I can't believe that I never thought of this. Holy shit, that would be the most entertaining race you could ever see on a track.
Does anyone know of a track somewhere that leaves the water pit open and barriers laying around, with little to no security?

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how T & F entered the 21st century!
Yes, let's all get behind the dumbing down of our sport. Why not make the participants wear jester costumes and juggle as well? As long as Joe Neckbeard is entertained.
The alcohol from beer takes about 15 minutes to enter the bloodstream, so don't get too excited about the idea of seeing drunk people navigate a steeplechase.
Maybe a completely different event could be: take 6 shots, wait 15 minutes, race a 400m IH.
If it takes 15 minutes for the alcohol to take effect, I don't see the point of a beer mile as opposed to a soda mile. And why the rules specify that the beer must be at least 5 percent alcohol by volume seems irrelevant as well.
