I heard about boofing from.the Darwin Awards before, but that was for vodka and the guy did it died because of alcohol poisoning to earn it. This one seems to raised the bar and lived to tell the tale of acid boofing. Which makes me wonder how many interesting people we share this beautiful world...

In 1993 I went to a apprenticeship school for the union I belonged to. The very first class was alcohol and drug awareness taught by a eighty something ex alcoholic who told us about butt chugging. It was basically how to get drunk and hide it from others 101. I know of a few people who have tried it. I guess they just wanted something up their ass.
