Bored of being alone at home or at a bar? Feeling alone with no one to enjoy with? Most of the time you drink beer, you are all by yourself. Don’t you wish somebody was there beside you to talk to and to toast with beer glasses? Wishing somebody to be there? This article is all about your beer buddy and how they are important to you.
A beer buddy is a very special and important friend that you regularly drink beer with, whether in a bar glassware or in a large beer boot. Whenever there are times you lack money, your beer buddy is there for you to buy you a glass of beer and sometimes, you will also do the same for your beer buddy.
This beer buddy relationship of yours is stronger than love. Why? Your beer buddy would help you in the moments when you become drunk. Here are some of the things a beer buddy can do:
Take you home when you’re drunk
A beer buddy never lies. He or she talks about everything out of the blue and both of you still manage to laugh about it.
Introduces you to a bunch of girls or boys
Pays the bill for you (Not all the time)
Helps you in times of chaos, like fighting scenes
Remembers every moment you being drunk
Opens a bottle of beer for you
Loves the worst part of you – being drunk
Comforts of you in times of vomiting
A beer buddy does not necessarily limit to humans but it could also refer to animals as well. Is it harmful for animals to drink beer? It won't really harm your pet but just like anyone, it can also get alcohol poisoning from excessive consumption of beer.
Did you know that dogs can turn into an alcoholic faster than humans? Yes, they will get drunk, and they may even love it, but without any hope of getting laid. Alcohol can affect an animal a lot faster because of its faster metabolism. Dogs can be harshly affected by alcohol.
So the next time you drink beer with your beer buddy, don’t forget to thank him or her for everything your beer buddy has done to you despite all the sufferings your beer buddy encountered when you’re drunk. Enjoy a beer with your best beer buddy and remember to drink moderately.
Imagine this… you just arrive home from work, you went straight to your haven called “fridge” where you store your stress reliever named “beer”. You took one of your ice cold “stress reliever” and your favorite boot from your cupboard, then voila, you realized you have no bottle opener. Stress level is rising! You tried to look for it but you couldn’t find it anywhere. A friend must have borrowed it and forgot to return. Or maybe… or maybe! Let’s cut to the chase – you don’t have a bottle opener on hand, period! Now, your beer is getting warm, what are you going to do? Stress not mates for here are our top 10 ways to help you open your beer without your bottle opener.
1. With Another Beer Bottle
Materials Needed:
2 Beer Bottles
Steps:
a. Put one bottle cap underneath the other one. Take Note: Make sure you are not putting the bottle cap under the glass of rim, the glass could break.
b. Once the bottle is secure underneath the cap, hold on with one hand.
c. Take the front bottle, and then slam it hard on a hard surface. It will immediately stop, the back bottle won’t. The energy is going to force the cap right up, opening up the bottle of beer.

6. With Your Teeth (Make sure it’s not false teeth, or else!)
Just make sure you have a strong set of teeth. You can chip a tooth.
Hook the bottle cap on your bottom teeth, your top teeth will be the fulcrum. Basically, you’re just biting the cap. Apply pressure to the top. The bottle will be the lever and the pulling action. Cap is going to come off. Teeth intact!
Here is a video on how to do it.
7. Spatula
Another technique of opening up a beer bottle is by using a cooking utensil, a spatula. It’s easy but you need to practice a lot first before you can master it. You might not only take the cap off but also the glass rim. That will be very dangerous.
Materials Needed:
A spatula
A bottle of Beer
Steps:
8. With Tits
Obviously, all you need in this technique are tits and a bottle of beer. There is actually no clear or step by step instruction on this one but it sure is pretty amazing. Watch the video, you’ll see why.
Be warned, there is no nudity in this video.
9. With a Ring
Who would’ve thought that you can actually use your wedding ring (or any kind of ring and use it as a bottle opener)? This technique is just one of the many advantages of being married, trust me!
Materials Needed:
A Wedding Ring
A Bottle of Beer
Steps:
a. Take your hand where your ring is placed.
b. Hold your bottle tight on your other hand.
c. Make sure the edge of the ring fits perfectly right underneath the cap. Make sure you’re not placing your ring right under the glass rim.
d. Grip the bottle tight. Your ring finger will act as the fulcrum, your arm will be the lever.
e. Then pull the cap right off.
Here is a video on how to do it.
10. Using Your Countertop
Materials Needed:
Countertop or any flat surface (should be corner-edged not the rounded one)
A Bottle of Beer
Steps:
Hold your beer. Take the corner edge of your countertop and shove it underneath the cap. Once you have the cap on the edge, take your hand, smack the cap. The countertop will hold the cap in place, while your smack will knock the bottle down, separating the two.
There are quite a few guides out there on how to say cheers in many languages; however, many of them are incomplete and don't list the more common phrases. If you haven't been to the foreign country yourself, you may be looked at a little funny, because most of the traditional words for "Cheers" are often substituted for more hip and colloquial words. We've come up with what we think is one of the best guides out there for saying cheers in other languages. So here's a toast to your foreign friends.

Source: (CNN)-- It was a dark, windy and rainy night when Per Johansson returned from work to his home in Saro just south of Gothenburg, Sweden.
