2 minutes with some water, ice and salt is all you need:

Same science as adding rock salt to the ice in a crank-type icecream freezer! (-:

Damp paper towel and set in the output of the window shaker AC does a good job also.

That's neat and all, but I prefer to not leave my beverages at room temperature smiling smiley

Nobody wants that but sometimes you can't get your favourite from the store cooler and it's only available off-the-shelf.

Cooling is required......in a hurry. winking smiley

during WW2 my dad flew in the CBI theater and had this story about cooling their beer. apparently there was a small storage space in the P-38 behind the pilot. they would throw a case of beer in and in five minutes the a/c would be at 12-14000 ft. fly around a minute or two and then dump it over into a dive, mindful of the problems experienced when approaching mach 1, and head for the field. upon landing the beer would be nice and cold.
