Drinking Gadgets
We seem to be finding more and more gadgets related to beer and drinking. As drinking is an activity everybody at CG seems to enjoy we thought it was only sensible to have a drinking gadgets section.
Budweiser Buddy Cup helps you make new friends in a chill manner
Mention Budweiser, and chances are you would think of the world famous beer brand. Well, Budweiser has come up with something that is interesting enough, so much so it might actually spur you on to return to your socializing ways at the local tavern. The Budweiser Buddy Cup, as it is called, is a new kind of “smart” beer glass which will be able to connect to Facebook thanks to an integrated chip which is located at the base of the beer glass itself. It is the creation of Agencia Africa in partnership with Bolha, a digital innovation studio in Sao Paulo, where the glass would be able to work on its own by making people friends on Facebook whenever they toast with that particular beer glass.
Sergio Gordilho, chief creative officer at Agencia Africa, said: “Innovation is in Budweiser’s DNA. Its platforms are constantly surprising consumers with the best there is in terms of premium experiences. The “Buddy Cup” is another idea bringing the brand even closer to its consumers and opening new levels of interaction for them.” This would certainly make those outings at the local watering hole a whole lot more interesting, don’t you think so?
Tailgater Dual Backpack Drink Dispenser – Cheers!
Ah the good old days. I remember going to rock concerts and tailgate parties with all kinds of unique items containing alcoholic beverages. I’m not sure the “new kids” are spiking watermelons and oranges or making adult Jello. Maybe I’m wrong, I’d kinda like to think that the day of things like the beer bong aren’t gone, would college be the same?… I’m hoping technology will just make some of the old stuff even more fun and amusing.

Drink Dispensing Driver
Tackling an 18-hole golf course does require some bit of endurance and a certain degree of physical fitness for sure. The thing is, it is all the more important to make sure that you remain well hydrated throughout the entire course, so that you do not end up collapsing on the green with your caddy requiring to drive you back to the clubhouse’s medical facilities on a buggy. Well, what better way to show the world your love for the game of golf than with the $89.95 Drink Dispensing Driver?
The Drink Dispensing Driver is pretty much self-explanatory, as it is a drink dispensing golf club which allows you to get a head start on the rest of your mates while you guys are still trudging on the course itself. The unit’s club head and shaft will make it look like it is a normal driver, but it has the secret ability of dispensing 1-oz. per second from a spout in the club head with but a single touch of a button. Whenever it resides in a golf bag, the drink dispensing driver will allow you to maintain the illusion of proper course etiquette, without drawing a second look unless the course officials have this rather keen eye. Capable of keeping up to 54 oz. of refreshments cool or warm for up to five hours, the Drink Dispensing Driver will be powered by a quartet of AA batteries.
Vino2Go Portable Wine Glass
I am quite sure that we have all heard of coffee to go, especially with the number of tumblers from Starbucks and other gourmet coffee chains, but who would have actually ordered a glass of wine to go? Certainly not on this side of town, as most of the time, the entire glass will be consumed before one drives home. Things will certainly change with the introduction of the £14.99 Vino2Go Portable Wine Glass, where it comes in Business Black, Merlot Red and Verde Green shades. Definitely far classier than a mug or a bucket, it also guarantees no danger of broken glass or spillage, and will be more than accommodating for both chilled or mulled wine.
In addition, there is a slide-action seal to ensure that your glass of wine will remain as fresh as possible when you arrive at your destination, although we would not recommend you drinking along the way since there might be a need to explain to the highway patrol officer who pulls you over. Patience is always rewarding, my friends, and to know that the £14.99 Vino2Go Portable Wine Glass has been endorsed by numerous enterprising winos is a comforting thought.
Zipz Wine – In a Glass, to Go!
Yes, I am here to extol the joys of portable, self contained, alcoholic beverages. I fondly remember the days where anything could be made better by a six-pack (or two) of my favorite beer, heck you could take a can of beer anywhere, it came in its own serving container, just pop the top and enjoy… none of that pesky bottle opening, cork closing, annoying wine glass business you have with a bottle of Merlot.

Barbuzzo Spin the Shot – Drink! Drink! Drink!
Every New Year comes and goes with me making the same resolution. I am going to drink more and eat less. I dont know why I never seem to get around to it. I keep hearing about the benefits of a little red wine. Although, to be honest, it’s not really the benefits that I’m looking for. I just want to start having a little more fun. Perhaps not quite as much fun as I had in college, but fun nonetheless!

Wine To-Go
Sometimes you just need to take your vino with you. Maybe you are headed for a day at the races or a picnic in the park. Schlepping a bottle around sure is not convenient. There’s the need to keep it from breaking and you have to find a bottle opener. Hassle for sure! Sure, there’s the box-o-wine solution but is there actually GOOD tasting wine in a box?

Contigo Autoseal Travel Mug
We are extremely busy people, and the cafe culture that has more or less made inroads across most countries these days would also see folks pack their fair share of coffee to perk up their mornings. Well, some of us who prefer to take the environmentally friendly road might want to settle for bringing our own mugs the next time we decide to buy some mocha to go, but keeping your drink piping hot on the way to your destination is another issue to grapple with.
Enter the £29.99 Contigo Autoseal Travel Mug which comes in either gunmetal or red shades, where it sports an ergonomically designed handle for easy holding. The name of the Contigo Autoseal Travel Mug itself gives the game away, as it boasts of a patented push ‘n’ sip system that translates to no more spills, and it looks good to boot. Those who have this thing for keeping their cars clean all the time would find the Contigo Autoseal Travel Mug worth checking out, especially since the no-spills “feature” would be a top drawer.
