This girl’s got talent!

Beer pong has become a national phenomenon played by drunks from coast to coast. Over the four years at college I must have played over 500 beer pong games, although that somehow wasn’t enough to make me any good. Well in all that time I didn’t manage to run into the guys of OnFire Beer Pong.

I came into contact with these cats through a college buddy- it turns out these young gents (fellow alumni) are working hard to promote the sport and provide the best beer pong tables around. Their tables are regulation size but still very light (only 20 lbs [less weight than a 30 pack]) and collapsible so you can carry it with you anywhere. Being able to transport your table is clutch as you can challenge fools anytime you fancy. Even cooler is they give you the option of creating a custom design for the table top, meaning you can get whatever you want immortalized on your next beer pong table: your college logo, a pic of your roommate’s mom, etc. I want to cover my table with something beautiful and awe-inspiring, so I’ve chosen a flattering self portrait:

Before you plan your next trip, you should consider how far you’ll be able to get with your cash flow. I always try and pick destinations with favorable conversion rates (difficult these days) so I can rage as much as my bank account will allow.

I’ve found a fantastic site that will help you figure out your future beer-guzzling destination: www.pintprice.com. With this handy site you can figure out the price of a pint in any location across the world.

Why is this important? A couple years ago, I went to Ireland on a wild booze/rugby tour and figured I’d be fine with $600 in spending cash for a week. If I’d had this site to extrapolate my expenses solely for beer consumption, I’d have realized $600 doesn’t go very far when you’re dealing with Euros. And add to that the discovery of how delicious Guiness is in Ireland, straight from the source. And that I was drinking a dozen pints a night… you get the point, plan ahead and allocate enough money to the great conquest of drinking every beer that country has to offer. Drink strong!

Sand & Cotton has put together a great collection of malt liquor commercials with youtube videos of each.  Here is one of the crazier ones for Shlitz Malt Liquor:

I dunno if this means I hate my own race, but this is probably the greatest blog ever made: Stuff White People Like.

My favorite is #28:

“If you are in a social situation and wish to turn into one more conducive for romance, you should always ask “does anyone know a club with a good 80s night?” at which point the entire group of white people are likely to invite you to an event.”

Well, not a thousand ways. Thank these silly Germans for showing you some great new ways to open beers when sans bottle opener. As if you didn’t already know that everything on God’s green Earth can be utilized to open your beer.

This is for those lost in the limbo between college life and adulthood (read: every one in the 40Cozy crew). Clearly these have a kitschy and ironic appeal that your guests will appreciate, but the true beauty is the comfort you feel when holding your glass. Comfort earned from the hundreds of summer days spent sipping thousands of cheap keg beer in similarly shaped party cups. While it may seem like a good idea to play wine pong with these, I have to advise against it. These wine glasses aren’t cheap at $49 but they are pretty rad and you’ll be supporting a designer out there, which is a great thing.

This man is a bad ass! At 57 years old, I hope I’ll be able to party half as hard as this guy.
