Then how do I know when my Mustang hits 88 bald eagle wingspan per Budweisercan?

Because I found it entertaining -

If we assume it takes about 15 seconds to chug a bud, and that an eagle's wingspan is about 6ft, this leads to 528ft/15s, or ~24Mph.

Either you need a faster car, you chug your beer quickly, or you grow some oversized eagles.

15 seconds to chug a bud is an eternity.

I choose to assume the man meant what he said, has a slowish car that can only hit 75mph, but can chug a beer in a respectable 5 seconds.
