to pass out for 5-10 seconds after severely downing a reasonably cold pint?

Depends how many you've had before.

[feeble!]

Hmmm, about 4 or 5 pints were had beforehand.

Lightweight.

I don't believe it was drink that made me pass out for 5 or 10 seconds, I think it was just because it was pretty cold.

I had the same experience with a slush puppy a while ago. Down the hatch it went, next thing I knew I was waking up on the floor looking quite bewildered.

Could have been a brain freeze.

Back in my younger days we used to shotgun can after can of lager (ie. cut a hole at the bottom, hold it to your mouth then open the ring pull, thus forcing the whole lot down your gob in about 3 seconds)....I don't remember passing out, but I do remember beng very gassy...

Hahaha, that sounds like a plan for the future. How big does the hole have to be ideally?

It was a race! I almost won aswell... Bah, the other guy had half a pint left when I started and I was only one gulp behind him when we finished, so I felt reasonably proud. Not too proud when I realised I'd passed out.

And keilan - brain freeze does indeed seem to be the culprit here! Next time I go out I'll be sure to wear a hat

or simple pop the pint in the microwave for 10 secs, to get it at "optimum body temp"...
something like that.
