Last weekend we celebrated P.J.’s 24th by renting out a warehouse and going apeshit. Our marketing guy and resident drunk, this party needed to represent every part of his ridiculous existence. Around 100 rowdy hooligans showed up to rage, paint, crush, drink, dance, bang and fight into the early morning. Supplies required for such an event:

• 100 year old lumber mill, rooftop bbq, graffiti room,
• Two kegs, 12 handles, thirty-six 40oz’s of malt liquor, 50 bottles of homebrew
• One 6 ft tall pinata
• DJ spinning nasty baby-making House
• 5 beer pong tables, 30 person flip cup game, beer bong
• Paint, spraypaint, paint pens, pig’s blood

The original plan was for all the drunk asses to crash in the warehouse, so we could all get crazy without getting behind the wheel. Destruction ensued: the walls, livers, dance floor, massive pinata, furniture, nothing was safe. And leave it to P.J. to be the only person we know to get kicked out of his own birthday party.

All in all, the first inaugural Notsoberfest was a hit and next year’s should be even wilder. Check out the photo gallery and see it for yourself.

Forbes has done some interesting research into which of America’s large metropolitan areas are home to the heaviest drinkers. Sorry to everyone who’s been working hard to bring their town to popularity as America’s Binge Drinking Capital. Maybe next list. Here’s the 15 cities most likely to need liver donors:

1. Austin, TX
2. Milwaukee, WI
3. San Francisco, CA
4. Providence, RI
5. Chicago, IL
6. Seattle, WA
7. Cleveland, OH
8. St. Louis, MO
9. Boston, MA
10. Cincinnati, OH
11. Pittsburgh, PA
12. Virginia Beach, VA
13. Portland, OR
14. Jacksonville, FL
15. Detroit, MI

I’ve sadly only been to one of these locales: San Francisco. Yes, yes I did drink there. I really need to go check out these cities. I wonder if the fine residents are fun, social drinkers or of the closeted, watching-Daily-Show-while-drinking-and-writing-blog-posts variety, such as myself.

This is one Awesome Guinness Ad:

Share one with a friend…. or two.

Somebody told me that this is a fake ad and that Guinness wants it taken down, but whoever created it is a genius.

So I do a lot of beer-releated web-browsing during the work-week. Part of that is because I’m a slacker and part of it is because of where I work. One of the funniest things I’ve found during these productive days is the surprising amount of robots designed and built to do something involving beer or drinking. I’ve put together a list of five of my favorites in no particular order.

1: Beer throwing fridge!

This one made it on letterman. Its a fridge that launches a beer to you! I don’t see how you would ever open it after the toss though, the foam would spray all over.

Hold your breath:

hehe.

Go on over and check out the 25 clever pick up lines at Sloshspot. I’ve implemented the polar bear one, gotta have a sense of humor for that one though. You’ll be thanking them if one of these lines hits big… or cursing them after a drink is poured in your lap. Here’s one for the bold:

Excuse me. My friend over there is a little embarrassed. He’d like your phone number. He wants to know where he can get a hold of me in the morning.

The fine people at Sloshspot have created a website that can always answer the question “Where should I go out tonight?” When 4:30 starts rolling around, use that last half hour at the office to actually do something, like utilize their targeted search for nightlife and entertainment to figure out how you’ll regain some of the life that monotonous day at work sucked out of you.

I need to buy one of these:

The only thing missing on this robot is a disco ball.

Sunday morning, after we’d all emerged half-alive from our various resting places (John, under the coffee table? Seriously?), we congregated in the garage…I mean office. That’s where the beer fridge is, making it the obvious meeting place. All in pretty bad shape from a solid 2-day bender, we started chatting about different hangover cures. The classics were presented, like mixing beer & clamato, bloody marry’s, etc. but we wanted to dig a little deeper.
We decided to start researching the strangest hangover cures, and where better to go fact-finding than the source of all truth, the Internet? Here are the strangest hangover cures we found:

#8. Lemon in the Armpits

Apparently some Puerto Ricans (and other citrusy fresh people) swear by this method. While I’ve read a few different opinions, the general belief is that you need to rub a slice of lemon in the armpit of your drinking arm before you start boozing. Out of lemons? Lime’s fine. I’m not so sure about this one, but either way you’ll be smelling fresh and fruity. Nothing attracts members of the opposite sex more than smelling like this fine lady:

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce to you the “Mug Shot Drinking Game.”  This makes for a great party game and always ends in a few hurt feelings, but then thats the point of a party drinking game right?

How it works:

1. Get 4-7 people gathered around a computer so everyone can see the screen.

2. Make sure everyone has their favorite drink in their hands, preferably 40’s with cozies.

3. Load up this slideshow of 250 awesome mugshots.

4. Go through the list and for each image decide who in the group the character in the mugshot looks most like.  You can vote, shout out names, point… whatever works for your group.

5. Person most like mugshot has to drink.

6. The game ends when somebody starts crying.

Enjoy.

Campussqueeze.com has a great post about 12 Beers You Should Only Drink In College.  They cover some of the greats such as Natural Ice, Schmidts, and, one of our favorites, the blue-ribbon-awarded Pabst.  We’re a little sorry they didn’t include any of our favorite malt-liquors.  Of course you should be drinking malt liquor well after/before college so Olde English doesn’t really belong on this list.
