Beer Frisbee - Beersbie

Got a new drinking game for you. It requires you to get your ass outside, so grab some beer and enjoy the awesome weather.

2-4 Players:
First you need two posts or pipes roughly to the chest in height and spaced a decent Frisbee toss apart stuck squarely in to the ground. You now need an object for either pole, we used empty bottles but I’m sure you could improvise some other object as long as both poles get the same object for fairness. You place this object on the top of either pole. Choose the throwing order/turn order. When it is your turn to throw the other team is ‘defending’ and you may only score when throwing. There is a beer in hand rule at all times, even while throwing. The objective of the thrower is to knock the object off the opposing team’s pole which can be done via a direct hit, hitting the pole, or just tripping up your drunken opponents. The defenders must then prevent the object from hitting the ground and catch the Frisbee. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Scoring can be done however you want but this is what we did…
Games were to 10pts.
1pt awarded for a failed catch of the Frisbee but only if it hit the object.
1pt awarded for a failed catch of the object.
1pt awarded (to opposing team) for a spilled drink regardless of defense/offense.
Loser finishes their drink.

Thought of the Day: Call Me!

Okay, so in celebration of our presidents (minus the current one), I decided to throw a party at my place last night. It was fun. There were lots of good people there and we all had a great time. I shared a six pack of Heineken and New Castle with my roommate, and later enjoyed some of our left over Coors Lights (there always better when your drunk). So as you can imagine it was a good night.

Top 5 Cities for Beer Lovers

1. Amsterdam
Cozy, neighborhood watering holes serving beer (or pils as the locals call it), the Dutch way – with exactly two fingers' worth of foam on top – aren’t hard to find in this city. Heineken, Grolsch, and Amstel are three of the best-known native brews, but a sampling of artisanal blends and witte (wheat) beers from neighboring Belgium are also on the menu at Amsterdam’s cozy “brown” bars, so called for their antiquated, nicotine-stained walls. If your interest in hops goes beyond consumption, take a tour of the Heineken Experience, where tastings are encouraged.

2. Berlin
Is there any place on earth better to sip Berliner Weise (beer with woodruff or raspberry juice) than in its city of origin? Berlin boasts more then 20 beer gardens where you can enjoy this local favorite – along with hundreds of other frothy ales. Though the city is a haven for beer lovers all year round, August in particular stands out, when the first week of the month is devoted to Bierfestival, and the city center turns into a 1.2 mile-long beer garden hosting 240 breweries from 80 countries, representing 1,750 different brands of beer.

3. Brugge
Slightly smaller than the Belgian capital of Brussels, Brugge (also known as Bruges) is renowned for its fine lace, Godiva chocolate – and beer. Indeed, this tiny city is, amazingly enough, a prime place to sample over 450 unique varieties of Belgian brew, each served in its own specialized glass. You’ll find a preserved pub, Café Vlissinghe, that dates back to 1515, breweries that still use antiquated brewing techniques, and even museums, like De Gouden Boom Brewery Museum, where beer has been produced since 1455.

4. Burlington
Set between two beer-bustling locales – Montreal to the north, and Boston to the southeast – Burlington, Vermont is a university town with one of the best brew cultures in New England. Home to the quirky micro-brewery Magic Hat, visitors can do as the locals do and sample homegrown brews such as #9, Fat Angel, and Blind Faith IPA to name a few. Church Street, a four-block pedestrian-only zone buzzes with vibrant bars with top-notch beer on tap, including Vermont brewed Otter Creek and the Long Trail beer collection, whose specialty beers change seasonally.

5. Dublin
No beer list of any kind would be complete without a nod to the Irish and its capital city of Dublin, where pub culture thrives and the favorite local pastime is imbibing in age-old taverns where luminaries like James Joyce perhaps once did. Dubliners and visitors alike can’t resist the smooth creamy flavor and dark body of Guinness, the city’s finest, home-brewed stout. The Guinness Storehouse, where visitors can watch the brewing process and learn to pour themselves the perfect pint, and The Porterhouse, Dublin’s first brew pub and a must on any pub crawl, are two of the city’s top draws.

Theme Parties: The Best of the Best

Throughout your college career you will attend hundreds of parties, some lame, and some ridiculously fun. You probably have been seen at least half of these parties, and if not, why not throw one yourself?

