This is a weird level of pedantry induced by holding many beers tonight, but I've always thought of "Hold my beer" as in "Holy shit the sonofabitch actually pulled it off, brilliant". I think it's perfectly fitting. Jumping a riding lawnmower over a car with a beer in hand but they actually did the math first. I love it.

It’s referring to a comment a drunk person would make before doing something extremely risky. They need someone to hold the beer so it isn’t spilled during what’s coming next.

Right, but in those situations they succeed, kind of like "the cameraman never dies".

{\off I think they used "hold my beer" correctly. It can be used for any weird idea, that a drunk person would actually try (usually with a stretch), regardless if they succeed or not. I don't think that "the SOAB actually pulled it off" is part of the usage.}
