To chug a beer, relax your throat and hold your breath while you tip the beer back and let it flow down your throat. Don't swallow like you would if you were drinking a beer normally, since it will make chugging it harder. Instead, open your throat so the beer flows directly from your mouth to your stomach. If you're still struggling, try firmly tapping your beer on a hard surface first to release some of the carbon dioxide in it, which will make it easier on your stomach. You should also make sure you're taking a deep breath before you start chugging so you don't run out of air too quickly. To learn how to chug beer from a bottle using a straw, scroll down!
