One of my students introduced me to the Milk Chug game. No. I didn't play. I just watched a video he'd made of this very odd milk contest game.
The way the milk chug game works is that the participants try to drink a gallon of milk as quickly as possible. Generally the rules require the milk to go down in under an hour.
Milk chuggers end up vomiting with such large amounts of milk and sucked down so fast.
I'm not really sure why this drinking game is popular. It does not make much sense to me. But high school and college kids seem to be enjoying the Milk Chug antics.
In fact, one school class in Texas held a milk chug as part of a science class lab. After the videos were posted on YouTube, an angry parent contacted the school. The teacher was suspended.
I'm not sure what point the teacher was trying to make - if any. I'm not sure about the claims that she endangered the students though. None needed medical attention. And, I've not heard of any ill effects from this strange milk chugging game. My student was fine, and the rest of the students in class thought his milk chugging was funny. Dangerous? I don't know about that. Seems pretty silly - but harmless. I'll check around and see if it does present a health threat.
If you want to see the Milk Game, here's a YouTube Milk Chug video. Please note that it contains one profane word. The vomiting is also pretty stomach turning. You can also search "Milk Chug" at YouTube and find many more examples.
