How To Make Eggnog, The Festive Holiday Booze-Shake
In the abstract, the notion that some people don't want to drink eggnog makes sense: diabetics, say, or the lactose-intolerant or egg-allergic, or those principled self-denying oddballs who prefer not to replace their entire body mass gradually with dietary fat and cholesterol until they resemble ...
A Great Beer For People With Fake Christmas Trees
When you're a kid or an idiot, you lack the experience and imagination necessary to realize that there's more than one way to skin a cat or detail a hot dog. That's why so many young folk and dumb folk get so exercised when they see someone skinning a cat tail-first or putting ketchup on a hot dog....
The Drunkspin 2014 Holiday Gift Guide
Are you wondering what to get the beloved boozebags in your life? I bet you're not, right? You're just going to give them all bottles of randomly selected $30 brown liquor, or maybe those stupid little chocolates stuffed with a quarter-squirt of skanky schnapps, or the first gin-and-martini-glasse...
Holiday Gift Guide: For Your Generous Party Host
One of the best things you can give to a friend who has invited you into his or her home for the holidays is something good to drink. But telling you to buy a bottle of booze would make for a pretty boring, if practical, Gift Guide. (If you do buy a bottle of booze, be a love and wrap it nicely?)...
Behold Drunkspin's 2014 Bastard Of The Year
As we wind down the most successful year in Drunkspin's long and storied history of being your no. 1 source for under-informed beer reviews and gratuitous Yuengling hatred, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and, at the same time, apologize for violating your trust....
Anchor Christmas Ale 2014: Great Tradition, Mediocre Year
My family is woefully short on Christmas traditions. This is largely due to our being a small unit consisting of zero children or Christians, the two things that seem to make this particular holiday go 'round. But we like kids and Christs just fine, and everybody likes days off in the middle of the ...
Beer For Breakfast, Lunch, And Dinner: A Crohn's Disease Tasting Menu
I should probably start by announcing that I'm not a doctor. So if you're reading this, and you (like me) have Crohn's disease, and you're looking for some sort of guide for how to deal with your illness or how to incorporate more adventure into your diet, please keep in mind that in this case, yo...
Tim Howard Retracts Book Claim That Brad Friedel Tried To Sabotage Him
Tim Howard has announced that he will alter future editions of his just-published book, in response to Brad Friedel's complaint that the book unfairly and inaccurately claims that Friedel attempted to block Howard's move to the Premier League. This decade-old goalkeeper feud still burns brightly, ap...
What's The Worst State In The Union To Get Drunk In?

Relay Runner Crashes Marathon Finish Line, Snaps Tape Ahead Of Winner
Shitaye Gemechu won the Dallas Marathon this weekend, but she did not get a chance to snap the tape at the finish line. That's because right as she reached the finish, a 51-year-old runner named Janice Moore came out of nowhere and was like, "Nah, this tape's mine."...
Blue Moon's Winter Beer Is A Fine Gateway Drug, As Usual
For all the inroads American craft beer has made in the past decade, the 10 best-selling domestic brewskis are all still owned by either Anheuser-Busch InBev or SABMiller. The two-headed, yellow-fizz-pissing monster achieves this market dominance through the traditional means of aggressive advertisi...
Hunters, Please Stop Shooting Runners
It's deer hunting season again, which means that runners across the country have begun fearing for their lives. Hunters, please stop shooting runners....
Dan Patrick's Session Beer For Bros Will Fill Up Your Passion Bucket
Last year Red Hook teamed up with television and radio personality Dan Patrick to produce Audible Ale, which they proudly trumpet as "the ultimate craft beer for watching sports." What confers this ultamism? The marketing material suggests it's derived primarily from Audible's "crushable" status, ...
More Proof That Anheuser-Busch Hates You, Me, And Nature's Finest Fruit
Apples are the best fruit, because in addition to being delicious, they are also versatile. Apples can be juiced, pied, carameled, candied, fermented, distilled, cidered, crisped, jacked, brown bettied!, eaten plain without a fuss like you're some kind of goddamn health monster determined to live ...
Dogfish 120 Minute IPA Is America's Classiest One-Beer Buzz
I've been drinking irresponsibly lately, by which I mean all of the usual things, but also that I've been forgetting to use the stupid notebook in which I differentiate between beers with "strong grapefruit character" and those that merely display "pronounced citrus notes." I draw little trees next ...
Manchester United Are Back Where They Belong, But Can It Last?
Well, they've done it. They've survived the year from hell, with a hopelessly overmatched manager, a rumored but never unveiled treasure chest meant to revitalize a squad whose actual age was catching up to their prematurely graying and receding hairlines, a humiliating season of unending self-infli...
Police Were Busy At Lambeau Field
It was a damp 32 degrees at kickoff, the self-service beer machines were up and running, and the fine people of Green Bay had themselves, as Hank Williams Jr. used to say, a Monday night party. ...
Here's An Underrated IPA From A Properly Rated State
New Hampshire is often overlooked by my fellow Massachusettsian beer-drinkers and life-lovers, and this is a shame. All we tend to know about the Granite (or Marble?) State is that there's no sales tax but high property tax (or perhaps vice versa), and it's got either a nice, long coastline or, if t...
Runners & Ibuprofen: No Benefit, Could Cause "Colonic Seepage"
If you're like me, one of the main goals during a run is to not shit yourself. But if you're like almost 70 percent of runners, you routinely pop a couple ibuprofen prior to a hard workout or a race as a preemptive strike against soreness. New research suggests you can't have it both ways. ...
Ex-Nike Runner Metes Out Public Relations Advice
Former Nike-sponsored runner Kara Goucher suggested in a tweet that Nike's We Run Dirty campaign for trail running gear was ill-advised, given the recent doping dramas involving, among others, top-tier Kenyan Rita Jeptoo and Russian Liliya Shobukhova. Both women are—or were, at the time they fail...
