A shout-out for everyone to drink one's beer; to turn's one's beer up(side down) as in chugging. Similar to the shout-out 'Cheers' but with more implied emphasis on chugging one's beer.
A modulation of 'bottoms up'.
"Up the Beers!" <everyone proceeds to toss their beers back in such as fury as to have them upside down; as to chug.>
The style/type of beer often consumed while standing up. These beer types are commonly characterized by:
- Heavy marketing to males
- Lower cost (less expensive)
- Higher volume (often purchased in bulk, i.e. 24-packs)
Standing-up beer can be consumed in a seated environment. "Standing up" is not an absolute requirement.
Standing-up beer is in direct contrast to sitting-down beer.
Common scenarios where standing-up beer is found:
- Outdoor barbecues
- Tailgating
- Bowling alleys
- NASCAR events
- Mowing the lawn

1. when a friend buys another friend a beer to make up for a wrongdoing.
2. to make amends with a friend who was insulted, let down, or wronged by buying them a beer.
Paul bought Kevin a make up beer to show that he was sorry for forgetting to invite him to his party last weekend.

The sober-up beer, typically the last beer of the evening, is perfect for when you're either overserved or too full and need just one more before you go home. A watery, domestic light beer usually fits the bill, perfectly balancing hops, barley, and hydration.
"Hey Mike, do you need another drink? No, I've got an early morning…make it a sober-up beer."
