Last week a video surfaced online where a man drank 1 jin (500ml) of Baijiu and soon people started posting videos of themselves drinking 2 jin, 3 jin, 4 jin…until a man in Henan Nanyang drank 6 jin of Baijiu, equivalent to 3 liters of hard alcohol. This challenge went viral on WeChat and many people responded to the drinking challenge by posting videos of themselves chugging Baijiu. However, given that consuming such large amounts of alcohol can be fatal, some of the videos are likely to be parodies.

Don’t drink too much: Unlike the ice bucket challenge where people did stupid things for a good cause, the Baijiu challenge is just plain stupid. Instead, considerbecoming a Patreon of chinaSMACK and help us further grow as a site. Happy New Years!
