So you've brought home a coupla' Coors Light six packs from the store for your tailgate. Trouble is, the beer is room temperature—not ideal for enjoying with your wings and all the touchdowns about to commence.

You need ice-cold beer, fast. Tossing your cans and bottles of beer into a cooler and burying them under ice is fine, but if you want to chill your beer even faster—we're talking lukewarm to chilled in the span of several minutes—add water and salt.

Ready for a 10-second science lesson?

Salt lowers the freezing point of water.

Adding salt to an ice-water mixture will cause the ice to melt and, in turn, drop the water temperature and quickly chill the beer.

Two words of advice: Add 1 cup of salt for every 3 pounds of ice, and keep the ice-water mixture on the "soupy" side as to completely cover the surface area of the beer can (whereas ice cubes have limited points of contact with the can).
