I’m a sidewinder. When you and your boys are all crashin the same cooler, you need a way to differentiate who’s beer is who’s if you set it down for nose or lung beers.
I’m definitely drinker number one. I’m not trying to flashy or crazy. Just open the can and slam it down. Ain’t got time to mess with the tab. I got more beer to drink.
rape society do you drink weed better yet do you smoke beers? lol jk. But don’t get me wrong I smoke damn near everyday but they effect you differently, and not everyone has the same likings.
If you turn the tab slightly at an angle, then press firmly with your thumb, it tears and creates a crater at the top. Had a buddy show me that once and I can’t stop doing it now.
You forgot to mention the enlarged hole. When you first crack it you push down on the tab to make the drink hole bigger. It’s for better flow and faster consumption rate. Seen mostly at college frat parties.
The "side winder" tilt was something I started doing back in the days of underage 30 pack parties so I could easily find which beer was mine if I set it down. Still doing it now in my 30's.
Same! I was the last of my friend group to start partying, so the right sidewinder was the only option left and now I still find myself doing it in my 30s, even for soda cans!
The "dent" as you're calling it has long been referred to as the "Texas T" (even in Michigan where I grew up) this is because you dent the can horizontally with your thumb and it resembles a T. The purpose of this is to create a hump on the inside of the can for the beer to flow up and over so it shoots down your throat even faster.
I dent my empty cans, so i can tell which one isn't the dead one, in the carnage next to the sofa, so im not cutting into my beer drinking time, lifting a bunch of empties, to try and find the alive one amongst the tomb stones!
I just flip the tab back and start drinking. You know why? Cause I’m not gonna leave my lattes laying around enough that someone else would mistake it as their own.
I’mana start calling my beer “my latte”. And also now I’ll be calling my latte “beer”. Where’s my beer? That’ll throw off my breakfast date for sure. Unless it’s the same person who had 12 lattes with me last night. Hmmm
I'm a denter, but not at all by your description. I dent it on the side below the mouth hole. Started doing it on energy drink cans when working on commercial fishing boats as a way to know where the mouth hole is without having to actually look at it. Also gives a little grip when your gloves are covered in fish slime. Then one day I realized it's a good way to mark my cans so theres no possibility of getting it mixed up with someone else's. So, I dent for practical reasons.
I'm straight back then I go topless after an empty beer and save the top for the kids foundations. Strangest thing I've ever said yet so accurate 🤦🏽♀️
My dad turns to the right. I go straight back. If theres 3 of us I go left turn. After a bushel or 2 are gone everybody forgets where their beer is. Simple way of doing things. A 4th guy I guess is the chosen psycho... Best just to have a mix of koozies around. Then you can judge..... knowing what you've learned from this.
I have been playing beers for life for so long I literally got a tattoo of the abbreviation (B4L). As a lifelong player you must mark your beer can if you don’t want to pound your beer. I have been ripping the tops off my beers forever because twisting it does NOT count as a mark.
Is that why kids don’t trust us old buggers? Every can of beer was a naked top , they all had pull tabs, and the daring would put the tab in the full can and take his chances on swallowing it! OR the really old guys had to have a church key to open a delicious Hams in a tin can with no tab at all. I really enjoy your channel ! Thank you!
I use a separate method to get the smooth flow. So i open the beer, put the can on a table or something, press down on the top of the tab and apply pressure from left to right. You will then get a hole opening that’s kinda triangular shaped, and is designed to maximize flow. Warning, you can and likely will cut your thumb doing this
Lmao I’ve always removed the whole tab, and even tucked the lip part right up under so I always know which beer is mine, turns out I was just a psychopath. This shatters my world lol
I drank gallons of Rolling Rock in Latrobe. It was 25 cents a pint, fresh and ice cold. Brewed right up the street. I prefer local/micro but the price was right and it is a enjoyable lager. I prefer a IPA or porter, though.
I think the twist to the side means “this is mine don’t drink it” never seen someone stab the top through the side. My old man has a recycling business and when people rip off the top it only makes less aluminum recycled. They fall though the processing equipment and they’re very hard to clean up off the ground.. so please just leave the damn things on. No they’re not worth more than the can.. they’re made from the same damn aluminum.
This one is a little hard to explain but I can’t believe you missed it - bear with me. The people who open the can normally, tab still attached however in a somewhat vertical position, then push hard on the tab away from the body to break into the aluminum top and make a bigger hole are freaking elite. This guy is trying to slug as much beer as possible as quickly as possible (larger hole for larger gulps) and wants to be the most fucked up. Most fun bro at the party or chilling with the guys
I've been doing it for the past three years, ever since one of my friends showed me. I always try to spread the ways of the flow to others, too many folks believe it to be an unnecessary hazard to the thumb, alas they shall lack salvation while us kings gulp down the nectar of the gods from an endless laminar stream. All jokes aside, I'm not exactly shocked that it isn't in the video, as its pretty uncommon. What has greatly surprised me is the complete lack of any direct information about it online. There's no recognized name, nothing on Urban Dictionary about it, no photos, no videos demonstrating the technique, no posts written about it directly, NOTHING. Aside from the ten or so comments on this video, the only other place that I found it mentioned was a reddit thread that started from a 4 panel image giving the instructions to the 'can stab' method. On this thread, debate ensued over the validity of the stab method, and among the 325 comments there were two independent people who brought up this tab-push method as a superior alternative. I've never uploaded a video on youtube, but I'm serious about making one about this, as there's nothing at all covering how to do this.
I know this is late but I have a question ☝️ if you take the beer tab off the can but then do the stab technique are you still a psychopath or does it change to the complex person. Is it like all complex people are psychopaths but not all psychopaths are complex people?
I remove the tab, but twist it to remove the metal that goes around the piece connecting the tab to the can. What does that say about me, in addition to being unstable?
I do the sidewinder but it's because back in the day we called it clocking in and if you got caught not clocked in you had to chug the beer, so it became habit.
On a side note, anyone who is drinking and worries about the position of their beer top; is not a true beer drinker. That shit is gone in like 4mins top
I open it just enough to get beer out. Where if you look down from top it almost looks unopened, i can tell its mine, keeps foreign material out better and gives a satisfying frothy glugging action
Forgot the hole cover guy. Normally seen outdoors, they turn the tab to cover the hole to try and block bugs getting in their beer. It's a pointless exercise because really you should be paying enough attention to your drink to block bugs before they get near
I tear them off and put them in the beer. I don’t know why it’s just the way I’ve always done things and it’s kinda nice not finding those tabs everywhere in the morning.
I used to pull the tab off - not cleanly like you did, but rip it so part of the can itself came along for the ride. Had to stop because 'people' found it 'off-putting'. I wasn't trying to show off or anything, I just hate the nose bump from the tab and wasn't very good at pulling it off because I'm weak like a kitten, but if you hold the can down with one hand and yank hard with the other it comes off like that.
Tab up around here means nobody has drank out of it so you can have some, shared. Usually for gatherings when the kitchen counter is the bar - pour a bourbon and coke, pop open a can of coke keep the tab up and then the next person can use some/rest.
In Europe many countries have deposit system where when you buy you pay extra amount for the can/bottle and then you return it and get that money back (for recycling purposes), so the dent makes me anxious as in my mind I scream "NO, YOU ARE RUINING THE CAN, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE IT BACK" and then I remember this is in America
ladies: "whats your sign?"
dudes: "whats your beer top?"
Lol
True
I’m a sidewinder. When you and your boys are all crashin the same cooler, you need a way to differentiate who’s beer is who’s if you set it down for nose or lung beers.
see thats why i take my tab off but apparently that makes me a psycho
Stubble holder fixes that.
hahaha nose or lung beers hashaha love it
yo is there anyone as retarded as i am. i do the naked top but then i use it as gum and chew on it.
@@unhealthyburrito6589 me
MY WIFE = The Dent.
can you post this 13 years ago.
Forgot the lean it forward and put a straw through the hole in the tab for whoever that person is.
They don’t deserve any recognition
That's for soft drinks only
The nobody. Who the fuck drinks beer with a straw😂

