Top 10 Booze Hound Gifts
Published on December 14, 2007 - 38 Comments
Following yesterday’s list on Christmas shopping ideas, here is a list for that hard to buy for drinker. You know these people and you might even be one yourself: people that can throw back a few - or a lot! What do you get for these hard to buy for types? Well here are a few ideas for you.
10. The Drink and Drive game $79
Take a small remote controlled car, a few obstacle cones, a shot glass and your favorite libation, what do you get? Lot’s of fun, that’s what! The object is to fill the shot glass with booze, place it on top of the car - there is a tray there to help steady it, setup your course and drive it without spilling. If you spill - you drink, if not - your opponents drink. This new gadget from Edwin is sure to please the drinker that just loves to get behind the wheel after pounding a few back.
9. The Gamerator $3,100 eBay auction
Picture it now: a 24″ flat screen, 187 arcade games and … cold beer! All without getting up! Who has a place for this in their home you ask? … who doesn’t have a place for this in their home is what I say! Sign me up for 2 at least.
8. Bedside Booze Drip £14.99
One quote comes to mind after seeing this product: “Just hook it to my veins!” Barney after winning a lifetime supply of Duff beer. — Enough said. [Edit from JFrater: if anyone was wondering what to get me for Christmas….]
7. The Bevy $14.95
Who doesn’t own a set of keys? Who doesn’t own an iPod? [Edit from JFrater: hopefully the person who wins the Christmas Competition - entries close tomorrow!] Who doesn’t drink beer? While these are insightful questions, the issue here is how do I get one of these babies? It’s a cover for your iPod shuffle, it’s a key ring, it’s an ear phone cord manager AND it’s a bottle opener. The only drawback is that in order to use it as a bottle opener, you have to remove your iPod. OK, that’s a big drawback, but still a pretty nifty gift idea. Ok, these next two items are from the same company: Brew innovations, LLC., and boy are they great ideas!
6. 3 Port Stainless Steel Octopus Tap with Bronco Pump $88.94
I know what you are thinking…What’s with the .94 cents? I don’t know either, but it’s got me so worked up that I’m waiting for a reply from Brew Innovations in response to my scathing letter. (Possibly a bit harsh, now that I stop to actually think about it.)
Anyway, this party pleaser is a keg tap designed to pour not just the standard one beer at a time, but 4 beers at a time! They state that this will increase beer flow up to 300%. Perfect for those of us that need to get thru that keg faster in order to crack open the next one!
5. The Beerbelly Retail Box $34.99
This idea of the century will make your favorite drinker happier than $1 pitcher night at the local bowling alley. It’s a portable, insulated ‘hydration system’. It hides under your shirt and can be filled with your favorite hooch or other beverage. Perfect for sneaking booze into your favorite concert, movie or children’s school activity.
4. The Winerack from Thrillist no price listed yet
To even up the score a bit, here is the ladies beerbelly version. Why? Why not, not all booze hounds are men! Ladies, turn your A cups into double-D’s for your drinking pleasure! or your D’s to whatever comes next, I guess. I just can’t see how this is a bad choice of gift. This is the fun for the whole family gift!
3. The Beer Launching Fridge
As seen on the Late Show with David Letterman! I’m sure if you contacted John Cornwell, he’d sell you one, but as far as I know, these are not available in the stores…yet. Not much else to tell you, the name and picture pretty much tells the whole story. It’s a fridge that launches beer at you when you need another one. Perfect for the lazy booze hound in your life.
2. Beer Holster $17.99-24.99
Now the cowboy drinker can breathe a sigh of relief when they open this next gift from you. Now they can be cool and holster that beer at their next outlaw get together. After that 5th beer when things are starting to get nice and crazy, you can whip out your best Clint Eastwood impression and be able to pull off that perfect beer gun trick.
1. Beer Belt $19.99
If the beer holster wasn’t brilliant enough, here’s the beer belt. Perfect for the drinker who loves to pound back beer after beer so fast that the beer never has a chance to get warm. Let’s face it, you know you want to be this guy at the next neighborhood block party!

Number 9 is brilliant!
$88 seems a lot for 1 keg…
2. jfrater - December 14th, 2007 at 4:26 am
dangorironhide: it is a lot but you get the octopus taps!
3. dangorironhide - December 14th, 2007 at 4:33 am
Maybe it’s just me but it seems easier just to wait for your chance…
More than one hose means it’d empty quicker, which means you’d have to buy more of them to keep everyone happy & boozed up
4. jfrater - December 14th, 2007 at 4:40 am
And the disadvantage to buying lots more booze is?
5. dangorironhide - December 14th, 2007 at 4:44 am
haha, I would agree with you, but not everyone has the moolah to keep stocked up to that extent!
