Beer-Bike

Beer-Bike, a Rice tradition since 1957, is a combination intramural bicycle race and drinking contest. Each leg of the race is a sort of relay in which a team's "chugger" must chug 24 ounces of water for the men's division, 12 ounces of water for women, and water or beer for alums before the team's "rider" may begin to ride. Elaborate rules include details such as a prohibition of "bulky or wet clothing articles designed to absorb beer/water or prevent spilled beer/water from being seen."
