Night of Alehouse Dares on Twenty Third Street
A New York Tribune report describes a gathering of local alehouse regulars on Twenty third street where a dozen men attempt dares. One man tries to eat five square soda crackers in five minutes without drinking, nearly choking as the fifth cracker is reached. Another challenge sees volunteers try to drink a glass of weiss beer in a single draught, producing comical, gasping results as the beer’s high carbonation forces slow sips.
