What is a beer snake?

A beer snake is a prank that involves connecting empty beer cups or cans in a row to create a long "snake-like" structure. It is often done at sporting events or music festivals, where attendees pass down their empty cups to add to the snake. The goal is to see how long the beer snake can become before it is either dismantled by event staff or collapses on its own. Beer snakes are not typically harmful or dangerous, but they may be frowned upon by event organizers due to the potential for creating a mess or disrupting the event.
