A Decent Community Mexican Standoff, otherwise known simply as, “a Standoff”, is when a bunch of buddies congregate in a circle, or face off (stand off) one-on-one in a conquest to guzzle a full beer quicker than your opponent.
Specifically, beer is poured and shirts are promptly removed. When the head of the beer settles, glasses are placed on the ground, and The Standoff process begins. You look your opponent dead in the eye while slowly squatting down, hovering over the calm before the storm that is the awaiting beer. You throw a fake grab — hup, shout some obscenities — urhghghghg, or give a little wink — you’re mine, suddenly someone grabs their beer and begins to slug — bastard! All opponents at that point grab their beers and begin to slug in attempt to out slug all their opponents, and most notably the conquistador who hastily grabbed their bronson first, and slam their glass back to the floor.
You learn a lot about your friends when you stare them in the eye, shirtless, with nothing but a glass of beer standing in between you and glory.
If you think you are too civilized and simply don’t, or won’t, participate in this culture crossing battle, remember this: It’s not called a Mexi-cant Standoff it’s called a Mexican Standoff, so pull up your bootstraps, have your favorite bartender poor you a glass full of bronson, take of your shirt and take to the floor, for some bronson drinking fun!
