, the lower end may be provided with a ball valve. By raising the hopper, in which the beverage is located a pressure in the liquid column is established, which allows the rapid consumption of the beverage upon opening of the valve.

Beer foam

The consumption of beer must be taken to ensure that as little as possible is drunk beer foam, as this can very quickly lead to vomiting. The beer is then slowly filled for this reason, at an obtuse angle to the funnel. After a short delay, the tube is lowered so far that the foam that has not yet set itself runs out of the hose.

The "Elephant "

The remaining beer foam in the tube is removed immediately after the consumption of beer by blowing through the tube, so that the remaining foam through the hopper flies upwards. On special occasions, the wind can swing his lips like a trumpet mouthpiece. This produces a characteristic sound that is similar to the call of the elephant. In this practice, however, regardless of the environment may need to be taken, as well as external persons may be taken of beer foam. In this case, it all depends on the situation. What at festivals, carnivals and parties for good form, can the public lead to conflict.

Dissemination

Bierbongs serve to consume a larger quantity of beer and thus amount of alcohol in a short time. Their use has the character of dangerous drinking games - especially if the participants are encouraged by peer pressure to join in and often underestimate the amount of alcohol consumption. It can also by the large amounts of fluid that are consumed in a short time, come to damage the swallowing muscles and stomach. The excessive binge drinking with such devices, particularly for children and adolescents is classified as an aberration and danger, which is politically opposed.

Bierbongs are also known in the context of reporting on the Spring Break rituals American students.
