Abstract

A shotgun accessible beer can provides a pressurized beverage container, such as an aluminum can, having a second scored opening on the side, near the bottom. This pre-fabricated, non-improvised opening may be opened easily with any tool or a finger. Once open, the second scored opening presents a reduced risk of injury to the mouth of the user due to jagged aluminum edges. A first opening is provided at the top of the container. The second scored opening is provided at the base of the container. In a first mode of operation, the user may open the top tab to consume the beverage in the conventional way. In a second mode of operation, the user opens the second scored opening with a finger or other available instrument, immediately plugs the opening with his mouth, and then opens the top tab to drink the beverage.
