Upside-Down Keg Stands Rule!

If you have never performed the astute and highly popular partying drinking motion of being held upside down by your best friends as you pull a long suckle off the tap of a freshly opened keg of beer…then let me fill you in really quickly, shall I? Basically you will need a few things in order to pull off this act. You will require a fresh keg of ice cold beer, tapped and on ice with the tap attached. You will also need at least two other friends to hold you while you drink. And of course, you must have a rampant appetite for beer! How to do an Upside Down Keg Stand Position yourself in front of the keg stand. Brace your arms around the keg and do a pull-up as your friends grab your legs and hold you upside down. Take the tap and place the end of it in your mouth. Let the tap open and drink as much beer as you possibly can, and as fast as you can. That’s about all that there is to it! Where did this tradition come from? While the tradition of upside-down keg stands is purported to have emanated from college fraternities and sororities, nobody really knows for sure where this unduly form of intoxication and beverage ingestion monikers from traditionally. However, one thing is for sure: for some reason it tends to get you far more inebriated than just by drinking the keg beer from the classic, red plastic cup. In reality, drinking beer upside down, and directly from the tap of the keg does not really offer anything much more than a head rush (as the blood flows to your brain) and forces you to drink beer faster than you would, at the speed of the tap, it is most certainly a fun drinking game. Upside-Down Keg Stands are the Staple at 20-Something Birthday Bashes A birthday party (as shown in the video below, courtesy of a group of people partying for dude named Mike’s birthday party) demonstrates how fond a group of 20-something persons is of drinking beer upside down and directly from the tap of a fresh and ice cold keg. Notice the group interaction? See how much fun they are having and that the act is not merely limited to just men; the girls love doing it to? So who really cares where the tradition comes from, when clearly it is just plain fun!

Beer and Steak: A Match made in Marinating Heaven!

Ah beer and steak, that always timeless combination. It is as perfect as strawberries and whip cream, chocolate chips and cookies, and alcohol and weddings! What would we beer drinkers have to resort to if we did not have such tasty beverages to enjoy with each and every meal? The best part about different beers is that they offer different flavors for the steak that you are grilling. Darker beers add more textures and marinate with sediment, while lighter beers offer more robust flavor and help to better soften the meat. One thing is for sure: steak just wouldn’t be the same without a beer to go along with it! Beer goes great with steak before and afterwards! Typically, you want to marinate your steak with the desired seasonings and about a bottle of beer per two cuts (NY strips) for at least an hour prior in your fridge. I always recommend using the beer that you prefer to drink, as it will best add the flavors that you desire to the cut that you plan on grilling. For more robust flavor stick to lagers and for a richer flavor use ales. Why it Tastes so Good! Most beer drinkers will always have something different to tell you as to why they deem beer their beverage of choice. But when it comes to it all we all have one thing in common: we think that it tastes good and adds lots of flavor to any meal, both in the before and in the aftertaste. So it only seems natural that beer and steak make the ideal marinating and beverage combination both pre and post ingestion. Pre to marinate the steak in the beer’s goodness, and post to enjoy that hearty cut with a solid and balanced beverage that best leverages the taste of the bovine! How to Marinate Beer in Steak (Video Included) As if you need to know how to do this, but it still helps to see it right before your eyes! This cool, would-be chef demonstrates how to make the perfect steak using beer or Coke! So now you will have learned two recipes by watching a short video. So go ahead. Get out there, and start grilling already, that steak is not going to cook itself! Oh, and make sure that you save a piece and a cold beer for me, I was thinking about stopping by later on!

