The 3rd annual Nog Shots Challenge by Down to the Wire is here just in time for the holidays. If you're unfamiliar, the rules are first one to finish their 2L of egg nog gets to hit the other guy in the nuts. Slight rule change this year however, we will drink the first litre with actual shot glasses, thus adding another dimension to the name Nog Shots, with the final litre being a shlug to the finish.

Happy Holidays to all, if you're in a pinch and want to get to the final shlug, skip ahead to 36:06, but we highly recommend you start from start to finish as this is the best Nog Shots event to date.
