Can piercing

When piercing the beer can

Shotgunning (also canned shooting , Cossacks pump , turbo beer , piercing Half or woodcutter , American and shotgun ) is a method by which a beverage can be drunk very quickly. For this purpose, the can is provided with an additional opening ("pierced") so that when drinking from one of the two openings, the air through the other opening abovethe liquid level can flow into the can. In this way it is prevented that a negative pressure is formed above the liquid level. Otherwise the air would have to flow in through the drinking opening and rise through the liquid in the form of bubbles.

The can piercing can serve as a drinking game , with drinking for a while. The additional opening is often made with knives, screwdrivers, keys or similar improvised tools.

With a 0.33 l can with a height of 115 mm, the liquid level is about 90 mm above the outlet opening. According to Torricelli, this results in an initial outflow velocity of 1.3 m / s. The volume of beer escaping per second results from the multiplication of the outflow speed by the area of the opening, corrected with the empirical factor 0.63 for thin-walled vessels.

The College film The Sure Thing ( The Sure Thing ) 1985 includes a scene in which John Cusack a can of beer empties in this way, the slang term "shotgun" for the ritual is the American proved since 1,983th In 2012, the American Miller brewery launched a beer can called “Punch Top Can” that was specially prepared for easy can piercing.