6. jfrater - December 14th, 2007 at 5:03 am
Well true - I didn’t think about that
7. Ravyn - December 14th, 2007 at 6:32 am
Beer? Someone say Beer? mmmmmmm Beer! I love these. #9 would fit nicely in my game room (the one we plan on having when we move.) The most popular activity at our New Years party for sure.
8. LordCalvert - December 14th, 2007 at 6:33 am
good lord, if i had a gamerator i’d never leave the house
9. jfrater - December 14th, 2007 at 6:39 am
Wow - at this rate this list will end up with the company selling out of gamerators!
10. dangorironhide - December 14th, 2007 at 6:46 am
At $3100? I think not J!
11. DanOhh - December 14th, 2007 at 6:47 am
The best gifts to give a college student… a quarter, a cup and a case of their favorite. mmmmmmmmmmmmm Beer (gurgle) zzzzzzzzzzzz.
12. heavybison - December 14th, 2007 at 6:59 am
Howz abt a gamerator fitted with beer holsters, flight style adjustable bed, endless supply of smokes n beer nuts…and not to forget a net connection so that i can checkout listverse once in a while.I could just lay there and die in peace..
13. heavybison - December 14th, 2007 at 7:02 am
and a big busty blonde who comes in to check if things are ok..once in a while..
14. jfrater - December 14th, 2007 at 7:09 am
come on guys - if you all chip in a little you can buy one for me!
15. dangorironhide - December 14th, 2007 at 7:29 am
Keep dreaming J haha
16. Sam Manella - December 14th, 2007 at 7:32 am
Tweak the blueprint just a little, and the Gamerator could have it’s own urinal.
17. heavybison - December 14th, 2007 at 7:39 am
urinal eh? isn’t that a bit too close for comfort!!
18. Sam Manella - December 14th, 2007 at 7:39 am
Depends on the video game.
19. DiscHuker - December 14th, 2007 at 7:41 am
i have actually bought one of these as a gift. although, his issue was that he constantly had to stop on road trips to go to the bathroom, but the application to the local lush is quite apparent.

make sure you scroll down to see the image.
there is a ladies one also, that seems a little more questionable though.
20. Sam Manella - December 14th, 2007 at 7:48 am
You could reverse that for a portable beer solution (being very careful not to mix the two). But then the Gamerator wouldn’t be special.
21. jfrater - December 14th, 2007 at 7:55 am
okay wow - I can’t believe they have external male catheters just for lazy people!
22. DiscHuker - December 14th, 2007 at 8:00 am
read some of the “testimonials”. pretty funny stuff. some guys just use it so they don’t have to get off the couch. yuk.
23. DiscHuker - December 14th, 2007 at 8:08 am
here is a funny essay recited on the Letterman show concerning the stadium pal.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBdymtyXt8Y
i was hoping to find a demonstration video, but i have come up empty as of yet.
24. jfrater - December 14th, 2007 at 8:08 am
That is just incredibly lazy! What is so important on TV that you can’t get up?
25. jfrater - December 14th, 2007 at 8:19 am
DiscHuker: haha that is hilarious. I have never heard of that guy but he is quite the wit!
26. Juggz - December 14th, 2007 at 8:46 am
This list is full of win.
27. deep - December 14th, 2007 at 1:42 pm
haha classic, great stuff!
28. InfiniteJorge - December 14th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
where is the breathalyser?
29. Brian Moo - December 14th, 2007 at 8:52 pm
Needs a slurpy hat.
30. Harsha - December 15th, 2007 at 7:36 am
I want #9 but it should come with a XBOX360 and a PS3 and a urinal!!
$3100 is too much for old arcade games!
31. CrimsonChrissi - December 15th, 2007 at 5:12 pm
Shoot I’m sitting here taking down notes!! Excellent list!! I’m showing the hubster the wine rack for sure! Can women have beer bellies too?
32. Kelsi - December 15th, 2007 at 6:40 pm
Hahaha, I love number 10!
33. fivestring63 - December 15th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
Hey, I saw one the other day at Wal-Mart that needs to be on here. It was a checker game where the checkers are shot glasses.
34. Vera Lynn - June 20th, 2008 at 6:57 am
Oh how funny! “Good Lord, if I had a gamerator I’d never leave the house” I laughed for 10 minutes.
David Sadaris, I believe, wrote a series of books describing terrible abuses from the hand of his mother. The first one “A Child Called IT” broke my heart so much. The mother should’ve been eligible for the death penalty. I’d have put the needle in her arm myself. Check it out.
35. rushfan - June 20th, 2008 at 7:01 am
His name is David Pelzer. That book broke my heart.
36. Vera Lynn - June 25th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
I’m with you Jfrater.I want a bedside booze drip also. I don’t like needles, but will suffer for my Art
37. Annunnakike - July 14th, 2008 at 7:18 am
OMG!! Give me one of each, please. Better yet, make that two! Oh, and #5 is definitely a HOT pack lol. Great list!