If you have never had a glass of delicious jungle juice when at a party then you are truly missing out my friends! I stumbled across this concoction years back during my college days and have loved it ever since. It makes for the best mix drinks to serve at parties because you can mix it up in mass quantities prior to the party and offer cheap mix drinks to all your guests! The Ultimate Party Drink Jungle juice is an old school recipe that has been around for ages upon ages. It involves some fruity liquors with some hardcore liquors and juices all mixed together to make one hell of a highball. A drink that you won’t really taste the liquor in and that you can make in vast amounts for fat house parties without going broke in the process. People can drink beer and jungle juice and they cost nearly the same to mix together a fat keg! Things You will Need: • 2 bottles of Berry Flavored Vodka (750 MML) • 2 bottles of Peach Schnapps • 2 bottles of Bacardi 151 Rum (Oh yeah) • 4 bottle of apple juice • 3 bottles of orange juice • 2 bottles of fruit punch • 2 bags of ice • Large water cooler (4-6 gallon) • 1 pound of white granulated sugar • Large spoon How to Make it: Mix all of the contents together in a large 4-6 gallon water cooler. Add the ice first, and then the alcohol. Finally, pour in the sugar, and then slowly mix in the juices, pouring in a circular motion to best mix the contents. Then stir it using a wooden spoon and allow it to sit and seep for at least an hour before serving. Keep the water cooler in a bucket of ice to keep your jungle juice chilled and ready to serve!

How to Extract the Pure Alcohol from Beer—Really Easy Process!

If you have never hear of this oddity before let me turn you on to an all too popular subject that revolves around extracting the pure alcohol that is contained in every loving bottle or can (preferably bottle) of foamy suds. You can actually harvest this nearly pure alcohol in a relatively easy manner and take the real beer shots. Some highly potent, highball shots that will leave you so dizzy you would swear that you are on an upside down roller coaster going backwards through a gravitational vortex the size of the moon; yeah it is that nutty my friends! Why the Alcohol Gets you so Messed Up Think about this. They say for about every beer that you drink you are actually consuming mostly calories and water and about one shot of diluted, 100-200 proof alcohol, depending upon the beer and its potency. So, rather than ingest so many empty calories, a fun way to get drunk fast is to simply extract the pure alcohol that is contained in every single bottle of delicious beer. Not to knock beer, we all love beer. But perhaps we are not so fond of the tummy that it produces after a few years of nearing our early thirties. So with that said: cheers to real beer shots! Beer Shots the Real Way! So if you are really down to take beer shots the true and real way, this is how you do it. Buy a case of beer, preferably beer that retains rather high alcohol content and that is bottled. Then jam it in the freezer, being careful not to shake it up or disturb it beforehand. A few hours later the liquid in the beer will freeze, but the alcohol cannot. Then pop the tops and dump the single shot of alcohol into shot glasses. Try sucking that down, I bet you can’t do five in an hour! How to Instantly Freeze a Beer (Check this out!) Want to learn the bartender’s trick for instantly freezing beer and harvesting the liquor contained within? Don’t we all? This awesome video will show you exactly what you need and how you can do this process in less than two minutes. Fun for you, and fun for me—and fun for all your friends. It’s time for beer shots!!! Any takers?

An Unlikely Frozen Combination: Everclear and Otter Pops!

When it comes to house parties and hosting larger groups of friends who love to drink, I have had many under my belt and on my partying resume. So along the way I have learned a few great tricks that are sure to please your guests! This time around I would like to share with you a little known mix drink, actually a frozen highball that will get you drunker than sin and tastes oh so delicious and smooth going down! Why it Tastes so Good I never thought that one of the most potent drinks on the planet could taste good in anything but my car’s gas tank! However, Ever Clear actually tastes quite good in Otter Pops. Perhaps the odd mixture of sugar and alcohol or for some odd reason they just culminate perfectly, like a Long Island Iced Tea. The fact of the matter, when it comes down to it all, however, is that it tastes great and you barely taste the liquor. The ultimate frozen party highball! Cool Party Idea I tried this out for a house party that I hosted for my younger brother's 21st birthday and it worked marvelously. You need one of those huge packs of Otter Pops frozen popsicles. You will also need a syringe and a huge bottle of Ever Clear. You can buy large packages of Otter Pops and the Ever Clear at any Sam’s or bulk item grocery store. Do not freeze them right away. Instead, inject one shot (1 ounce) of Ever Clear into each pop and then use scotch tape to place over the injection spot. Then freeze, serve and enjoy responsibly!  Bill Cosby’s Take on Drinking Hard Alcohol Little known to many people out there, Mr. Cosby loves a good drink. But when he talks about it to large audiences, it gets even funnier, sometimes even a bit out of hand. One thing is for sure: people love their liquor. Take it away and they go crazy. However, allow them to enjoy it and regulate it, and you have one hell of a happy place to call the world. And would you even be here at this site right now reading my many posts if you did not enjoy a good, stiff drink from time to time? I thought not. So kick back and relax and see what drinking means through the eyes of one of the most hilarious comedians to ever walk he planet earth!

