Flamming lips

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

My nephew was having one of his frequent barbecues. His guest were drinking and one of his guest decided he wanted to drink a flaming alcoholic beverage. One of the more experienced drinkers there made him such a beverage and assumed he knew how to drink it. Wrong, the party goer assumed he was suppose to drink the flaming drink with the drink still on fire and attempted to drink the flaming alcoholic beverage in this way instead of blowing it out before downing it as he was suppose to. Luckily it did not make it down his throat but instead caught his lips and the surrounding area of his face on fire. The people around him quickly helped him put his face out. He came away with a painfully burned face and lips but was otherwise ok.

For verification Nephew [personally identifying information deleted]

Im not sure but I think Mr. Flaming lips is his brother-in-law.

I think we've ALL done "flaming shots" at one time or other, and it never ceases to amaze me just how many people don't know how! Yet we do not often hear of such things! Thanks for sharing, Lloyd!

Thanks for a great PA. In the future please don't provide any personal information like names, addresses, or phone numbers. It delays our ability to moderate the submission since we have to wait for an admin to delete that information.
