Chilled Shots: Bar Style, In Your Home

You know those that some bars have to make sure that your drink (especially Jager) is super cold so you can’t actually taste it and can get drunk anyway? Yeah, they don’t just sell those to bars. You can get one of those shot chiller things for $149.00 from Skymall (Skymall? I’m not on a fucking plane!).

On the one hand, I’d love to see one of these sitting behind our bar… On the other hand, you could just buy a mini-fridge with a freezer and viola!… Ice cold shots. For less. And you could, you know, keep other stuff cold too… And you could always buy the Ice Shot Glasses…

But if you are buying a $150 shot pourer, it’s for the amount that your friends’ jaws will drop when they see it, not for how practical it is — unless you own a bar or something… This one even features LED illumination for “an eye-catching bottle display.” That’s cool, right?

More Taps = More Fun, Less Waiting

The Octopus tap is not an eight hose multi-tap. I know! What the shit is with that name then? When I think “Octo”, I think eight! That’s because everyone fucking does! That’s because “OCT” means EIGHT!!!

The “Octopus” tap really does have four hoses… And despite the fact that it’s name is fucked up and it really should be called the “Quadrapus” tap, it really is quite a good multi-tap for a keg.

Okay, so you’re gonna have a party… And the size of this party merits the purchase of a keg. But let’s say that you aren’t quite balla’ enough to be rocking the kegerator in your house. Having one keg and lots of people over leads to lines! Lines for beer suck! Your whole party is going to suck! And then no one will like you anymore! Jesus Christ!

Having a multi-tap is like having multiple kegs! Instead of one person filling up, multiple persons can fill up! This means no lines and a good party with more drinking at a faster rate!

The “Octo”pus tap dispenses four beers at the same time. Quite well too! You could even run a power hour with this thing, and everyone would have ample time to fill up from the same keg. And you’d be surprised that you don’t even have to pump the thing any more than a normal tap. There are lots of multi-taps out there, but the Octopus tap is a good sturdy one that’s actually not that expensive. It comes in either a US Sanke (system D) or European Sanke (system S).

Kegs are fun, but lines are not. Get a multi-tap, like this poorly named one, to make your keggers as fun as possible.

The Octopus tap is only $68.95 at [Octopustap]

The Type of Flask That Giants Use

This flask is not practical. There’s no way you can fit this into your pants. In that way, I guess one could make the case that it is not a very good flask because it seemingly fails at the bottom-line objective of all flasks: concealing alcohol…

But in reality, this flask is awesome! No one will dare pull out a little 16 oz. “pussy” flask when you roll in with this one gallon behemoth from Orvis. Monogrammed and everything.
Probably mostly intended as a gag gift (an expensive one too at almost $200!)… But the joke’s on you Orvis! We’re calling your bluff and we’re actually going to use this flask for liquor carrying. Crazy, you say? We’ve been called worse…

Feel like a giant yourself: [Orvis]

Breathalyzer for iPod: iBreath

Somebody finally made the iPod useful by making a breathalyzer attachment for it! Despite the stupid rip-off name, the from David Steele is actually a good idea for the College Drinker. To use this one, you just fold out the little straw and blow into it for 5 seconds. The reading is accurate to within .01 BAC. It even has a built in FM wireless transmitter so you can still rock your tunes with this thing attached.

Make a game out of it! See who can score the highest!! If you lose the game, you take a shot! I love the breathalyzer game! (warning: this is not actually a good game)

If you’re the smallest of all your friends (a.k.a. “the driving bitch“) then you might really want to consider getting one of these. Drunk driving is no joke. It can get you into serious shit legally, and it can even get you killed. If you don’t live in the city where you can take a cab, and you can’t call a safe ride or something like that, make sure you blow this little baby before you drive.

And remember: if you happen to be less than 21 (OMG!), the legal limit for driving is not .08! It is .00! You really don’t get much pussy riding your bike because you don’t have a license until you’re 21…

I Am Going to Get Some SoCo Right Now!

Haha! If that doesn’t sell you…

Beer Belt: Because You Only Have Two Hands

Awesome! I have to salute After 5 for this Beer Belt. Even if you think that the concept is ridiculous, you have to give them props for strapping it onto a hot chick! Some companies still know what their target market is looking for

The Beer Belt is a strap-on beer carrier that can hold up to 6 cans (plus you’ve got one in each pocket and one in each fist… equals 10! Almost enough!). Plus it’s insulated, to keep them cold if you can’t get to them fast enough. The website even advertises that the “adjustable wide 2″ belt evenly distributes the weight of the six beer, giving the user long hours of beer carrying capability.”

This is pretty much just for show in my mind. I mean, you’re not really using this for carrying beer to a party or something because it doesn’t conceal it (like, say… a backpack). But you would look pretty cool… or really pathetic… with this belt strapped on you at a tailgate or something.

Pick on up at [After 5] for $49.99, which isn’t really that cheap (it doesn’t even come with the beer in it)… But for you to be “that guy” it might be worth it.

And if I ever see a girl like that sporting one of these in the real world… that’s the girl I make my wife, baby!
