Whilst in the act of consuming alcohol, one who is dual wielding will be holding two different bottles. One bottle containing alcohol, of course; and the other being a good chaser.
Good examples are:
Rum and Coke.
Vodka and Orange Juice
and for all you hicks out there; A 40 and a bag of pretzels.
People who are inexperienced at drinking can not dual wield. It's completely impossible and is frowned upon by the elder drinkers in the room. No one likes a sloppy dual wielder.
However Dual wielding does a fair amount of skill, if you want to get really pro and do work like a man, throw the chaser on the ground and pound that alcohol.

Also called akimbo style, the practice of using two weapons simultaneously, one in each hand. The term usually refers to firearms, most commonly pistols (but machine pistols and other weapons can be used).
The practice has its start in the Old West. when cowboys generally carried single-action revolvers. Since these weapons generally had no more than a six round capacity and slow reload times, it was often necessary to carry more than one handgun. However, since most of the handguns were single-action, it was very impractical to dual-wield them. It is more likely that the cowboys used what is called a New York Reload which is to hold one gun in each hand, firing with the strong hand (generally the right) and then, when that gun ran out of ammunition, switching it out with the gun in the weak hand.
Dual-wielding as it is known today first became common in kung fu movies featuring guns, such as those directed by John Woo (called gun fu). The use in films later spread to some action and western films. Today, in addition to action movies and show, it is not uncommon to see akimbo style in video games.
There is a bunch of kids running around today who think dual wield is legitimate technique because of what they have seen in movies like the Matrix series and games like Halo. Dual wield is highly impractical for a variety of reasons. First of all, it makes aiming much more difficult. It is almost much more difficult to handle recoil when you are firing two handguns at one time.
