Drinks For The Holidays

Shiner

It’s that time of year again and Holiday Liquor specials are on the shelves again. If you’re like me, you’ll be drinking your fair share of booze during the next month. I like to buy gift sets for teetotaler family and friends, play stupid and sneak the gifted drinks when no one’s looking. It’s like re-gifting to yourself, so be sure to buy something good. You deserve it.

Coors Light Continues Being Most Magical Beer on Earth

Just when you thought cold activated, color changing, wide mouth Silver Bullets was it, the wizards of Golden, Colorado have gone and given us another miracle on ice. Ladies and gentleman, I give you the Cold Activated Window! It’s opaque and magically turns transparent when the beers are cold. This calls for a beer. It’s after 1, I don’t think my boss would mind. See ya later..

Buyers Guide: Gummy Shot Glasses

Seems only natural for the next evolutionary step from Jello shots would be Gummy Shots, but god knows I don’t have the time to learn the alchemy necessary to create that magical sugary goodness, much less fashion it into the shape of our favorite tiny glasses for boozin’. These kids, however, have done just that. Seems pretty sweet to me. I’ll see if I can get them to send us a few and let you know how awesome they really are. Until then, you can check out their site for yourself and happy gummy shootin’!

Now That’s Using Your Head: The Wooly Willy Table

I can’t imagine anyone not remembering good old Wooly Willy and the literally minutes and minutes of fun his magnetic beard and hair metal shavings would provide. Now, someone has managed to go and build a table out of him. And you can too. Go check out Intructables for the details.

Buyer’s Guide: Creepy Conan the Leprechaun Doll

Now, I’m Team Coco all the way, but this little homemade Etsy guy here is seriously creepy. Now that being said, for $7 it’s definitely a bargain, even if you have to turn it facing the wall in another room of another house in order to get to sleep. Other than that, I think it’s outstanding.

Full description from Etsy:

A Hand Sculpted 1/12th Scale Miniature Doll

Conan needs a new job ~
I think he makes the perfect leprechaun!

He wears a hand sewn, late night show-type suit,
conservative looking, except that it’s bright green.
His hat and jacket are removable, his arms are slightly bendable.

He stands 6 1/2″ tall, 6 3/4″ (17 cm), with the hat.
His ginger hair is made of imported mohair.

Not intended for children.

I would say not intended for most adults either. Especially if you’ve been drinking.

Get Red-Eyed & Blue with Wilco Tango Foxtrot Beer

What do you know? Someone found a way to be clever, honor their favorite infighting indie band AND get you drunk. I say, WTF, let’s try one today.

If all those Wilco sandwiches are leaving you a little thirsty, we might have a solution: Lagunitas Brewing Company‘s new springtime beer, Wilco Tango Foxtrot. According to the Petaluma, California-based brewery, the imperial brown ale is “rich, smooth, dangerous, and chocolatey.” Just like Wilco! (Well, at least the “rich” part, maybe.)

Now this is what I’m talking about.. For the frat guy/alcoholic on the go who must, MUST show you exactly how great of a beer ponger he is no matter where you are. Even in a pool.. Now if I could just cut down on all the crack smoking, I could probably inflate one of these bad boys.. Maybe.

Pocket Shot – For The Drunk On The Go…

… who also can’t afford a freakin flask of his own to carry his Inspiration Juice around in. Nonetheless, it’s a kind of cool idea, even though I’m sure the crap no-name booze in these bags will be on par with those pre-mixed cocktails in a can you get at the liquor store. I mean who wouldn’t want to carry around a plastic sack of gin in their pants all day so it gets nice and warm before you drink it, ya know?
