I have a major drinking problem. And that problem is that I can’t sit back with a chilly brew when I’m on the move. Whether I’m at work or waiting for the the train, I need a constant flow of beer flowing down my gullet and until now that just wasn’t possible unless I wanted to carry around one of those hobo specials, the brown bags of wonder. Because lord knows I can’t carry around my usual beer stein.

The Port-A-Pint collapsible beer cup has saved me from many a desperate situations. Passing a kegger party and totally cupless? No more! Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

This Popcorn Basketball Bowl is specifically designed for the sportsman. The armchair sportsman that is.

With a little nook for your remote and an icy brew, this massive six quart bowl features a special spoon on one side which catapults the kernels towards the popcorn basket on the other side. $25 for sports snacking awesomeness.

We’ve seen a decent collection of alcohol-themed holsters, but none that have really catered to the average man who prefers to drown his sorrows to the tune of beer cans rather than beer bottles or hard liquor.

The Six-Pack Beer Can Holster straps six cans of your favorite brew across your chest like an alcoholic Rambo. The holders appear to be insulated, so they should retain their refreshing coolness. I’m digging the cross-chest design as well. Most other holsters we’ve posted are standard belt holsters. We like to be unique.

Instructables strikes again with another incredibly useful HOW TO. The next time you go camping, pick up a can of tuna on the way. After eating it for dinner and washing it down with a beer, you can saw the top off the beer can and turn the whole thing into a compact, portable stove. Genius.

Look, I’ve talked about sneaking alcohol into concerts several times before. It’s something that we as men just have a natural need for when we’re rocking out and we’d like to save a buck while we’re at it. These beer pouches? Perfect for crotch stuffing. I bet you could cram a damn six-pack in between your ass cheeks no problem.

One recycling bin is hardly enough to hold the refuse of a single distinguished alcoholic. The problem is that sometimes your local recycling service limits your recyclable volume to one measly container. That leaves plenty of empty beer cans ready to be transformed.

Not an alcoholic himself, Paul Villinski had to resort to picking beer cans off of the street to create his Butterfly Beer Can wall art. The butterfly art is attached to the wall with suspension wire, giving the can crafts a three dimensional pop.

Jesus Christ! These are beer cans from back in the day? I thought they were empty canisters of motor oil judging by the crude design and packaging. I bet Lockwasher would love to get his hands on some of these for a project. A guy named Dan sent these into The Dieline and this is what he had to say:

“I have something I thought you all might find interesting. My friend/classmate Dan Becker and I were able to shoot a portion of an extensive beer can collection (2000+ cans) containing cans from the past 70 years or so. We have a set on flicker of 163 cans which was just recently featured on Design Observer.

Said Flickr set can be found by clicking the link below. I love the names of some of these beers. “LITE BEER,” “Cold Spring” and “Acme” all have that vintage ring in the name. Some of these cans are over 70 years old, meaning this is the same kind of shit people drank during the Great Depression. Coincidence? I think not.

Does that special alcoholic in your life complain about how you so rarely smell like you’ve been drenched in booze? No longer with Beer Soap! Made with an assortment of smelly ingredients and a wide-range of beers, Beer Soap is the only personal washing material guaranteed to give you a buzz if eaten. (Admittedly, there are easier ways to do this.)

In other words, don’t be washing out your kid’s mouth with this stuff. Save it for washing out your own. Available in a nice variety of lagers, including Foster’s, Guinness and Samuel Adams.

Ah, yes! Do you remember Lockwasher? He’s the ultimate DIYer, creating robots and sculptures from metal junk. I know, that was awhile ago but he’s back with some really awesome creations this time around. This one is called Beer2-D3 and you can easily make your own with a free afternoon, random parts and a case of Heineken it seems:

What is Beer2-D3 made from?
Beer2’s technical specs:

Head – 1945 chrome BLC utility light shell.
Eye – vintage movie camera lens w/adjustable spring-loaded aluminum casing.
Body – 4.7 liter “adult soda” mini-keg.
Legs – propane tank valve handles, brass spacers, drilled-out washers, pair of aluminum Lady Josephine shoe butler (wall-mounted shoe shine holders).
Feet/base – 3 mini bread loaf pans, lamp hardware and a 1/2? precision drilled aluminum base plate.
+assorted nuts, bolts, screws and, of course – lockwashers!

Slammin’. Tell you what. Lets make out own robot. You come up with the schematics and assemble it, I’ll drink the beer.

“Lord Thunderbrew requests you slay 5 rabbits in Darkshore. Your reward will be beer.”

Sweet! You’re going to get drunk in WoW, but what about real life? After all, the more beer you chug, the better the women look. Do it up properly with this $90 World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King beer stein. It was designed by Italian illustrator Alex Horley and features some kind of epic battle going down. Like I said, this is for the serious drunkard.
