Like drinking games? How about the Loaded Dice? As with any good and self-respecting drinking game, this one is extremely easy to learn – all you need to do is fill the shot glass and slam it down, performing whatever you need to do according to the throw of the dice. The more intoxicated you get, the less inhibitions you have to perform according to the instructions given! This will definitely help you grow a pot belly in no time if you knock back a considerable number of glasses each time you play, but at least you have good fun while you’re at it!

We’ve seen our fair bit of bottle openers in the past, but this time round ThinkGeek appeals to the Trekkie in you by offering the delectable Star Trek Enterprise Bottle Opener. Modeled after the Enterprise (NCC-1701), it is missing the main portion of the bridge so that there is enough room to create pressure when it comes to cracking open the finest ales and beers in the galaxy. Fully decked out in chrome, having one of these on hand at all times might lead you to adventures that you’ll never imagine, regardless of whether they’re alcohol-imbued or not. The Star Trek Enterprise Bottle Opener is going for $17.99 a pop.

Having a bottle opener handy is essential this summer as you pop open a whole crate of bottles in the summer sun. Well, opening bottles might be simple to the sober person, but once you’ve gone through an entire crate by yourself, things could get rather tricky after that. Enter the cue for the Be Open Beer and Soda Bottle Opener that makes popping open a bottle a snap, where all it requires is for you to press and push down the gadget, opening that bottle of golden liquid with a loud pop!

The next time you host a party and want to be the talk of town, how about purchasing a few of these ShotCarvers in advance? After all, they’re able to offer something most people would never have expected – shot glasses made out of fruit itself. All you need to do is insert the device into an apple, pear or other fruit, twist and remove – voila! You’ll have removed most of the innards of a fruit, offering a fair bit of space for you to pour your favorite poison within. Sure, the ShotCarver doesn’t seem to function any differently from an apple corer, but at least this $12 device ought to be more of a hit among drinkers than housewives.

Check out this interestingly named Hopside Down Beer Glass – it offers a totally different method for you to down your favorite beer, and all of these are unique in their own way in a sense that they are hand-blown, so you can be sure that no two on this earth are exactly the same.

This looks like some sort of strange mad scientist design of a contraption which concocts a weird potion after putting in all sorts of exotic ingredients. Actually, it is known as the Missisipi Distiller that attempts to capture the original spirit (pun not intended) of the American south distilling heritage.

Designed in Barcelona, Spain, this finely crafted home distiller illustrates the nuances of English that are often lost in translation. The still’s copper frame is engraved with Missisipi Destil Co.–an honest, if poorly translated, attempt to pay homage to the distilling heritage of the American south. Destined to elicit questions from guests and encourage conversation, the distiller is reminiscent of those used to make brandy or extract essential oils from plants for use in perfumes. The alcohol burner, cucurbit, condensing pot, and collection cup are made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass–the same glass used in laboratory beakers. The distiller is mounted on a walnut base and its frame is made from five copper plates secured in place with copper rivets.

How much does it cost to bring this piece of memorabilia home? $199.95.

I’ve always told my wife that the ratio of energy between children and adults is completely disproportionate. It’s like parents need twice as much energy than they already have to deal with half the energy their children already possess. That might sound confusing to some readers, but if you have children, you probably have noticed how easily they can wear you out.

Fortunately, there are ways to channel the energy of children into something that can help their future. This is what the Playpump is designed to do. This merry-go-round is connected to pumps, and when children spin it, they are able to tap into the fresh water below.
