I personally don't hold my beer too well. I've dropped it on occasion. Then there was the time I just all out dropped my beer while partying on Kagle's boat. Wait, there was also Jimbone's recent party where I also dropped my beer. Damn things just keep slipping out of my hands...
Ahhh, the signs and symptoms of the dreaded "Snapper Hand." A classic drinkers malady. Usually followed by words such as "Shit. Asshuffer! You knocked that out of my hand on purpose! Oh, that wasn't you? Whaddya mean, nobody touched me? OK, OK, just an accident, nobody's fault, step back everyone, nothing to see, nothing to see. Where's the broom?"

Most tragic case of Snapper Hand I ever witnessed was when Rob Quint stepped into a "Port-o-let" (Loo-on-Wheels to you UKDBs) with commemorative beer glass in hand. During the critical period, we heard a big thump, some crashing around, and a mighty "Shit!!!" Rob came out sans beer glass. Very sad. Gravity was working well that day. There was nary an arm long enough or drunk enough to attempt retrieval.

It's terminal I hear. Incurable. ;-)
