When you’re young, saving a beer from certain doom — like falling to the ground and not spilling a single drop or passing out cold with your beer upright and still intact — is seen in a heroic light. Albeit in a comical kind of way.

Officials said two people were treated on the scene for smoke inhalation and another was taken a local hospital. Incredibly, karmic retribution isn’t part of the story, and the beer dude was not among the injured.
