A beer mile is a drinking game combining running and speed drinking. In North America, typically, 12 US ounces of beer is consumed from an aluminum can before every lap around a 1/4 mile running track.
A variant of this game named “Kastenlauf” is popular in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. It is a race among teams that consist of two people carrying a crate of beer, all of which must be consumed prior to crossing the finish line.