Use it as a spitoon like that
@@christopherfinney2779 my uncle taught me that when I was probably 5 lol
I knew someone who would take the tap off and drop it into the can and after they were done drinking they would shake the can to hear the rattle.
bathed in black i do that🤣
I feel attacked
I know a guy like that. There’s not point lol
I'm actually amazed at how many people do this
sounds dangerous
I pull the tabs off, super accurate description
Keep us away from kids
We are doomed lmao
Yeah I rip the tabs off if I’m not shotgunning beers, I’m a monster and a degenerate.
Same
If I see the tab pulled off it's an ashtray where I come from lol

enlarged hole method is my go to

Amen.

Well, guess I'm the psycho according to this lol 💀🗡
Naked top ftw! Psychopaths unite!
Me too 😂
I shouldn’t be watching these videos while trying to go on a beer break.
1 week. Time for a beer
@@Mikey-ym6ok went on a month break. It was good. Got back into the suds
The dent is functional, wouldn't want to drop my brewski in wet or slippery conditions.
Can't control the weather so you control the can... Typical denter. /s
Strait back and thumb dent to orient the hole for night time drinking...... its scientific
sounds like something someone who dents their cans would say
I dent my empty cans, so i can tell which one isn't the dead one, in the carnage next to the sofa, so im not cutting into my beer drinking time, lifting a bunch of empties, to try and find the alive one amongst the tomb stones!
I’ll dent my beer cans so I know it’s mine if I set it down at a party. Which rarely happens.
The tab stab thing is called a "carburetor" in Montana...
Justin Davis same in Oklahoma
Same in Wi
And same with all the stoners on their bongs....
Also fuel injected
Yup
I call that the drivers dent so you don't have to look where the opening is when you are driving you can just feel it
yup lmao
Cool, drinking while driving are we? Lol
@@melle9155 I’m assuming he meant coke or something
I just flip the tab back and start drinking. You know why? Cause I’m not gonna leave my lattes laying around enough that someone else would mistake it as their own.

A true psychological study and breakdown
The tab is the window to the soul. All is laid bare to whom those are learned in the hidden arts of a cold one.
I only break my tabs off so I know who’s who’s.
You forgot about the bee blocker. Classic dad move.

