Downing a single drink seems pretty casual to me, I don't get the fuss. Happens 976857x a day at every University in the country

Loosen up a little.
I'm not sure why folk should 'loosen up a little'? Down a pint, nip or whatever....no big deal there. I think everyone realises this and most people have done it in their lifetime.
I watched a video report on this from an Australian source and it sums it up perfectly when the reporter says that you down a drink ......then internet rules apply......upload a video, then the next person tries to top the result and so on and so forth until it snowballs into folk downing entire bottles of vodka, whisky, even saw one downing a bottle jaeger. Or in some cases booze followed by all sorts then doing stupid things in the hope of their video going 'viral'. Internet fame is what its all about but as folk, including myself, have said if it kills off a few idiots who dont realise the dangers then who cares eh. No sympathy.
The people in my office have seen vids their mates have taken, neck something then have a swim in the north sea, dive into a shallow river, even heard that someone downed a pint, sat behind a cow, let it dump into the pint then drink that!
