Yikes. WHAT. Yes, Scottish brewers BrewDog have brewed the strongest beer in existence at 55% ABV called The End of History. And then they put in in squirrels and stoats (whatever the hell those are). What a really great idea! It’s very surprising that MillerCoors and Budweiser didn’t pioneer this trend first by sticking kegs in deer […]

Once upon a time, on an internet in a faraway land, I used to have a LiveJournal (“I think they’re called ExtinctJournals, Grandpa”). Yeah I know, lame. But one of the things I miss about it is when I would put together music mixes for the 10s of people who read it. I would take

So apparently a phenomenon called “Icing” is sweeping the nation and I’m only hearing about it now. What is it, you ask? Basically, it’s making someone chug a Smirnoff Ice on one knee, no matter what they’re doing or where they are. They can either be handed the Ice, or tricked into discovering it by

There’s only 3 or so hours left in our beloved 24, but that doesn’t mean you can’t drink along with these last few hours.

Recently I had the opportunity to travel to Asheville, North Carolina for a weekend-long bachelor party with twelve other dudes.

And once again, like a brain-hungry zombie, the show rises again

So I don’t know how this isn’t bigger news, but apparently during the everything-fest of SXSW, legend Bill Murray was seen tending bar at Shangri-La. Seems like he was just drinking there at first, and somehow magically ended up behind the bar, serving up shots of tequila to the clamoring crowds. The man can’t help

Hey gang. I’ve been a lousy blogger, I know. But I couldn’t let a drinking holiday like St. Patrick’s day go by without posting something. What am I, a monster? So you may have heard of a new kind of shot that’s going around called the Pickleback. Simply put, it’s a shot of whiskey (typically

Slate put up an article on Friday that I just now found, detailing the story of how the US government purposely poisoned alcohol during the prohibition years, which resulted in more than a few deaths. The whole article is worth a read, but here’s probably the best catch-all quote: Frustrated that people continued to consume so much
