We're just going to go ahead and file this one under, "don't try this at home."

With the exception of New Year's Eve, the holidays are pretty much over and whether you like eggnog or not; if you have some left over in the fridge, you may just want to throw it away because eggnog is deadly.

A pretty smart guy from Utah thought it would be a good idea to chug a quart of eggnog in twelve seconds during a contest at his office holiday party; landing him in intensive care.

Ryan Roche told ABC News that he's a pretty competitive guy who just decided he was going to win and poured the eggnog down his throat.  A couple hours later, Ryan says, "I was laying on the couch, shaking uncontrollably, nauseous, having fevers and panting."

A friend took him to the hospital, where he ended up staying for three days. The doctor explained that the eggnog literally went down the wrong pipe; triggering pnuemonia.

It wasn't all bad, though. For winning the eggnog chugging contest, Ryan won a $50 gift card to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
