Always wanted to take a walk on the wild side? Then the InsideOut Glasses will definitely make you stand out from the crowd.

Super stylish, these sleek glass cylinders contain inner chambers shaped like iconic drinking vessels. Simply pour in a drink and the familiar shape of a champagne flute, a martini glass or a liqueur glass appears. How cool is that! Handmade and mouth-blown, InsideOut Glasses are guaranteed to wow guests with their elegant and contemporary styling. Better still, drinks stay cooler for longer because mitts only make contact with the outer cylinder. Chill one in the freezer and the effect, both visually and practically, is stunning. Sub-zero glassware? Absolutely.

Purists will probably cry foul that this desecrates centuries old tradition of how certain liquors are drunk, but hey - if I can afford to pay for bottles of Kristal without flinching, nobody tells me how I should drink my champagne. You can pick up a set of InsideOut Glasses (2 glasses) for £39.95. Choose from champagne or martini varieties.

Unless you’re an extremely weak drinker, it will take a few glasses or pints of lager before your tongue starts to loosen and you get all happy, forgetting about the day’s woes. Instead of drinking from an ordinary glass, why not settle for the Strobing Beer Glass?

The lights on the base of this plastic pint shoot upwards lighting your favorite tipple in a technicolor swirl that could send your head reeling if you’ve had a couple. If the strobing is a bit too much the other 2 setting will be a welcome relief, one simply flashes and the other keeps the light on steadily, giving your pint an ethereal quality.

It might be a tad tough to remember that the base must be unscrewed before rinsing to make sure the battery and light unit do not get wet. The Strobing Beer Glass will retail for £4.99.

This is one version of “Snakes and Ladders” that isn’t suited for kids, along with dodging snakes and climbing ladders you’ve also got to sup the odd shot along the way. The game includes a few twists on the traditional version:

• Ladders that allow you to jump forward
• Snakes that push you back several squares
• Targets that force you to take a shot (like you need a reason to) or even better a double shot. All shot glasses have to be refilled.
• Targets that allow you to pick a friend that has to take a shot
• ‘Truth or dare’ challenges… You can imagine what the combination of drinking, good company and a truth or dare challenge may result to…

You can get drunk playing Snakes and Ladders for £9.95, booze not included .

If you can only afford the cheap seats at sporting events and find yourself a mile away from the action you can use binoculars to see what’s going on. However, holding binoculars can seriously interfere with your beer drinking arm which is where the Hands-Free Binocular Glasses come to the rescue.

These glasses take the strain out of viewing faraway events and images with their crystal-clear 2.1x magnification lens optics and ingenious hands-free design. Unlike traditional binoculars that keep your hands occupied, these telescopic lenses are worn like eyeglasses, letting you concentrate on sporting events, movies, television, live theatre, and the classroom.

Each lens can be adjusted individually, contain no sharp edges, and are flexible and lightweight enough (less than two ounces) for comfortable extended use. The lenses will accurately focus from 10′ to infinity, offer a wide 20 field of view, and include frosted objective lenses to eliminate distracting reflections.

You can buy the binocular glasses for $119.95.

Getting your 8 daily glasses of water can be a bit of a chore (and is there anything more boring than water!) However, with this neat little device, you can add a little flavour to your “eau” (either strawberry, raspberry or peach).

I suppose it takes more than just unzipping one’s fly when trying to relieve oneself in the gravity-less environment of space. Since drinks in a glass often end up as globules of water in space, it just makes me wonder what a stream of urine will look like. Tiny droplets floating around? Anyway, I dare not carry my imagination further and leave the thinking to those who are paid to do so - the brilliant folks at NASA. Apparently, after whipping out their calculator, it seems that NASA concluded paying $19 million to purchase a Russian-built international space station toilet system is by far more affordable than building one from scratch.

Let’s be honest here - if you actually need the Gear Shift Bottle Stopper, chances are you don’t drink much. After all, who in their right mind would want to plug a good bottle of wine after a couple of glasses, especially when you’re in good company? We’re not here to be the moral police today though, but will espouse the virtues and benefits of the humble bottle stopper coming in the form of a polished Gear Shift knob.

It certainly lends an air of dignity to your wine rack, telling all and sundry that you’re a motorhead at heart as well and don’t drink and drive since you know where your limits are. The Gear Shift Bottle Stopper can be picked up for £9.99.
