Louisiana Bachelor Party Uses An Alligator To Shotgun A Beer

Louisianans are a different breed. Of course anybody who lives and works near the swamps and encounters alligators on a daily basis is already wired differently than I am. Up here in Nashville the only thing I have to deal with are the occasional deer jumping out in front of me while I'm driving, maybe a raccoon or a skunk in my backyard, and of course the worst animal of all: Bachelorette parties. But Louisiana is home to an estimated 2 million wild alligators, and those swamp puppies can do some serious damage (although they're also delicious, so there's that). One group of guys, who according to the hashtags on the video were out on the swamp for a bachelor party, found another use for them though: Shotgunning a beer. Video posted to TikTok shows the group on a boat out in the swamp when the man who's presumably their guide calls an alligator over to their boat, grabbing the underside of its head so he can position the can in just the right place - which of course is inside the gator's mouth. Yeah, I'm not getting my hands anywhere close to that thing's mouth, but you do you. Right on cue, the gator bites down and pops the can, which the guide hands off to the guest to shotgun. And I'm not gonna lie, it's kind of electric. How many people can they say have shotgunned a beer using an alligator? Of course I shouldn't have to say this but, don't try this at home (if your home is somewhere that gators live). Yeah it's pretty badass, but you know what's not badass? Losing a hand because you were trying to stick a beer can in a gator's mouth. It's also not the first time we've seen wildlife used to pop a beer for shotgunning. Remember these guys who let a snapping turtle do the work for them?
