It’s the season (at least here in the Northern Hemisphere) for drinking under birches, drinking at beaches, drinking on benches, drinking on bleachers, drinking on roofs one has gained access to semi-legally and drinking on stoops of buildings one has never been into. With all the running around we tend to forget bottle-openers at least [...]

Today is Iced Tea Day, and though it doesn’t quite feel all that summery in New York, we’re told that warm, iced tea-meriting weather is right around the corner. To get ourselves pumped for those sun-splashed rivers of iced tea, we’ve rounded up some of the mildly caffeinated, often-too-sweet beverage’s best ads. Not surprisingly, advertisers [...]

With The Hangover coming out in North America tomorrow, the fairly mediocre bachelor party movie genre gets another entry at the low end of the spectrum. Not surprisingly, this has prompted list-makers to their movie archives, and though there’s major overlap between Future of Classic’s 10 Best Big-Screen Bachelor Parties and Clompex’s Top 5 Bachelor [...]

There might be something to this whole TV hang-out thing, aspiring television writers out there. After all, a central locale where our favorite characters always meet to talk and laugh gives us something familiar and comfortable to look forward to, and a socio-behavioral model to follow in our own friendships.

Want to know the true stories that gave the beers you (hopefully) avoid drinking like they’re tepid bathwater their names? We’re talking to you, $1 PBR-crushing hipsters and Bud-swilling football fans.

With St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow and Big Money Mondays today, we’re plotting the most extravagant cheap beer-guzzling we can possibly indulge. Beginning at 12:01 tonight, we’ll be bringing a series of the largest receptacles in our cupboard to our lips and draining them of liter upon liter of delicious hops. We realize steins are German, [...]

If the extreme measures our government is taking to keep the American banking system from collapsing are any indication, we do truly appear to be headed for Great Depression 2. Don’t get depressed, though, because as mental_floss reminds us, hardship has a way of generating some of the most inventive and resourceful ideas. So check [...]

Though it took us a long time to understand that citrus fruits are meant to be peeled – those were some dark years of intense Vitamin C deficiency – we’ve since found ourselves surrounded by discarded peels after many a clementine binge. What to do with all those pretty peels?
We tried breeding new hybrid species [...]

Friday night we were talking about our favorite cocktails and, when pressed on our like of dirty martinis, couldn’t explain what made them different from other martinis, nor what made other martinis different from dirty martinis. We suddenly realized that our alcohol history is sorely lacking, so went looking for a crash course guide to [...]

Since the big New Year’s Eve night is on a Wednesday this year, we figure the previous and following weekends should really extend into the week from either side to form an amorphous ten day-long blob of non-stop partying.
To keep us going throughout those marathon days and nights, Listicles has gone looking for some drink [...]
