1. A method for rapidly chilling beverages, comprising the steps of: providing a container for a beverage;providing a housing with a cooling liquid inside;immersing the beverage container in the cooling liquid;mounting, via a mount, the beverage container in an upright vertical position inside of the housing;continuously and alternatively rotating and counter-rotating the mount and the beverage container, via a motor, between approximately 500 rpm and approximately 1,000 rpm along vertical axis;switching between each of the rotating and the counter-rotating directions between approximately 1/10 of a second and approximately 2 seconds; andrapidly cooling the beverage inside the beverage container to a selected chilled temperature less than approximately 34 F. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the beverage container includes: a can. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the beverage container includes: a bottle. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of continuously and alternatively rotating includes the step of: continuously and alternatively rotating the beverage container between approximately 1,000 rpm and approximately 5,000 rpm in both rotating and counter-rotating directions. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the step of switching includes the step of: switching between each of the rotating and the counter-rotating directions between approximately 3/10 of a second and approximately 1 second. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of continuously and alternatively rotating includes the step of: continuously and alternatively rotating the beverage container up to approximately 2,500 rpm in both rotating and counter-rotating directions. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the step of switching includes the step of: switching between each of the rotating and the counter-rotating directions between approximately 0.3 seconds and approximately 0.7 second. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the beverage containers are selected from 18 oz container and a 20 oz container, and the step of rapidly cooling includes the step of rapidly cooling the beverage in the container to less than approximately 26 F in less than approximately one minute. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the beverage containers are selected from 18 oz container and a 20 oz container, and the step of rapidly cooling includes the step of rapidly cooling the beverage in the container to less than approximately 26 F in less than approximately 30 seconds. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of: providing a display for a temperature input;providing a temperature sensor for the cooling liquid;providing a temperature sensor for the beverage container;providing a motor for the mounted container;inputting a selected chilled temperature for the beverage container onto the display; andautomatically alternating the rotating and the counter-rotating of the beverage container until the temperature sensor for the beverage container reaches the selected chilled temperature. 11. A rapid-spinning liquid-immersion beverage cooler system, comprising: a housing with a cooling liquid inside;a mount supporting a container with a beverage inside of the housing in a vertical orientation so that the beverage container is immersed in the cooling liquid; anda motor continuously and alternatively rotating and counter-rotating the mound and the beverage container in the immersed liquid between approximately 500 rpm and approximately 1,000 rpm along, while switching between each of the rotating and the counter-rotating between approximately 1/10 of a second and approximately 2 seconds, wherein the beverage inside the container is cooled to a selected chilled temperature less than approximately 34 F, while maintaining the beverage container along one vertical axis. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the beverage container includes: a can. 13. The system of claim 11, wherein the beverage container includes: a bottle. 14. The system of claim 11, further comprising: a temperature sensor for the cooling liquid;a temperature sensor for the beverage container;a display for a temperature input, so that a selected chilled temperature is inputted onto the display, and the motor automatically alternates between the rotating and the counter-rotating of the beverage container until the temperature sensor for the beverage container reaches the selected chilled temperature. 15. The system of claim 14, further comprising: a beverage container size indicator on the display so that a selected beverage container size is inputted onto the display. 16. The system of claim 11, further comprising: a second mount for supporting a second container with a beverage inside of the housing so that the second beverage container is immersed in the cooling liquid, and wherein the motor is used for alternatively rotating and counter-rotating the second beverage container in the immersed liquid until the beverage inside the second container is cooled to the selected chilled temperature less than approximately 34 F within less than approximately one minute. 17. A device for rapidly cooling beverage containers, comprising: a housing having a cooling liquid inside, the cooling liquid pre-cooled to less than approximately 34 F;a mount supporting a beverage container which holds a beverage, inside of the housing in a vertical orientation so that the beverage container is immersed in the cooling liquid; anda motor alternatively rotating and counter-rotating the mount and the beverage container in the immersed liquid between approximately 500 rpm and approximately 1,000 rpm, while continuously switching between the rotating and the counter-rotating directions between approximately 1/10 of a second and approximately 2 seconds, wherein the beverage inside the beverage container is cooled to a selected chilled temperature while maintaining the beverage container along one vertical axis. 18. The device of claim 17, wherein the mount supports a can as the beverage container. 19. The device of claim 17, wherein the mount supports a bottle as the beverage container. 20. The device of claim 17, further comprising: a temperature sensor for the cooling liquid;a temperature sensor for the beverage container;a display for a temperature input, so that a selected chilled temperature is inputted onto the display, and the motor automatically alternates between the rotating and the counter-rotating of the beverage container until the temperature sensor for the beverage container reaches the selected chilled temperature.
