Some of the x-country folks at my high school would do a chocolate milk mile…….I’d stick with beer

My beer mile is 8 minutes. You aren’t allowed to run and drink, you must chug the beer before beginning to run again. It’s best to practice with seltzer as you have to get used to the CO2 in your gut otherwise you’ll vomit foam. And if you vomit, you’re disqualified. Also look into the Hash House Harriers if you’re interested in drinking and running.
