Woman "Drinks" Pint Of Beer Through Her Ear; Bizarre Stunt Has Gone Viral

In a bizarre video that's sweeping the web, a girl at a Czech beer festival impresses her friends by "drinking" a pint of beer -- through her ear. In the video, the ear beer drinker places the end of a bendy straw into her ear. Then, with visible discomfort, she appears to suck it up in under two minutes as her friends cheer her on.

However, But not everyone is convinced. Skeptics have pointed out that the cup could have been switched for a trick cup, or a tube could be hidden in her friend's sleeve. Many wonder if the stunt is even feasible.

"In theory, as the ears' Eustachian tubes connects them to the throat, it could be possible to consume liquid into the stomach through the ear," said an expert to the Daily Mail, "But the Eustachian tube is incredibly narrow which makes it highly unlikely that an entire pint of liquid could get down it." To guzzle this much beer through the ear would require a hole in the eardrum, or no eardrum at all. The expert adds: "trying this stunt at home is not advisable."

Last September, Czech Republic residents faced a temporary ban on liquor sales throughout the country. The ruling came down following a wave of methanol poisonings that killed 19 people over several months, with dozens of others hospitalized. Bars and other places that sell liquor were only allowed to stock beer and wine for several weeks.

The ban originally was limited to spirits with more than 30% alcohol by volume, but the full prohibition was instated after cops determined that an "absolute majority" of the poisonings came from spirits purchased in restaurants, bars and stores. It's estimated that roughly 20 percent of the liquor sold in traditional outlets in the Czech Republic is produced on the black market. Thousands of liters of the illegal intoxicant were seized and 20 people have been arrested thus far for making it.