The first one that is popular among the guys is called a Red Light Green Light Party (also known as a traffic light party and Stop and Go party). These parties are known for its red, green, and yellow shirts that people who attend the party wear. Each color shirt symbolizes a different thing. First, is the red shirt, this means NO GO! When people have red on, they do not want to hook up with anyone and are strictly there to have some fun. Yellow, means that they need to meet the right person in order "fool around". Finally, the green t-shirt means that everything is a GO!


Now a days you can't walk into a dorm and not expect to see a blacklight dangling from the ceiling by the duct tape that their mom bought them. Blacklight Parties are known for their white shirts and florescent markers. Beware of these parties if you don't want to wake up with a million doodles on your face in highlighter. Although these parties are very fun, if raving isn't your thing, you might want to reconsider the Beer Pong contest down the street.





Golf Pros and Tennis Hoes is one of many parties that pretty much have the same theme; have all the guys were there best button-up and all the girls dress slutty. This is the party you want to attend if you just can't wait for National Dress Like a Slut Day (aka Halloween).





The Graffiti Party (aka Marker Party) is a party that you go to with a white shirt and marker in hand. When you leave you will have profanity written all over you and a t-shirt that will be a nice addition to your dorm room wall. Don't expect to go to class on Monday unless you feel like bathing in bleach for the next few days.




Finally, the infamous Toga Party. You have not fully experienced college until you have gone to one of these crazy, nothing but a sheet on parties. This shindig was made famous (and a college tradition) by the movie Animal House. From then on, people have been wearing their bed sheets to parties every weekend all around the nation.

Beer Review: Harvest Moon

Well it’s fall. That’s right, midterms are kicking you in the ass, the World Series is just around the corner, and its not too long before you will be attending a costume party dressed as Duff man or a slutty librarian /teacher /botanist /hooker /receptionist /cop (and there are no complaints from all of us at askacollegekid.com!!!!). But lets be honest, we all need to take a little break and relax, especially in this stressful time of the year. When you get a chance, buy some Harvest Moon by the brewers of Blue Moon. This seasonal beer has a hint of pumpkin that will not leave your taste buds disappointed. Harvest Moon is sold during the fall months at any liquor store. Most pumpkin beers that I have tried have a little bit too much pumpkin, but these master brewers have nailed it. The smooth ale finishes nicely without an explosion of pumpkin in your mouth, but still enough to know its there. When you get a chance or when you need a break, pick up a six-pack of Harvest Moon and enjoy.

Drink Responsibly.

How to Throw the Perfect Kegger

College Kids,

What Do I need to throw the perfect kegger?

Ricky
21 Years
Old Sugarfield, CA

Ricky,

This is what you need:

• A Keg - Thank you captain obvious.
  
• A Cool Place for the Keg - We would recommend you put it in a bin/tub of ice.
• Cups - This is also obvious, but must be handled delicately; especially if you are charging at the door. If you are charging, someone trustworthy (preferably YOU) needs to hold on to the cups and give them to people when they pay.
• A Good Location - Make sure that your house/apartment is in a good location for a kegger. If your neighbors are not the nicest people in the world you may want to find a new spot.
• Good Music - Whether it is a band, DJ, or just an ipod, music is key. Make sure you have that situation set up well ahead of time. Also, depending on the type of party you want, you may want to get some dance lights.
  
• Drinking Games - While these are not mandatory, they are definitely recommended. Drinking games are fun and will make the night much more interesting. For popular games and rules go here.
• Good People - Although keggers are in many ways about quantity they are still about quality. Invite people that are going to be fun and respect your property.
  
• Know Your Laws - Different states have different laws on kegs. Whoever is buying the keg should know what their rights are if they were ever to get caught serving minors(not that were encouraging it). Some states are very strict so be careful!

We hope this helped.

Cheers!

How to Make a Beer Holder for the Shower

It's somewhat of a tradition here in our house to shower with a beer (separately) before we head out to party on the weekend. After doing it for quite sometime we got sick of having to drink the water that would find its way into our beer (because we had no place to put it but the ground). To fix this problem our good friend Greg came up with a genius way to have a beer holder for the shower.




What you need:

1 - Cup holder (found at any car parts store)
1- Suction Cup (found at local hardware store)


Break or cut the hanging piece of the cup holder










Attach the suction cup to the back of the holder














Hang it up, and have a beer!



