I'm a Sidewinder I rotate it to 10 o'clock. I started doing it years ago makes it easy to find your beer on a table full of beers.
This guy is awesome. Love these videos.
Straight back. Straight to the point. All about the beer. Thats me
A girl I used to snowboard with taught me how to rip the top of the can off with my teeth.

A bushel? Lol a bushel of beer? How do you gauge a bushel of beer?
@@Hoonmaro Pack of Busch light = a bushel
It's all fun and games until somebody gets it cigarette butt can
Just hold it till it’s gone everytime lol
"The dent" in the hood means u smoke dat crack son. Watch out for the dent with holes
Crack heads and high schoolers lol
And cigarette ash residue. We also smoke trees on cans when we ranout of zigs and the store was closed
My buddy just BARELY cracks the seal and then folds the tab all the way back. idk why but he has done it since the 1st beer lol
I aim my top to the side .. so if you happen to set your beer down you can distinguish which one is yours if there’s other cans around.
My Busch latte tells me I’m a Hoosier and a real American.
Sometimes I'll push the tab down so it rips the top of the can to the edge..
I knew I would find another believer. This is my go to 👌🏻
Ouch. I take the top off my BUD LIGHT
Tyler's farm sim Channel The “BUD LIGHT” part explains everything my guy. lol
I go straight back while drinking, dent the can after, then take the tab off for recycling purposes
I'm confused (mayb cuz I'm from California) but can't you leave the tab on and recycle the whole can?
K the omg that's cold thing is funny as fuck. You bastard 😂😂

@hickorydickory dock it honestly wouldn't suprise me if they did Lmao
Sounds bloody coming out the other end. Could just get super fucked up and throw up the tab later
SC Q50S I’ve done that 😂 i also chew the tab when I’m really fucked up
Haha! About the people who pop the top completely off, I said , “Psychopaths” before you said it and I was right on hahaha
damn that beer looks cold.

I prefer small breweries and more expensive beer, but I do like bush and Budweiser so often, but even with the cheaper brews I’d prefer a glass.

Small dent at the top of rim about where your bottom lips goes. Give it better swirl momentum down the hatch!
You're the real psychopath
It’s all fun and games until you realize how true this is 😂
The straight up tab is to designate which can is the ash tray so you don't accidentally ash in the beer you are actively drinking.
im a mixture of sidewinder and pulling it off, i pull the tab off and rotate the left over little piece 180 degrees so the round part is facing me
Just cracked a Busch latte while watching this. Dude. .Thanx for r the stab technique. New one. Just enjoying Thanksgiving dinner over a buschel.
1:57 I was a kid and kid this with soda you can accruals get the sharp thing off top the ring around the circle can come off as well

Holy shit
Anyone slightly amused when he talks about the control freaks angrily?
Only because I relate so much. 😂
If an old guy rips the tab off he’s probably drank more beers than days you’ve been alive. Real og shit there.
Very curious as to why this man doesn’t have a ton of subscribers
I'm a sidewinder because I don't like to confuse which beer is mine when I am hanging with my buds.
Great material. Here is another one to add. Rotate the tab 180 degrees and push up and back and shoot it at people. It pops off and flies. LOL

I feel more educated by this video
I've been number 5ing it for years. Definitely don't cross train. Just enjoy better flow to my beer. 🍺
How the fuck do you stab it in there like that
I remove the tab, but twist it to remove the metal that goes around the piece connecting the tab to the can. What does that say about me, in addition to being unstable?
i go a step farther with the ripping off the tab, i turn the thing it was on around so its smooth
Ahh another OCD psycho, like me ;)
What about when you push the tab down hard to make the hole bigger?
I mean, I just dent the front of the can where my face hole goes when i get a bit drunk.
I do the sidewinder but it's because back in the day we called it clocking in and if you got caught not clocked in you had to chug the beer, so it became habit.
You get better flow when you take the top off. There is a method to the madness.
The tab up thing is also so u know what beer is yours. It also prevents someone from drinking ur beer bc it will poke their nose.
Full 180 degree rotation. Covers the opening, limits the size of insect that can enter. Must have for Australia.
If you’re in a large group when you bend your beer tab you can find your beer on a large table with a bunch of beer
YUN PEPSY
If you’re setting your beer down you’re wrong
Me: pulls a glass from pocket and pours it.
If you rotate the tab 180 and give it a good lift, it comes off clean with no broken metal bit left over
On a side note, anyone who is drinking and worries about the position of their beer top; is not a true beer drinker. That shit is gone in like 4mins top
I turn it to the side so if I set it down I don’t get it mixed up with others guys
That "thing" you use to punch a hole in the top of a beer can is called a church key.
I pull it off but in such a manner that also removes the sharp semi circle
I'm a sidewinder, to the left. Started it to mark my beer at fiestas.
I open it just enough to get beer out. Where if you look down from top it almost looks unopened, i can tell its mine, keeps foreign material out better and gives a satisfying frothy glugging action
You said "dont be that guy who saves the tab". I just finished my 1st gallon jug full, lol.
