It’s back-to-school time, and you know what that means–awesome parties, hot chicks and lots and lots of beer. Sure, college is supposed to be about studying and bettering yourself. But that’s only half of it. To prepare you for the forgotten drunken wonderful nights you’re about to endure, we’ve put together the quintessential compilation of the one thing that’s best about the college experience–Beer Bong Babes.
If you know anything about the mischievous “Green Fairy,” you know “real” absinthe was banned in the U.S. for nearly a century because of the hallucinogenic ingredients in worm wood, from which absinthe is partially made. But unless you’ve been paying close attention to ordinances passed at The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), you might have missed some of the newly legalized “true absinthe” on the State-side market.
After studies found that the quantity of thujone (the mind-altering substance in wormwood) too minuscule to cause any of its infamous effects, the TTB allowed absinthe to be sold in the U.S., with restrictions on the amount of thujone a stipulation. So for the first time since 1915, let me present to you Pernod, a “real” absinthe.
Neon green, extremely high in alcohol content and flavored like black licorice, absinthe requires a tempered tongue to enjoy properly. I learned of absinthe long before trying it for the first time, which I did in what could have been Jesus’s bedroom–a stone, candle-lit, cave of a bar in Jerusalem, Israel.
All I knew was that it f**ked you up, and some of the greatest artists of all time - Van Gogh, Picasso, Hemmingway (to name a few) - all are known absinthe drinkers, and have recorded experiences with the beverage in their work.
I’d been lucky enough to have the press trip to this tumultuous land pawned off on me by my boss, who’d just had a baby and was afraid of going to a “war zone.” But instead of suicide bombings, I found myself awash in great food, wonderful company and better booze.
Despite a travel itinerary fit for the Special Forces, some of the other 12 or 13 journalists and I found the energy to drink until dawn every morning. So with only a single night in the most disputed city on Earth, we ventured out to discover Jerusalem’s bar scene, and found ourselves at the first, dark joint we came to in this strange, haunted city.
With glasses of wine from dinner and a beer or two sloshing in my stomach, I stumbled behind a few of my fellow compatriots on the way to the bar, blathering away beside a newspaperman from the Jerusalem Post, who was covering our trip, for some reason. The quote he used wasn’t bad, compared to some of the sh*t I drunkenly mumbled into his microphone. Read More »
Ever go to an event (like church) that seems like it would be bearable if only you could get totally F’ing plastered? Well now you can, with this clever cell phone flask, available for 14 bucks on Amazon.com.
The best part is not only its ability to allow you to drink anytime you please, if someone catches you liquoring-up (out of your phone, no less), they’ll be so impressed with your ingenuity, they won’t even mind!
Sneaking booze isn’t the healthiest activity you could get into, but it’s definitely better than not sneaking booze, let’s just put it that way.
[Props to Best Week Ever for this nugget.]
Hi and welcome to the dead zone of summer. After partying it up on the fourth, the festiveness dies down and your party schedule is wiiiiide open. There are, of course, the random parties and local events to keep you entertained, but for the most part the excitement is dead and the big stuff is over.

Nothing will lighten up your weekend this summer like some free beer tourism!
Along with some of the freshest complementary beer one can taste, you will tour the grounds and learn the beer making process from the brew master.
Wine tours have been the traditional powerhouse in alcoholic tourism, but it is now the “craft beer makers, who brew traditionally and produce less than 2 million barrels a year, are attracting a growing audience.”
“There are 1,450 and 3,000 breweries in the U.S. and Europe, respectively, and most of them are craft brewers or brewpubs happy to open their doors to the public to share their love of beer.”
Forbes has compiled a slide show of America’s Top Breweries that includes some of my personal favorites - Dogfish Head, Arrogant Bastard, Rogue Ale and Brooklyn Brewery.
If you are interested in taking a tour check out their websites for tour times and contact information.

Which starting pitchers, currently in the majors or recently retired, are shoe-ins for induction into the baseball Hall of Fame?
It’s a debate myself and my friends had over a few beers last night that quickly got heated. Everyone has loyalty to their hometown teams. Being from Boston I lobbied hard for Curt Schilling while the Jersey crew was pushing for Andy Pettitte.
So to settle this thing once and for all, we decided to analyze the stats to give you a definitive list of starting pitchers who are of Hall of Fame caliber, listed from most deserving on top to least deserving.

Ah, summer–a time to enjoy the outdoors, soak in some sun, check out chicks and drink till you can’t even find your car keys, let alone use them. (That’s what we call responsible.) Trouble is, sex on the beach and tequila sunrises sound summery, but any dude who drinks them should be beaten with a bar stool.
So to avoid any incidental injury this summer, stick to COED’s refreshing list of 9 Essential Summer Dude Drinks. If there’s even a splash of pink in these cocktails, you can kick our asses.
