Keg stand

A properly executed keg stand in Raleigh, North Carolina in 2012.

A keg stand is a drinking activity where the participant does a handstand on a keg of beer and attempts to drink as much as possible at once or to drink for as long as possible. Other people will help hold up the drinker's legs, and will hold the keg tap in the stander's mouth, as they will have both hands occupied with the handstand.[1][2][3][4]

Origin

The origin of the keg stand is unclear, but it is a staple in American college culture, especially in fraternities and jamborees. They are frequently featured in popular media within fraternity or sorority events.

Potential Hazards

Naturally, keg stands exhibit the same risks as performing a regular handstand, which may increase in level of harm due to the alcoholic side effects of the beer itself.

Drinking a large amount of beer, especially during a single sitting may cause alcohol poisoning or overdose. Side effects include dizziness, nausea, increased blood alcohol concentration, and potentially permanent damage to the brain, liver, and other organs.[5]

In September of 2002, Seth Korona, a student at Indiana University, was killed after hitting his head while performing a keg stand.[6] His friends, believing he was hungover, ignored him until he was transported to the hospital and died shortly after.
