Where else but Chicago would Jeppson's Malört attempt to set a world record for largest group of people to simultaneously take a shot of the spirit?

The world record attempt set for this summer is part of a fundraising event that benefits Ravenswood Community Services, an organization that provides meals and groceries to people in need in Uptown and Ravenswood.

"Join us in setting the world record for 'The Largest Mass of People Taking a Shot of Malört at the Same Time.' Thousands of people, one night. Come to Chicago, raise a glass, and make a BAD DECISION FOR A GOOD CAUSE," the event website says. View More Here.
