It's a "soft spot" in the top of the lid which can be punched in with a hard object like a key, to provide a vent opposite the main opening, so that when you're trying to chug a beer in one long swallow, the can doesn't get an air lock, which would slow you down.

Aren't you sorry you asked?

I think the Earthquake High Gravity Lager may be the worst.

Yes, actually I am. I THOUGHT that was the case, but I was hoping I was wrong. Aren't all the companies trying to tell us to "Drink Responsibly"? But then they make it easier for those who actually drink Miller Lite to shoot it down in one swallow??

Well, if you're going to drink Miller Lite, perhaps you SHOULD get it down in one swallow!

All beer and coffee. I just can't develop a taste for either one.

Campari straight - horrible horrible Italian bitter. It's not as bad when mixed In a cocktail. I do like a nice Scotch. I'm in Georgia and don't mind a little White Lightnin' every once in a while. Had some made with Apple a few times that was actually pretty awesome.

Pretty much all alcohol, except maybe sake. Actually, sake tasted like a soapy bath, but it was an interesting experience drinking it.

As for non-alcoholic drinks, pozol, a traditional southern Mexican (Maya?) drink made out of chocolate tasted like muddy water, and agua de chaya, another Mexican drink from Yucatan province, made out of chaya leaves.
