Beer Bike is one of Rice University's most important traditions; it is a combination intramural bicycle race and drinking competition dating back to 1957. Ten riders and ten chuggers make up a team. Elaborate rules include details such as a prohibition of "bulky or wet clothing articles designed to absorb beer/water or prevent spilled beer/water from being seen" and regulations for chug can design. Each residential college as well as the Graduate Student Association participates with a men's team, a women's team, and alumni (co-ed) team. Each leg of the race is a relay in which a team's "chugger" must chug 24 ounces of beer or water for the men's division and 12 ounces for women before the team's "rider" may begin to ride. Participants who both ride and chug are referred to as "Ironmen". Willy Week is a term coined in the 1990s to refer to the week preceding Beer-Bike, a time of general energy and excitement on campus. Jacks (pranks) are especially common during Willy Week; some examples in the past include removing showerheads, encasing the Hanszen guardian, and burying McMurtry's servery furniture in a beach volleyball court. The late morning of the Beer Bike race itself begins with what is by some estimations the largest annual water balloon fight in the world. Beer-Bike is Rice's most prominent student event, and for younger alumni it serves as an unofficial reunion weekend on par with Homecoming.

Get the Beer Gnat mug.A game involving beer and darts usually played while camping. Two players sit across from each other about 10 feet each armed with 3 darts and a beer in between their feet. The opposing player must try to hit the other players beer with their dart. If they do a hole is popped and the player with the beer must shotgun their beer out of the hole created by the dart. Usually this involves more than one beer and is an ideal way to get really drunk really fast.
Dude! Keenan was playing beer darts and he got a dart in the arm! Then he was so drunk that he jumped into the glacier river in his underwear and passed out at 3pm!

Get the Beer Darts mug.A person who feels superiority because of their knowledge of obscure beers. In the same way a normal hipster likes to take pride in their music library, a beer hipster will brag about what beers they know.
