Billy Crawford, a TikTok sensation, is known for his wild drink challenge.
From chugging vinegar to consuming entire jars of black pepper, his stunts have taken TikTok by storm.
But what goes through his mind when taking on these crazy challenges?
Billy Crawford’s vinegar challenge: The beginning of viral fame
Billy’s viral journey started with a dare. It wasn’t planned, but a friend suggested the “vinegar challenge” while they were in Belfast.
They were at a store when Billy decided to take it on. “I wasn’t going to do it, but then I said, ‘We’ll do the vinegar challenge here now,’” he explained.
Billy then chugged about a quarter of a bottle of Sarson’s vinegar.
The taste was unbearable, as he described: “It was absolutely rotten.” Despite the awful experience, that moment marked the beginning of his viral fame.
The aftermath of drinking vinegar
After drinking the vinegar, Billy immediately felt uncomfortable. His stomach was tight, and he knew something was off.
To ease the discomfort, he went to the pub. “I chugged this Guinness back and said, ‘I need to throw up,’” he recalled. Soon after, he was in the pub’s toilets, dealing with the aftermath.
“It was just all out, it was absolutely rotten,” Billy said.
Despite this, he didn’t let the experience discourage him. The next challenge would soon follow.
Billy’s worst challenge: swallowing black pepper
Billy’s challenges are known for being uncomfortable, but one stood out as the worst: the black pepper challenge.
He didn’t just take a spoonful; he swallowed an entire jar of black pepper. “When I knocked that full black pepper back, it stuck to the back of my throat, went up my nose, and it actually took my breath,” he explained.
Billy struggled to breathe, feeling as though he couldn’t catch his breath before recovering. “It’s absolutely crazy,” he said.
Not all challenges were unpleasant, however. Billy found the “cement mixer” challenge surprisingly enjoyable.
This drink consists of Baileys and lime juice, which curdles and takes on a thick, cement-like texture.
While it clogged his throat, Billy thought that with the right texture, it could taste quite good.
“It’s dead, dead thick, and it clogs up your throat,” he said. “But I think if it came in a more drinkable form, it would taste good.”
Why Billy won’t do nutmeg

Though Billy is open to trying almost anything, there is one challenge he refuses to take on: nutmeg.
Nutmeg can cause hallucinations, and Billy doesn’t want to risk his health. “There’s people asking me to do challenges like nutmeg, but stuff like that is so bad for your health,” he explained.
“I wouldn’t go to the length where it would damage my health.”
While he’s tackled salty and spicy challenges, nutmeg is a step too far.
So why does Billy continue to take on these crazy challenges?
For the fans. The positive feedback keeps him going, and he enjoys making people laugh.
“So many people are saying, ‘Your videos are absolutely fantastic, you make me laugh, I’m rolling on the floor,’” he shared.
“That’s why I do TikTok. If I can make someone’s day better, I’m happy. If someone’s happy watching me, I’m happy.”
Despite the discomfort, he continues to entertain his followers, embracing every comment and suggestion.
“For a good craic,” as Billy puts it, he’ll do whatever it takes to make his fans laugh. If you’re following his journey, expect more wild stunts ahead.
