Science

In the ER world, gravity + beer is a very bad thing. It inevitably starts with the famous "here, hold my beer" statement and is quickly followed by a brutal demolition of both ego and intact anatomy. I'm pretty sure Newton even started formulating his equations after witnessing some drunk guy holding an apple while on a horse go, "Hey guys! Watch this!"

These unfortunate people are most always surrounded by a group of people who either gasp in horror or point fingers and laugh. Sometimes, the act of Spectacular Fail is even recorded on video for posterity. Which helps me out in the ER, when my patient comes in with a broken arm and has a perfect rebuttal for the question of "Oh my God! HOW did you DO that?!"

Fortunately, there is no shortage of beer in this world and no shortage of stupid people willing to hand over said beer to try something dumb.

Take, for example, this girl:

Close analysis of the picture reveals a few things: a hill in the background, a bike, a bike wheel at an odd angle against a piling, and a bike rider with a face accelerating towards the dock at 9.8m/s^2. Fortunately, she's wearing an alcohol helmet and flip flops. Because safety first, you guys.

I can only imagine the shame that was felt by this girl after this accident. Wait. I don't have to imagine it...

Because I'm that girl.

Science. Helping drunk people make a fool of themselves since the Neolithic Era.
