With my day off today, I decided to enjoy the 80 degree weather and go out for a nice little round of golf. Of course, my golf bag was packed with beer to help me through 18 holes when my game goes to shit. But if I can have one drive as nice as this girl’s shot, it’s going to be a fantastic day!

Brewery Name and Location: Redhook Ale Brewery - Woodinville, WA
Name of Brew: Slim Chance
Style of Brew: Light (Lite) Ale
ABV: 3.8%

Earlier this year Redhook introduced their Slim Chance Light Ale, and have knocked it out of the park. The light or lite beer market is definitely a huge sector of beer sales, but when you have a smaller brewery enter the ring against the likes of Bud Light, Coors Light and Miller Lite, there’s a lot of competition. However, to compare Slim Chance with those beers isn’t really fair. First of all, you’re not going to find Slim Chance in cans and maybe the closest competitor would be Samuel Adams Light.

I consider Slim Chance the beer for the health conscious boozer. Someone who wants to go to a party, enjoy a good tasting beer, get slightly buzzed, but not consume a ridiculous amount of calories while doing so. Slim Chance is only 125 calories and 8.7 grams of carbs per 12 oz., but still possess a 3.8% ABV. The most important this about Slim Chance is the taste, especially compared to other light beers, and finds a nice medium between a traditional light beers and some of Redhook’s other brews.

Slim Chance should definitely be considered for this weekend’s 4th of July festivities. It’s a beer that everyone can love, and love all day/night long, without filling you up too much and getting you blackout wasted before the fireworks start going off. Happy 4th of July!

Texts From Last Night has become one of my favorite sites recently. I enjoy finding texts from the 206 and 425 area codes and guessing which of my friends could have sent the text. This one, for example, was an easy one to figure out. However, this one is pretty impressive:

(231): we both passed out while playing beer pong, woke up in the morning and continued to play coffee pong to cure our hangovers

I couldn’t imagine this. If I’m that hungover, I need to be somewhere laying down and there can’t be anything around me that reminds me of alcohol, especially the smell of warm beer in the morning.

Without fail, if a television reporter is setting up for a live shot, there are going to be people around who start gathering and try to get their mugs on camera. If you’re in Las Vegas, there’s a pretty good chance that the people getting all up in your live shot are going to be drunk. Even when the story is on Michael Jackson’s death, they still have no respect. I would love to see what happened when they cut away.

Nothing sparks backyard party/BBQ like someone attempting to chug a beer, then getting hit in the head with a pan and pushed to the ground. Now this guy is going to wake up in the morning with a headache for two reasons.

Another video with no context, except that it involves a drunk girl smacking her face on a dresser. Upon further investigation, I think she’s trying to dance or do some kind of cheerleading move. Unfortunately, she’s wearing slippers on a hardwood floor, and without any traction, ends up fighting a losing battle with the dresser.

Baseball fans in Seattle will soon have the opportunity to drown their sorrows with a lap dance after a Mariner’s loss. A judge recently approved Deja Vu’s application to open a strip club just 400 feet south of the main home-plate entrance to the Mariner’s home of Safeco Field. Unfortunately, due to Seattle liquor laws, there will be no alcohol served at the establishment, forcing patrons to get drunk before entering ($8 beers, anyone?).

If Richie Sexson was still on the Mariners I could definitely see him frequenting the strip club between innings. He couldn’t get his batting average up, but at least he could get something else up. Of course, both the City of Seattle and Seattle Mariners were opposed to the strip club so close to the stadium, as I’m sure this will soon become the favorite hangout spot for players post-game. Which means less business for Cowgirls, Inc., the closest thing to a brothel strip club in the vicinity. Foul balls is going to take on a whole new meaning!

These aren’t in any particular order but it’s easy to see with four entries in the list the W.C. Fields is by far the best boozer that has lived.

“Alcohol may be man’s worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.” –Frank Sinatra

“Back in my rummy days, I would tremble and shake for hours upon arising. It was the only exercise I got.” –W. C. Fields

“Here’s to alcohol: the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.” –Homer Simpson

“You’re not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.” –Dean Martin

“There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking.”–Benjamin Franklin

“I don’t care how liberated this world becomes - a man will always be judged by the amount of alcohol he can consume - and a woman will be impressed, whether she likes it or not.” –Doug Coughlin (Cocktail)

“I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.” –W. C. Fields

This is the perfect combination of a workout and drinking! Beer has plenty of carbs to keep this bar going all night long!

Golf and drinking beer go together like…well, just about everything else and beer, awesomely! In fact, when people are golfing, they usually rent a golf cart for the sole purpose of drinking. Who wants to carry around their golf bag stuffed with a six-pack case of beer anyways?

Well, after a round of golf and 10 beers, a man in Milwaukee was ditched at the course by some of his relatives. Forty miles from home and no ride, he decided to start the journey in the rented golf cart, of course, still full of the empties from the golf round. He didn’t get far. The police pulled the man over less than a mile from the golf course. The 47-year-old man blew a 0.138 blood-alcohol level and had this to say:

The man admitted that he had consumed around 10 beers while at the golf course, but that he did not believe he was intoxicated.

The suspect later told Meier that he did not know where he was at the time of the traffic stop and that “he did not even realize he was driving the golf cart on the road until he saw the squad with lights behind him,” the report says.

This guy must have really pissed everyone off with his drunk antics on the course to be left there. Although, I’m not sure it was worth the DUI. Maybe next time he’ll learn to just walk it off.

A beer truck carrying 40,000 pounds of beer crashed in Swanton, Vermont, last night. The accident closed the freeway for several hours as they cleaned up the accident scene. Luckily, when the truck flipped and went off the roadway, it came to rest in a swampy ditch next to the road. The Good: None of the beer escaped from the truck. The Bad: The truck had to be off-loaded before trying to remove it from the ditch.

I would imagine as people are off-loading 40,000 pounds of beer on a summer night, a couple cases of beer are likely to go missing. Although a couple cases of beer feels like a fair price for some good Samaritans to help out with the off-loading. It’s kind of like how you pay your friends for helping you move by getting them drunk.

These guys should be expecting a call from PETA soon.

This video confuses me. I’m not really sure what’s going on… Are they playing some extravagant game of beer pong? Like a trick-shot game? This guy pulls off a couple skateboarding tricks, then launches into his beer pong shot. I still liked the old man’s flying beer pong shot, but this one is pretty impressive too.

At a Phillies game last week, there was a bit of altercation in the stands after the home team blew it against the Toronto Blue Jays (who swept the series). This video has it all: Dudes fighting, chicks fighting and beer throwing. I don’t get the beer throwing. You have to be pretty drunk to get into a fight with your fellow fans at a baseball game, so you probably already reek of beer and a beer-shower won’t really bother you. Notice how the beer is thrown and there is no reaction whatsoever. And that beer probably cost you $7-$10, that is just wasteful. Classic Philadelphia fans though.
