Living in quarantine can pose challenges for many people. With the ongoing reality of Covid, residents have found creative ways to pass the time at home. One entertaining activity that has emerged is a chugging game. In the video, individuals are seeing with beer cans duct-taped to the garage door. After securely attaching the beer cans in place, they use the garage door opener to lift the door. As the garage door slowly opens, gravity comes into play, causing the beer to spill from the can approximately 8 feet high, while the participants attempt to chug it.

Whatever your mood may be, there are several chugging games out there to enjoy; however, the garage door chugging game can certainly be more challenging than others. Here are some useful tips from the garage door repair experts at Champion Garage Door Repair to make the game more enjoyable, safe, and prevent any damage to the garage door during play:

• Duct tapes may leave residue or scrape the paint or finish off the garage door after removal. To prevent damage, consider tying a rope between the hinges and mounting beer cans to the rope instead of directly on the garage door.
• Beer cans should be securely mounted to the garage door, as a beer can falling from 7-8 feet high on one’s head can end up with an injury.
• Use the garage door remote control to activate the door opener and lift the garage door instead of running to the wall console and back. Note that the remote control may stop working if it gets wet from the beer.
• Most importantly, to prevent breakdowns and unnecessary garage door repairs, ensure that the garage door’s path is clear. Objects caught in the garage door’s way may cause the door cable to jump off the pulley and the garage door to come off the tracks.
