Aaron Rodgers can zip a football through a tight window like few other.
But downing a cold one in short time? Well, not so much.
The Packers quarterback was in attendance at Fiserv Forum on Thursday night for Game 5 between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Toronto Raptors. Green Bay offensive lineman David Bakhtiari fired up the home crowd by effortlessly slugging a beer before calling on Rodgers to do the same. But when it was the two-time MVP’s turn to inhale the brew, let’s just say he had a little trouble putting it down the hatchet.

C’mon, Aaron.
Milwaukee sports shortcomings only continued from there, as the Raptors snuck past the Bucks 105-99 to take a 3-2 series lead in the Eastern Conference finals. But even after a back-and-forth playoff clash, a good chunk of fans on Twitter still were dwelling on Rodgers’ lousy chug.
Did Aaron Rodgers curse the Bucks? People are asking

Tough night for Aaron Rodgers eh. You just know he threw a fit when he got home after the game after being out chugged by other Wisconsin athletes. The guy was straight up embarrassed. Im sure when the #NFL starts the Rodgers chug memes will be everywhere. #Patriots

In hopes of saving face, Rodgers extended a recommendation to Bakhtiari for their next drinking competition.
Make it scotch next time @DavidBakhtiari #bucks

We suppose we can chalk this up as another win for Tom Brady, who cruised to an empty glass last year during a beer-chugging competition with Stephen Colbert.
