It’s Friday: Get Bombed with the Sake Bomb

uppgrade — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 15:59:32 +0000

[$98] In your obligatory Friday drinking post, we’re showing off the aptly named Sake Bomb. This ceramic vessel is inspired by aquatic mines as well as the look of a puffed-up blowfish… and it’s made for getting completely bombed. The Sake Bomb holds 8fl oz of everyone’s favorite Japanese booze and comes with four shot glasses. Each glass sits neatly on one of the Bomb’s spines when not in use. Available in white, black, orange, blue, and marble.

The Bottle Bucket Keeps Your Booze Cold and Dry

[$70] How many seventy dollar buckets do you have at your place? Let me guess: none. So what the heck makes these crackheads think they can charge seventy bones for their Bottle Bucket? Oh right, it’s a clever way to chill your booze and it looks fantastic. The concept of the Bottle Bucket is simple: keep your drank cold while keeping it separate from the ice. It adds an element of sanitation (not that you’ll care when you’re tanked), as well as keeping your hands and your bottle dry. Comes with a mirror polished aluminum finish so at least the bucket will look classy while you’re peeing in a potted plant or passed out in a recycling bin.

Party On: Shot Glass Checkers

[$20] Are you tired of the same old drinking games? Yeah, neither are we. But if you feel like adding a little variety to the line-up (and you’re the kind of guy that can down 12 shots no problem) definitely check out Shot Glass Checkers. This hardcore party game comes with a 14” x 14” glass checker board, along with 13 frosted and 13 clear shot glasses. The manufacturer recommends you play in teams, but let’s be real- that’s totally for sissies. The rules are simple: if you get jumped, you drink, if you get crowned, drink double. Works for us.

The Climber Pouch: Wine for the Dusty Trail

[$17] And the boozin’ continues! This will be the last alcohol related post for a while, we swear, but how could we resist posting about The Climber Pouch? It’s wine… in a bag… and it’s made especially for camping and hiking! The Climber Pouch features an 80% lower carbon footprint and 90% less waste than bottled wine making it a certifiably green way to drink wine, especially when out in the wilderness. It’s also easier to store and carry in a backpack, it reseals, and it stays fresh for up to a month after opening which is pretty impressive for any kind of wine. The Climber Pouch is currently available in Cabernet and Chardonnay varieties and we’re hoping to see more choices in the future.
