You might know The Preakness at Pimlico as the second leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown. From this video below -- and the collected dozens of videos you’ll find on YouTube if you search “Preakness drunk” -- I’d argue that this is where our brightest minds go to meet and share ideas. Observe these folks attempting to snap a metal table as if it’s made of wood.

Naturally, The Preakness Needs More Drunks

↵From these great minds, we also get the brilliance of things like the urinal run. In any event, these people are clearly too inhibited and sober-minded when they go to watch the horses run, so there will be cheaper beer available this year.↵
↵⇥ This year, infield admission has dropped by $10, to $40. And revelers can drink unlimited beer if they buy a 16-ounce mug for $20.↵
↵↵Now, this might actually be a crafty way to control drinking. Hopefully they wouldn’t overserve people and if a lot of people adopted this way of drinking, there would likely be incredibly long lines as a result. It’s a social experiment that will play out this weekend on May 15. And yes, I’ll be keeping my eyes on YouTube for repeats of brilliance from years gone by. Maybe they’ll even come up with a new way to wow us.↵
