The film kicks off with a stark warning: “The performers in this movie are professionals. Please do not attempt to perform these activities at home. If you attempt to drink this much, you will die.” We meet Jan Wolfhouse, who is engaged in a high-stakes game of quarters with another man—his father. After a triumphant flip of a coin that lands in a narrow flower vase filled with beer, Jan’s father gulps it down. Soon after, Jan’s brother, Todd, interrupts the beer-fueled banter with news that everyone is waiting for them at a funeral for their family patriarch, Johan Wolfhouse.
