You have to wonder how one would think its a good idea to pour a burning liquid down your throat? Am I that square? Don't answer that please :)

OMG, Ace... A guy I just meet was telling me how he forgot to put out the flame shot before he drank it. When the flames were finally put out and he went in the bathroom he said he was tore up. He was actually bleeding in spots on his face. Thanks for this... I'm sending him a link! It'll bring back some nice memories!

Some dumbass freshman did that in college my senior year. Moron walked around looking like the mummy for a couple of months.

BTW Ace, It's a sunny, slightly breezy 78 where I'm at. But, then again, it usually is. I've "visited" NY. I have family there. As far as NY goes, I say, "hmpfh..(insert shoulder shrug), who cares?"

Hmmm...

Back in college, one of my favorite drinks at a club where I used to hang out was the Dante's Inferno (sort of an extremely spicy Bloody Mary en fuego). I drank dozens of the things, and nothing like that ever happened.

Of course... Maybe I'm just a total wuss, but before you drink the shot, aren't you supposed to put out the fire? Pouring flaming alcohol into your stomach makes lighting your own farts loook like rocket science. (No pun intended. Not much of one, anyway.)

Yeah, pretty old. Classic, though.

Here's a better one. An actual streaming video, not a GIF. With sound. http://www.collegeslackers.com/?pg=vid-flamingshot

Reminds me of the time I was having a Flaming Dr. Pepper and the bartender stupidly let me drop my own flaming shot into the beer. To this day I clearly remember him deadpanning, "Dude, your finger's on fire."

The other lesson from that evening? Even if you blow the flaming shot out before downing it, if you've let it sit, flaming, for long enough, the very hot shot glass will burn your lips and you'll have a bitch of a time explaining those blisters to your coworkers/loved ones.

Ah, to be young and foolish. Then again, it's, not so different from being old and foolish now.

It's 73 and sunny here in beautiful Bangor, Maine.

Perfect weather to wear my Ace O' Spades t-shirt.

If it had gotten here, that is...

Grrrr...

I don't know what's wrong with the rest of you but back in the day (20+ years ago) I had no difficulty drinking a still-flaming shot glass of Bacardi 151 without doing harm to my insides or outsides. The point where everyone screws up is the initial sipping motion. You simply drink it like a shot that isn't flaming and the flaming layer is extinguished by the rest of the shot. Yes, it still has flammables in it, but if you just pour it down there's not enough additional oxygen to support combustion.

The people that get the shot 6 inches from their face and try to throw it into their mouths (like the linked idiot) are the people that really get hurt. I've wasted more than one beer dousing those sorts of flames.

Hey Captain Ned,

Do you have a webcam? Can you show us all how it's done?

Sorry Ace, I was otherwise occupied all weekend long, so I didn't get a chance to see this until now.

Oh, wait-- let me say that I didn't get to see YOUR POST until now.

The video?

OLD.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

Girlfriend problems? This could work...

In 1986 I was sitting in a bar on Patpong Rd in Bangkok and watched a tourist do the same thing. He was showing off for the bar girls and set his face on fire. The bartender extinguished him with a towel.

I wan't sure what was dumber, drinking flamine booze, or trying to impress a Bangkok bar girl.

That is awesome!
