When I am told that people used to be smarter than this, I just say that they weren’t. They were just as stupid but in private because we lacked the ability to show the world our stupidity instantly.
it sounded like his friends were punking him by telling him to just drink it, drink it fast, when you're definitely supposed to blow the flames out first. You can see at the end that Blondie totally knows this, as he easily and quickly blows out the still flaming drink on the table. They're just being dicks to their friend for shits n giggles
I trained as a bartender several years ago. We learned about setting drinks on fire and the rule was you put it out before you give it to the customer. Because people are idiots.
Or better yet just don't set alcohol on fire. Just take a fucking shot. You won't get third degree burns on your face if you just have a fucking normal shot.
Well, it does change the taste, so there is a point. But please, put it out first. I've usually seen it done by smothering the fire with a (non flammable) coaster.

I was having drunk basement parties before youtube existed. We had a dude who loved doing flaming shots.
Let us say i am glad we were drinking in the basement because it had a concrete floor that did not set on fire.
The drink should have been wearing that stone island
Idk what possesses anyone to set their alcoholic drink on fire. They’re lucky the table wasn’t flammable.
There are drinks that are supposed to be served on fire. You're supposed to put them out or let them burn out before attempting to drink it.
That’s what I thought. I wondered whether drinking them while the flames are active is some kind of stupid clout thing, too.
I think it's mostly a stupid drunk thing. Then again, some people do really stupid things for clout.
This sub was practically made for videos of people doing dumb shit for clout lol

He could’ve seriously burned himself too. That’s so messed up.
Yep, you're supposed to blow them out first

That’s smart because yeah people are idiots.
They brought the shot flaming to my sister that one time, but that was last century and she had the sense to blow it out before partaking.
(And she couldn't stand the taste, but it was her shot they gave her for her birthday and she was going to drink it all, dammit!)
Yeah, you're supposed to chug that hoe, not take it for a leisurely promenade.
There are far too many videos of idiots doing this same thing with the same results.
I have been pondering for the past 3 minutes trying to figure out what did he think would happen lol.
I mean seriously. Like what other outcome was there?
I hope I'm never in this situation, but what's the best thing to do here? Close your mouth and not swallow?
I’m guessing don’t drink alcohol that is on fire might be the best course of action
You should blow out the flame with a burst of breath (like a super version of blowing out birthday candles), then drink. DO NOT DRINK FLAMING ALCOHOL.
Dude never had a flaming moe and you can tell
Maybe too young to have seen the Simpsons?
Drunk people and fire are a bad combination. In other news, water continues to be damp, moist, and even wet; Scientists baffled.
... Yeah, you're supposed to blow it out first.

Lol
Meh, not Darwin award material.
Maybe if they soak themselves in alcohol and then put themselves on fire...
Arent you supposed to blow out the fire before drinking it is that not common knowledge
