Not Ron Burgundy, The Other Anchorman

This one comes up from time to time. Jay's Bachelor Party. When we got to the cabin we rented for the weekend we started playing drinking games. We had a half barrel, so why not start a game of Anchorman. For those unaware, here are the rules:
Two teams sit on opposite sides of a table and try to get a quarter into a full pitcher of beer. To start the game flip a coin, and have a team call heads or tails in the air. If correct that team starts. The teams then alternate turns, trying to make their quarters land in the pitcher. The first team to put all 4 of their quarters in the pitcher is the winner. This means the losing team has to drink the contents of the pitcher. But before they drink, the winning team has to pick someone to be the "Anchorman". The anchorman must drink last and finish the remaining beer, whether it is just a sip or the whole pitcher. Teammates of the anchorman must drink first and decide how much they leave for the anchorman. While drinking, the teammates cannot take their lips off of the pitcher. If they do, they must pass the pitcher to the next person. If the losing team can not finish the pitcher, then it is filled up again and they have to start drinking it all over again. Sometimes that we actually "let the anchorman go dry" which means that the pitcher is gone before it gets to the anchorman. I can even recall seeing the first person finish the full pitcher of beer alone, but those days are far in the rearview mirror.
Anyhow back to the story. The only pitcher we found in the place was this behemoth. I mean look at it, it is the size of 2 of Nate's heads. It easily held a gallon. After the first game when the losing team couldn't finish the pitcher, we changed the rules so that each person on the losing team got two turns at drinking. And look at The General, you can tell that on his turn he only took a sip.

I bet Chicken let it dribble out of his mouth all on his shirt like Joey did in Friends, drinking the gallon of milk.
