I don't drink much, and I know most of you don't drink.....muchless drink beer.
But still a good idea!

Be patient with the link, it's the only site that has it up and I guess it's getting a lot of traffic.

hmmm, i do drink beer. but not sure how this one will take...i mean you are definitely without a doubt promoting getting drunk and getting drunk at a faster rate.

while most beer companies are running ads with "please drink responsibly" at the end of the ad to adhere to all of the ultra conservative freaks out there. which there are plenty that will voice their opinion on this one.

oh yeah and im sure M.A.D.D will have something to say too...

I dont see this ever making it to market...but who knows maybe it does.

here is the article cuz the link is a pain in the arrss

Golden, CO – The Coors Brewing Company announced today that they will soon begin offering Coors Light in a new “shotgunnable can” that will feature a second tab on its side to allow for easy shotgunning.

Coors is aiming to rid binge drinkers of the tedious burden of searching for the air pocket in a can of beer before it’s punctured, as well as eliminate the possibility of a punctured beer spraying out all its beer before it can be shotgunned.

With the innovation, Coors is aiming to rid binge drinkers of the tedious burden of searching for the air pocket in a can of beer before it’s punctured, as well as eliminate the possibility of a punctured beer spraying out all its beer before it can be shotgunned.

The can is expected to have a large impact on the canned beer market and is one of the first large-scale attempts to court binge drinkers, who spend hundreds of millions of dollars on cheap beer every year.

“While our current wide-mouth vented can does allow the beer leave the can more quickly and create a smooth, refreshing pour, it doesn’t seem to satisfy the customer that prefers to have the beer shot down his throat.” said Coors Brewing Company CEO Peter Swinburn. “That’s why we’ve created this new can. When used in cooperation with the traditional tab located at the top of the can, the shotgunnable can will completely empty its contents in a matter of seconds.”

When asked by a reporter if the can was magic, Swinburn just chuckled and said, “No, it’s mostly just gravity and pressure change and I can’t even begin to tell you how much it means to me that this happened under my watch here at Coors.”

While Coors had been criticized in the past for cheap gimmicks like having a frost brewed liner and a wide-mouth vented can, reception for the shotgunnable can has been overwhelmingly positive and binge drinkers around the country have been raving at its practicality. Steve Tucker, who is national president of the Omicron Iota Upsilon fraternity noted, “It’s about time a beer company listened to the concerns of its customers and crafted a product specifically intended to resolve any complaints they may have.”

Tucker also preordered 1,500 cases of the Coors Light with shotgunnable cans so that he can distribute them amongst its chapters around the country. After placing the order, he seemed to be fighting back tears as he added, “If there’s canned beer in heaven, it’s definitely served in shotgunnable cans.”

Well they are quoting Peter Swinburn and he is fact the CEO and President of Molson Coors.

I thought that maybe it was a fact too but they can get in serious trouble quoting this guy if in fact he didnt say it.

We've had shot-gunnable cans in Canada for years now.

Molson Canadian Cold Shots used to come with a target on them (the perfect place to shot-gun from).. however, they had to remove it last year, due to increasing complains from M.A.D.D and other organizations like that.

**ninesecz** · 07-09-2009, 01:31 PM

that is i must say one ballsy Idea. Make a can that colleage kids can get stupidly drunk off of and therefore make them drink more beer quicker ......NICE!!

YOu freakin Candians.... Bewen you Hydro Marijuana and your XXX molsen it is quite a wasteland up there! Gets really scary driving from Messana New York up into Totonto and then out! Everything turns from English to French and pretty soon I was the only English speaking Person!

That's pretty odd, because only one provinces main language is French, and that is Quebec...

Generally, people can't speak French up here! lol. The sad truth is that over here on the West-coast it would be WAY more practical to learn Mandarin or Cantonese... due to the sudden.. umm cultural influx

... (I guess you'd call it that

aha).

I guess you could have taken a really odd way up to Toronto.. and passed through some of the rural towns tho?? lol.

And... yes... I agree, our beer is very strong

.. I can't stand American beer!! ahhh... it tastes like water (no offense

)

Ahem. There is absolutely no comparing American cronic to B.C. bud. We're in a whole other league up here bro. You might wanna pick up a copy of High-Times and learn up.
