Someone made that comment today which got me to remembering the craziest moment that started with "Hold My Beer".

High school party, probably about 70 people there (which is huge for my town of 250) most of them I knew, some I didn't. I had grown up with the host and he was always a bit unstable and we'd had our moments of being friends and not being friends. Anyway, someone the host didn't like crashed the party and wouldn't leave. I didn't see the events leading up to anything that came next, but the host is standing next to me talking for a few minutes and then says, 'hold my beer' and hands me his beer. Next thing I know he walks up behind the guy and taps him on the shoulder. The guy turns around and the host bashes him full on in the face with a baseball bat. The guy just instantly hits the ground and doesn't get up. Needless to say, party was over. The guy lived, but not without permanent damage. Host spent quite a bit of time in jail at that time. A few years ago I heard he got into a quite a bit of trouble with the law and committed suicide.

What are some of your 'hold my beer' moments?

Probably have to be when this chick I was screwing got mad at me and her dad (I shit you not) came to my work and wanted a word with me. So I said sure. Went out there and I immediately broke his nose.

In hindsight I'm lucky he didn't press charges. But I thought he was going to kick my ass so I struck first. Dude was pretty big too. After that I had to deal with his two sorry excuses for Marine sons. No offensive to the Marine Corp. but these assholes didn't deserve to wear that uniform. When all was said and done, one blew his brains out in front of me at the grocery store and the other went to prison last I heard. Unreal!

Revenge, it's a bitch.

Hold my beer? Hold my large fucking balls!

I handed my drink and Maui Jims to a friend and did a free dive to retrieve an oldtimer's rod and reel that got dropped overboard. I didn't know other boats nearby were rocking chum balls though. Thought I was doing my good deed for the day, but when my hand made contact with his gear, I looked up to the surface and in my peripheral vision I see a lemon shark passing through the shadow of the boat I just jumped off of.

And that's when I decided my good deeds can happen on dry land from now on.

I can't think of any. I prefer being the person whispering in the ear getting the "hold my beer" people to do the crazy shit. I get all of the enjoyment without the hurt. I do draw the line at things that are intended to hurt other people though (its so much more fun letting a person just make a fool of themselves alone). Also I only do it to people that I generally know would be that way drunk or sober, and thus could handle the outcome.

I'd like to change mine: My newest Hold My Beer moment was when I learned that some chick screwed JC.

Why?
You've never heard a massive lie before?

Damnit beat me to it.

Trick question. Anything you have to put your beer down for isn't worth doing.

Just think about the OP. If the guy didn't put down the beer and swung the bat with one hand instead he might have spent less time in jail and could still be alive.

Pretty sure no good things came after "hold my beer" unless. maybe in porn.

Yeah but if you read the entire story it's almost surely complete bullshit.

no, I actually didn't...and holy shit you are right. No way an asthmatic, diabetic chain-smoking simpleton like John Conner is going to take out 2 marines and witness one of them off themselves over the shame of getting beaten by our corpulent AM radio aficionado.
