How (Not) To Do A Jager Bomb
Tips from a rookie
You wouldn’t think anyone would need to be taught how to do a shot. I mean it’s a pretty straightforward process. You shoot, you swallow, you suppress the gag reflex.
Simple right?
For those of us who missed our college experience (due to having an athletic scholarship and all that junk), I thought I’d share these tips. At social gatherings, the first tip would be to not question uncle John’s sanity when he hands you the beverage. The cup of Redbull with a shot glass in the middle containing a different liquid is completely normal.
Again, I realize I’m preaching to the choir here. But here are some tips to help the medicine go down and avoid a potential disaster that burns (we’ll get to that in a moment).
Rule 2: If everyone else shoots, follow suit. (See first paragraph for tip 1)
There is no “you do you and I’ll do me” when doing shots. If you don’t suck down the nectar faster than you can breathe, you are on the radar. Bystanders assume you need a bit of help. 10 times out of 10, this help will come in the form of a chant. People will begin to watch you as you drink. Who wants that?
Don’t forget, all help has to have backup. The hand of a friend or parent will come to your arm, forcing you to knock the drink back. No…
