We love beer as much as the next lush, but some people take their passion for the nectar of the Gods to a whole ‘nother level. Some may call them conossiuers, others might call them snobs. Either way, a simple coozie, hat, keychain, or t-shirt with their favorite beer logo on it ain’t gonna cut it, broham. So, if your bud’s finicky about his Bud, we’ve got a list of seven essential items that’ll drown his sorrows. Check out which boozy products made the cut after the jump.

If you’re anything like us, you’re either too busy or too lazy to go holiday shopping. You slept through Black Friday and you looked at porn on Cyber Monday (thanks for the patronage, btw!).

They’re giving it away. You spend $0 and look like a champ. Find out how to enter after the jump.

If you’re a little nervous or unsure of what to get that special slampig in your life, you can always fall back on getting her some sexy lingerie. By getting her sexy lingerie, I mean buying some ribbon and asking her to wear it. If she starts flapping her gums about “I bought you blah blah,” remind her that it’s the thought that counts. Straight from the heart, here’s an early Holiday present for you all you guys out there. You’re probably going to want to keep the tissue that these girls were wrapped in.

The two things we can count on to bring people together are holidays and sports. Everyone likes a day off from work and when you couple that with a sporting event, you’re staring down at a pair of aces. For some families, watching sports can be a bonding experience while others use it as a diversion or escape from family issues. And, if you don’t have a fam, these sports will keep you company. Tri-State Sports Guys’ Mike D has 5 great marriages of holidays and sports – check ‘em out after the jump.

Don’t worry you’ve still got time. I’d say around 4 weeks. That’s when “cuffing season” begins. What’s cuffing season? It’s when you “hole up” for the winter; when you’re more likely to end up locked / knocked up than hooking up. Halloween’s your last (and best) chance to have the hook up of the year. So, get your True Blood inspired costumes on and covered in (probably) fake blood for my top 5 reasons why Halloween is the easiest holiday to hook up.

Besides Christmas (0r Chanukah for ‘chosen’ of you out there), Halloween is easily the second best holiday: everyone loves it. Girls love it because it gives them the opportunity to wear their sluttiest attire and guys love it because of the first part of what I just wrote. The ladies just slap on a bra and panties and call themselves a naughty “fill-in-the-blank.” It’s like having your girl dress up for you, only this time it’s not your girlfriend doing it (a plus) and the not-your-girlfriends are all over the place (a total plus). To get you warm and excited for what’s to come, we’ve pulled together a great gallery to show you just how far ladies are willing to go. Check it out after the jump!
