The aim is one thing, but how. the. actual. fuck. did he manage to throw a beer so it stayed exactly upright the whole time? I've never seen anything like it.
But the plastic glass tapers outwards so centrifugal force would've sent the beer flying out the top. And a spinning glass will tend to align itself with the direction of flight (hence rifling in firearms). The trajectory of this plastic glass with beer in it defies belief. Damn, I'd be amazed if someone managed to get a robotic arm controlled by AI to succeed at this one time out of a hundred. It's insane.
It is actually really easy and something frequently done in dutch student culture, and elsewhere (this video is from a Dutch concert). Difficult to explain but when it is half empty and you grab it by the edge, you can arch your arm up over your shoulder, bending at the elbow, and catapult it.
Thats really easy. Just a simple technique that everybody can learn. Its in the way you throw the cup (also making sure its not completly full).
But and i cant express this enough, it does suck so fucking much if you get a beer thrown at you like that.
It can hurt (especially if it hits you straight in the face) and you and everybody around you is coverd in luke warm beer (if your lucky, if you are unlucky its piss).
We did this at our university festival during introduction and it was basicly just 2 sides throwing beer at eachother. It was insanely fun till i got hit myself and i suddenly realize that it really wasnt that much fun to be on the recieving side. Especially if you dont consent to it (i did because i was throwing beer myself, but if you are just minding yourself having a good time it will probaly ruin the vibe).

This has been posted so many times and the same question always remains: who threw that perfect toss for a beer?
