Step 1: Tilt beer can until air bubble is positioned almost directly next to the bottom of the beer (this is where you pierce the aluminum).

Step 3: With mouth to the new opening, tilt the can upwards, simultaneously opening the beer the conventional way so that air forces the beer into your mouth.
