Put pitcher in fridge for at least an hour to kill carbonation.

Sub 10 seconds doesn't count if you spill

Kill the pitcher

Pro tip, easiest way to lose your ring is to go to the beach, river, or lake with it on. You will have one friend who will do it anyways, and they will lose it within 5 years. Don't be that guy.

Pound beer at Chicken, get hammered, end up on top of the Dry Bean.

Question, when did this ring dunk start? Mine was mailed to my folks house and I put it on after I got home from summer camp at Ft. Sill.

Mine was mailed to my folks house and then they sent to me at Ft. Sill, one year later

I thought the point was to enjoy the beer, not get it done as fast as possible. Power drinking is a marathon, not a sprint. And shouldn't the whole experience be savored and not rushed?

No for a ring dunk. Speed is key.

Disagree. Our ring dunk was at the Chicken in 1988. You got your full pitcher, dunked the ring, and proceeded to use your pitcher as your beer mug. People would see your ring in it, and would never let the pitcher get below half full. You drank for free all evening. Only when you wanted your ring would you pound the pitcher and collect.

Naturally, some of the girls couldn't pond a pitcher, so the honorable thing was too offer to help...

Free beer; make new friends topping you off- I'll allow it. We did it for speed, but I admire your style.

My roommate did it in 12 seconds, then immediately threw it all right back up.

I did it in 50 seconds with cold beer, and kept it all down.

Last year, at the tailgate next to ours about 10 girls "dunked their rings". It was the stupidest damn thing I've ever seen. They all wore trash bags over their clothes, spilled more than they drank, had monogrammed pitchers, and a designated guy to hold the trash can as each put her finger down her throat and made herself puke. DONT DO THIS! Just fill a pitcher w beer, drop your Aggie gold in, pound the beer without spilling it, catch the ring in your teeth, and enjoy the hell outta yourself. Congrats!

Ring Dunk and how out of control fish camp has become are two of new army's most annoying additions to Aggie tradition

This is how it definitely was done in the late 80s. 90s were more about time to drink simply being a high number in the century.

Use a beer you don't like or don't plan to drink ever again.

Students need an excuse to throw a party? We used to just call one another to figure out whose house had the most kegs left.

Keep the pitcher...still have my glass one from the Chicken from 1990!

Warm beer makes it a piece a cake, but do not have six beers before you do it like I did...I got it done, but it was a little more work.

Have fun!

There was a downside. Most folks were kind and asked you what you were drinking, and would then add if they had the same thing.

But you did have a number of jokers who would just walk by and pour, so you ended up with quite a mix of brands/flavors. Usually by that time though, you really didn't care.

Went to a rink dunk where instead of dunking in beer, they lined up 12 shots of tequila with the ring in the last one. Needless to say, they did not make it all the way through

My frat probably had more kegs than yours breh

I did mine in '08 before the A&M Tech game at the tailgate, good advice to let it warm up and go flat, I think I did mine in 45-60 seconds, didn't throw up but don't really remember the full game. I do know we did not win that day, but that '08 Tech team beat everyone. Best of luck!

I dunked mine in a pitcher of flat, room-temp Lonestar Light. 24 seconds.

90 seconds here. Be thirsty and like drinking beer, even if it's shtty.

Smh. Kids.

I don't know man. We did ours in 2004. Got a keg, went to the backporch of NG and lined up 12 of us or so. It was a blast.

Pretty sure I was at 49 seconds. One of our roommates did something stupid like 12 seconds.

17 seconds, no puke.

What in tarnation?

I'm class of '85 and I'd never heard about it until years later….

I have no idea. We didn't do this in '70. I was on leave from basic training in 1970, my dad handed it to me when I got of off the plane at Love Field, Dallas.

It's been many years since I did it at the Chicken, but I keep the tradition alive by doing it at every tailgate.

Gonna be in b/cs on friday when my class of '25 son gets his ring. My class of '22 daughter had a large party with 4 other dunkees, but my son only wants a good meal and no hoopla. I have a class of '27 daughter waiting in the wings who will probably also choose no hoopla.. I didnt even get a meal out of it, same with my wife. I picked up my ring in between classes in 1989, and drank beer with friends the normal way that evening. I had thought at the time dunking was reserved for those folks who wanted to head specifically to the Chicken to celebrate.

Dunk it in a full pitcher served cold, not like those poosay "chuggers" that new army uses.

Around the same time I got my ring, my dad got a new ring...his broke because apparently the seal on the top used to be a separate piece and his broke when he bumped his hand on a counter.

Instead of doing the fast-chugging ring dunk, I went to the Chicken and dunked my ring in a pitcher of Shiner while my dad did the same with his new ring. It was a great memory and I wouldn't have had it any other way! It was fitting that I got to dunk with the man responsible for my love for A&M!

Me too!


OP --- I assume you've had 4-5yrs (including HS) to chug beers. All of your training for this very moment! Don't fluk it up.

Whatever you post will live with you for the rest of your life!!! I'm content with 29seconds, but I know I could've done better. I was 1st to finish at my table back in the day where 8-10 friends did it all together. But knowing I could've done better haunts me.

This moment ... you own it. You betta never let it go.
You only get one shot. Do not miss your chance to blow.
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime!