50 Shots of Red Wine in 50 Minutes, Are you up for the Challenge?

Are wine shots the new beer shots? Well actually yes they are, but it is nothing new. Wine samplers and open chest inventories specials have forever been the norm, long before the game of taking beer shots was even invented by a drunken fraternity somewhere, at some Ivy League college in the United States. In fact, wine has been around for far longer than beer ever has. So indeed, wine shots and or sampling different wine rapidly, has been a tradition for thousands upon thousands of years. How to Play the Game of Wine Shots You need four people and plenty of cheap, red wine. You will also need a package of those disposable shot glasses. Set out fifty shot glasses on a table, per person, and fill each one with one ounce of red wine. That’s fifty ounces of red wine that you are all engaged and obligated to drink. Whoever drinks their fifty shots first wins. And, you must do it in less than fifty minutes. Betting money or other items always enhances the race! Does the Wine Brand Matter? Not really, but what matters is the overall potency. If, for example, you were to go out and purchase red wine that was fourteen percent as oppose to nine percent, you would be a hell of lot drunker than you would ever get off the lesser potency. So for a good rule of thumb, get an easy to drink red wine that is 9-12% alcohol and make sure that you don’t forget plastic shooter cups. Best of luck to you and may the last man barely standing win! Wine Shots are Popular in Uppity Liquor Stores I found this video on Youtube which augments my thoughts on this subject. Instead of doing the classic beer shots, why not substitute them for wine shots? They are much higher in potency and they will get you drunker faster. And for any of you who can even make it to fifty shots in under an hour, good luck recovering as you very well may be too drunk to even make it to the bathroom and pray to the porcelain god in time. In this video (below) patrons shoot down nine shots of different red wines at a store in a few minutes, see their reactions after just nine shots!

New Captain Morgan’s 100 Proof Rum Well Worth the Bucks!

If you have not heard about the newest trend in the always tasty and spiced, Captain Morgan’s Rum, then read on my dear drink loving brothers and sisters! This time around, and much to my delight, the good folks that make this particularly tasty name brand have decided something that we have all known for far too long: it never had enough alcohol in it to begin with. So in recent months they have developed a far more potent, yet well-priced 100-proof version of the rum that is sure to kick your socks off and then some, after just a few shots. The end result: get buzzed faster. Spend less money. And, enjoy premium quality rum with your favorite brand! Why the Newer 100 Proof Rum Rocks! Unlike the Captain Morgan’s of yesteryear, which was only 35% alcohol, this time around it’s been bumped greatly. Now this means that it will be harsher and more potent, but because it is spiced, it still mixes perfectly and when you do your pouring right, you will find it hard to notice that this is indeed higher potency rum. Furthermore, unlike Bacardi’s 151, which is nearly gasoline if you ask me, this 100 proof goes down smooth and silky, with a robust, spiced aftertaste that will leave you craving another sip. Still the Best Mix Drink is with Cola! Of course, the best mixed drink on the planet for such often ordered highballs still remains cola, namely Coca Cola. However, I have also found that Pepsi’s zero calorie cola beverage is far tastier as a mixer than Coke’s Zero. So, if you are looking for a low calorie way to get drunk quickly, it’s all about Morgan’s 100 proof and Pepsi’s zero calorie soft drink, and cherry flavor just makes it better! Hilarious Captain Morgan’s Commercial: The Captain runs for President! Most people report that they have never seen this really funny commercial. It features a man masquerading as the astute Captain Morgan, in a bid for the US presidency. Similar to any other political commercial that you will ever see, this one bilks the economy and so forth and touts how likable a fellow Mr. Morgan is. I believe that this series of commercials was run during the 2008 US presidential campaign. I have imbedded it below for your amusement!