Cheers,

Going to Bars for Dummies

Okay, nobody thinks you're a dummy. However, I've noticed that a lot of times when a person first becomes old enough to go to bars (or manages to get in anyway), there are certain things that they haven't learned yet. Here are a few helpful tips to make sure your first bar experience goes off without a hitch.

1) Know how to order drinks. This is especially important in a crowded bar. When there are tons of people packed around the bar, you're not getting drinks unless you're assertive. Make your way up to the bar, put your arm down on it, and lean forward so the bartender can see you. Make sure you know what you're ordering beforehand (if you don't have much drinking experience, you can look up all kinds of drink recipes online, at sites such as http://www.webtender.com/), bartenders don't like to waste time when they could be racking up tips. Say your order in a loud, clear voice. In really noisy bars you'll probably have to lean in close to the bartender and shout.

2) Once you've ordered and the bartender has made your drink, you have to pay for it. Be sure not to give exact change, the bartender will be expecting a tip. If you don't tip, the bartender (or waitress if you're at a table) will not be as inclined to serve you. It's also just a really lame thing to do, and makes you look like an awful person. Generally the bartender will make sure to give you change in a way that makes it easy for you to tip (say you give $10 for $5 worth of drinks, they'll give you singles/dollar coins instead of a $5 bill for change). Generally the going rate for tipping is $1 per drink, you might want to see what other people seem to be tipping to make sure you're not tipping too much/too little.

3) Once you have your drink, be sure to hold on to it until you're done (especially if you're a girl). Never leave a drink unattended and then go back to it. You can never be too careful.

4) Now, when you're in a room packed with people holding drinks, chances are eventually you'll bump into somebody, spill a drink, etc. Most people are pretty easy going, and if you simply apologize you shouldn't have any trouble. If you've spilled somebody else's drink it's probably a good idea to offer to buy them a new one.

5) If somebody you're with buys you a drink, it's customary to return the favor.

6) Be careful not to drink too much. Obviously you're there to have a good time, but you absolutely do not want to be "that guy who puked all over and got thrown out". Know your limits, and don't try to be a hero ;).

7) Before you go out, make sure you and the people you're going with have a plan for getting home. Designated drivers are a great idea if you can get a friend/family member to do it. Otherwise, be sure to bring enough cash for a taxi. If somebody who lives relatively close to the bar(s) you're going to is cool with it, it might be a good idea to have everyone sleep there for the night so you can all split on a cab and save some money. In this case, it's a good idea to have everyone park their cars there and head to the bar in a taxi, come back in one, and have everyone leave with their cars in the morning.

Well, I think that about covers it. If anybody has any further suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments. Be safe, and have a great time!

How To Cure A Hangover

Sleep. Rest is your best friend at this point to give your body a recover. It is best to stay in bed so call in to work if you have to, tell them you have the stomach flu. You will sound so horrible on the phone they may believe you (unless they saw you at the bar, not a good idea then).

1. Replenish your body with fruit juice and water.
2. Avoid caffeine. A weak cup of coffee may be okay but a lot of caffeine will continue to dehydrate you, the opposite of what you want right now.
3. Drink orange juice for Vitamin C.
4. Drink a sports drink like Gatorade or Powerade.
5. Eat mineral rich food like pickles or canned fish.
6. In Poland, drinking pickle juice is a common remedy.
7. Drink a Bloody Mary. While the popular phrase “hair of the dog that bit you” may sound logical with a shot of whiskey left in the bottle next to your bed, it’s only temporary. Try a Bloody Mary instead, while your blood is dealing with the new alcohol it is ignoring the old and in the mean time tomato juice and celery are full of vitamins. If you drank the last of the vodka make Virgin Mary.
   
8. Take a shower, switching between cold and hot water.

How to Know if You're Having Too Much Fun at College

If some of these sound familiar, you might want to chill out a bit...

Your school nurse suggests you get an STD test ASAP.


Your on your third cellphone because you keep losing them.



You check your phone because you have a text message and you realize you called your old boss at 3AM last night.


You wake up and go to take a drink of that bottled water and you have to spit it out because it's vodka.


You skip class because you feel beating your friend in Wii bowling is more important.


The only homework you're actually doing is extra credit to make up for everything you've missed.

The only notes your taking in class is what you want to get at the liqueur store that night.

You have to have your friends sneak you into the school cafeteria because you lost your food card.

Facebook is the first and last website you check during the day.
