A woman has been branded ‘disgusting’ after being filmed drinking beer through a dead fish.

Aimee Lynn, 28, was dared to take part in the bizarre stunt by her friends, where she drinks alcohol that has been poured inside a gutted salmon.

Filmed in Port Washington, US, the clip shows the moment Aimee opens her mouth and drinks a pint from between the fish's lips, reports the Mirror.

Her friend then gives her a high-five after completing the act, before she says: ‘That was awful.’

Afterwards she revealed that the most difficult part of the challenge was trying not to laugh during it.

She told CBS: ‘If you watch the video you can see that they lifted the fish too much, the fish's mouth almost got stuck in my throat and I felt like I was drowning.

‘I was trying to breathe and not laugh at the same time, so it was horrible to drink all the beer ‘

Since uploading the clip on Facebook , it has received over 3.5million hits and thousands of shares.

The American, who lives in Wisconsin , has received criticism for taking part.

One person wrote on Facebook: ‘How dare you do this to that poor fish’, while another added ‘You are disgusting.’
