I reckon there needs to be some handicappin on team USA, there was some serious beer bellies on that team, that factor has to be calculated in, Ive got an idea, after you down the brew you gotta put the cup on your head, stand up then run the full length of the Tuscon runway and back, then sit and the next can start. Add fitness to the race. The bellies jiggling up and down the runway would be more entertaining than any freestyle...

Imagine downing a coors full tilt, then running 2 lengths of the runway. Holding that load of beer in would be hard for all..

After further veiwing of the vid, I reckon the world team won. Fred Johnson said the indiscretions on both sides evened things out. Therefore the team who put down their last cup first should be the winner.

Maybe we should run a poll on this.
