Greatest beer glass ever? No. They need a 40oz version.

Friday, February 6th, 2009

Here is a great valentines gift for your drunken significant other:

drunk-gift

A Hand-blown-glass, upside-down beer bottle.  Its called hopsidedown and it reminds me a lot of one of our earlier christmas gifts for drunks selections.  As with those other glasses, the main problem with this is you can only pour about half a bottle of beer into these little things.  That’s fine if you’re a 12-year-old, but I’m only getting one of these when they make a version modeled after a 40.

Ain’t no Party Like a Shotgun Party

Monday, January 5th, 2009

shotgun-beer-can-opener

I happened upon one of these bad boys at a party, and this is definitely the way to throw back a few beers. From across the room, I saw this gorgeous shotgun can opener in action. There was a radiant glow surrounding her as she crushed a beer in 4 seconds. I knew it was love at first site.

The fine people at ShotgunParty.com have created a brilliant keychain with a bottle opener and a hook that opens cans for shotgunning. If you don’t know what that is, watch this video:

From what I’ve seen out there in the field, the art of shotgunning a beer is slipping away, losing its ground with the younger generations. And it’s pretty damn embarassing when you see someone try to open a beer for shotgunning purposes, usually by jabbing a knife into it and hosing everything within 5 yards in beer spray. That’s why this keychain is so damned handy. It’s pretty solid at minimizing the spray, plus people really dig on it. You can pick 3 up for $10, which is worth it just to save all that lost beer from your amateur shotgun prepping.

Why a Large-Format iPod Touch will be a Netbook Killer

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

big-ipod-touchWhen I first read the rumors that Apple was working on a big-brother version of the iPod touch I had the same reaction as most people: “Huh!?” The more I think about it however, the more I realize this may be a stroke of genius and create a whole new product category.

Two of the biggest reasons people say a large-format iPod is unlikely are because it will be too big to fit in your pocket and apps from the app store won’t run correctly. (more…)

Christmas Gifts for Beer Drinkers: Giant Beer & Wine Glasses

Behold the 5-for-1 beer glass, that holds 5 beers at once. Fill your glass five times less often. Perfect for shaming your friends who think they can chug mass amounts of beer. Behold it in all it’s beauty:

Especially around the holidays, with company parties and family gatherings every other day. I’m not sure how this wine glass is going to make you seem any more classy, however you will be able to honestly tell the missus that you only had two glasses at the party.

Christmas Gifts for Beer Drinkers: Day 2 – the Beer Blaster

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Have you ever thought to yourself: “Self, you should fill a super-soaker up with beer and then shoot your friends in the mouth!”?  I can’t say that i’ve ever thought that either, but after seeing this product, i wish i had.  Presenting the second in our daily Beer Drinkers Christmas Gift feature: The Beer Blaster

 Here is the description from their site:

The Beer Blaster is a handheld high-velocity drink delivery system. Translation? It’s a Beer Gun. Harnessing the carbonation power of canned drinks, the blaster can shoot your beverage of choice over 10 feet. A favorite on college campuses, the Beer Blaster is sweeping the party scene.

I’m not sure about “sweeping the party scene.” My party activity of choice is still drinking the beer and not shooting it, but this might come in handy towards the end of the night when things get out of hand.  Also, after looking at their site, i’ve got to say I’ve got a fond place in my heart for these innovative drinkers starting their own small business.  Buy a Beer Blaster and keep the small businesses of America afloat!

Christmas Gifts for Beer Drinkers: Day 1 – the iBreath

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Every day until Christmas (excluding days we get too drunk and/or lazy) we will post a new gadget that the drinker in your life would be ecstatic to receive this Holiday season. If we miss a day, we’ll make up for it with two bitchin’ gifts the following day.

I’d like to start this series off with the coolest gift I’ve found so far: the iBreath.

Yes, ladies and gentleman, it’s an iPod-powered breathalyzer (works on iPhones too). The brilliant people at David Steele Enterprises state that it’ll read you blood alcohol content within 5 seconds of blowing into the device’s tube. And that it’s accurate to within 0.01 BAC. And did I mention that it doubles as an FM transmitter for your car stereo? Well it does that too.

We’ve seen some pretty cool iPhone apps for drinkers (we’ve created two), but this is the best drinking-related use for the iPhone I’ve seen! We’re all about safety first here- go get hammered, punch holes in your wall, wake up next to a wildebeest, just don’t go drinking and driving.

It only goes up to 0.1 BAC, so it can’t be used as a novelty toy to see how wasted you can get, Tucker Max-style.

At $79, it’s very comparable to other breathalyzers, only this lets you jam to your iTunes in the car that you can’t drive for the next 5 hours. (btw, don’t sit in your car drunk, you can still get a DUI even if you’re just sleeping it off) Go out and get one for your friends, it could save their life.

Go check out our funny beer apps for iPhone.

Scotsman Trufill fills your beer faster!

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

The Scotsman Trufill is a new beverage pouring system that pours your beer with perfect head and faster!   They claim 10 pints in 10 seconds which seems like right around the rate I drink them.  It works by using a special glass and pouring from the bottom of the glass up instead of pouring in from the top.  Cool idea, now i just need to get one for my house.