"It was raining really bad. In the wind I heard something screaming with a very dark voice," Johansson told CNN. "At first I wondered if it was the crazy neighbors, but then I heard it again and went and checked. I saw something really big up in a tree in my neighbors' yard and it was a moose. It must have been drunk after eating fermented apples and as it was reaching out for more fruit it must have slipped and fallen into the tree."
Johansson called the local fire and rescue department, which responded with a fire engine and a jeep with a winch.
"We got the alarm at 9.59 p.m. on September 6 that a moose was stuck in a tree," said Anders Gardhagen, spokesman at the Gothenburg Fire and Rescue Services.
"When we arrived we used the winch to bend down the apple tree so the moose could get himself out of the tree. Once free, the moose collapsed on the ground and fell asleep. So we let him sleep it off and went back home" Gardhagen told CNN.
"Moose are attracted by the apple trees, and in the autumn when the apples have fallen off the trees we normally have at least one of these cases of intoxication. These apples, which ferment in their bellies, aren't part of their natural food, so they can get quite angry from this drunkenness," Gardhagen said.
Johansson's son, Gustav, who is about to turn 11, made sure to take lots of pictures of the ordeal.
"He is saving up to buy a PlayStation so he thought he would take pictures that he could sell," Johansson said.
When dawn came the day after it was freed from the tree, the moose had not yet left.
"When I went out for the newspaper it was still laying there on the ground, sleeping. By the time I left for work it was walking around the neighbor's yard on very shaky legs." Johansson said.
"Today the moose came back and walked around the yard," he added. "I think it likes it here."
“I will never drink ever again!” That’s what I told my husband after a long night of partying and drinking. Actually, it was just the hangover talking. I did drink again and, yes, I had a hangover again the next day. The experience of having a hangover is just awful. Waking up searching for the coldest water in the fridge and drinking it like you haven’t drank water for forever is torture. On top of that there’s the excruciating headache, red eyes, puking, nausea, and the list goes on.
There are a lot of hangover remedies but mostly they only ease a few of the symptoms. Remember that unless the alcohol is out of your system, the hangover won’t stop. Here are few things that will help you with your hangover problems:
1. Bananas
The large part that causes hangover is due to lack of potassium in your bloodstream. Every time we drink any alcoholic beverages, potassium begins to deplete. Bananas are a good source for potassium so they help in replenishing whatever potassium that you lose. Also, bananas can you help you ease being nauseous because they are also a natural antacid. Plus, bananas can also help you ease your headache since they are high in magnesium. They help in relaxing those throbbing blood vessels that causes that hangover headache.
2. Sex
Shocked? Yes, hangover sex is a great hangover remedy, that is, if you can get some. If you can’t then we still have a lot of other effective remedies that you can choose from. So how does sex help? Of course, you’ll sweat like crazy! Sweating is good because it will help all of the alcohol that you have taken to come out of your body.
3. Pedialyte or Gatorade
Pedialyte is designed to replace fluids and minerals that are lost in our body and same goes with Gatorade. They will help you rehydrate and get back on track.
4. Hot Bath or Shower
Taking a hot bath will certainly help you sweat out the alcohol in your body. You may feel a little hazy at first but don’t worry you will feel much better afterwards.
5. Bloody Mary
A lot have sworn that Bloody Mary can really cure hangover. What’s in a Bloody Mary anyways? Well, one of the main ingredients is tomato juice. Tomato juice contains fructose that helps your body metabolize alcohol faster. But, don’t drink too much BM or else you’ll end up getting drunk again.
6. Fruit juice
Orange or pineapple juice or any fruit juice will do since it will help breakdown the alcohol content in your body. Make sure to avoid drinking fruit juices with empty stomach as they may be acidic.
7. Black coffee
It is not advisable to drink coffee and any other caffeinated beverages when you have a hangover since they can cause further dehydration, however, they can still help ease the nausea. Instead of adding sugar to your coffee try it with honey. The fructose in the honey is absorbed quicker than the sucrose in sugar.
8. Food
Eating also relieves us from a hangover. Try eating starchy foods such as rice, grains and cereals but do avoid eating greasy or oily food, you might upset your stomach.
I know that there are times when we have a severe hangover we don’t really feel like eating, but food is good because it speeds up your metabolism which in turn, metabolizes the alcohol faster. So the faster the alcohol will be expelled from your body the faster you will recover.
9. Pain Relievers
Pain killers or relievers such as Aspirin and Ibuprofen may help you with your headache and some muscle pain but it does nothing with the alcohol level that is in your system.
10. Miso Soup with Eggs
If your stomach can’t handle eating solid food, you can try Miso soup. It’s known as the best hangover soup. Miso soup replenishes some of the nutrients that you lost while you were drinking. It is also loaded with probiotics, so if you’re experiencing tummy problems it may even help you feel better.
If any of these hangover remedies doesn’t make you feel better, stick with the basic! Just drink tons of H2O before you go to sleep and in the morning. So, if you filled that huge beer boot up with tons of beer the night before, you should do the same before hitting the sack (but not with beer in it of course but with water!).
