After wining the Gold Medal, the Canadian women’s hockey team celebrated right there on the ice, no more than a half and hour later with Canadian beers, Canadian champagne, and cigars for all to watch and see.  This is probably the best celebration that we have ever seen at the Olympics, and who thought it would have come from the Canadians!?  I got to hand it to them though, these women look like they know how to have a good time!

From hosted.ap.org:

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — The women of the Canadian hockey team politely accepted their gold medals and waved to an adoring crowd. And then the real celebration began.

More than half an hour after they beat the United States 2-0 on Thursday, the players came back from the locker room and staged a party on ice – swigging from bottles of champagne, guzzling beer and smoking cigars.

In a sport that Canada invented, there was never an option besides gold, and with it finally in hand, the home team let loose.

Meghan Agosta and Marie-Philip Poulin posed wearing goofy grins. Rebecca Johnston actually tried to drive the ice-resurfacing machine. Haley Irwin poured champagne into the mouth of Tessa Bonhomme, gold medals swinging from both their necks.

The celebration raised eyebrows at the IOC, which said it would look into the matter. Informed of the antics by The Associated Press, Gilbert Felli, the IOC’s executive director of the Olympic Games, said it was “not what we want to see.”

“I don’t think it’s a good promotion of sport values,” he said. “If they celebrate in the changing room, that’s one thing, but not in public. We will investigate what happened.”

Poulin, who scored both goals, doesn’t turn 19 – legal drinking age in British Columbia – until next month. The drinking age in Alberta, where the Canadian team trains, is 18. Photos showed Poulin on the ice with a beer in her hand.

“We understand that they were asked to go back onto the playing field after the stadium had emptied to take a photo,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams said. “We understand that some people may have felt that their behavior was over-exuberant.”

Steve Keough, a spokesman for the Canadian Olympic Committee, said the COC had not provided the alcohol nor initiated the party.

“In terms of the actual celebration, it’s not exactly something uncommon in Canada,” he said.

While the committee does not condone irresponsibility, Keough said, “I think Canadians understand it’s quite an emotional moment for our team. It was not our intention to go against any IOC protocols.”

Not even uncommon at these Olympics. After Jon Montgomery won a gold medal for Canada in skeleton, he walked through the streets of Whistler guzzling from a pitcher of beer that he gripped with two hands.

American Scotty Lago, who won a bronze in halfpipe, voluntarily left the games after a photo surfaced of a woman kneeling below his waist to kiss the medal.

Here are a few beers that are guaranteed to get you drunk! These beers are strong and most of the are very hoppy tasting, so if you can get past that, or if you enjoy that type of beer, then you will enjoy these. And the good news is that it will only take a couple of bottles and you will be trashed!  These beers range in the alcohol content, but all are above 15%. That is strong when you take into consideration that a typical beer that you might be drinking ranges from an average of 4-6% in alcohol content.

From FoxNews.com:

Most beers consumed in the U.S. hover between four and 10 percent alcohol by volume (ABV). These are the brews downed by the round or six pack at happy hours and tailgate parties across the country every day. But there is a select and rarefied list of beers that break such shackles of conformity and aim their potency high into territory normally reserved for whiskey, vodka and rum, raising the question: at 80 proof, is it really beer anymore? And furthermore, is anyone capable of caring once they’ve drunk a bottle?

Part of a recent explosion of extreme beers, high-gravity brews are suds of a different sort. The name comes from the liquid’s density in comparison to water – the higher the gravity, the more alcohol that can form. And because they range anywhere from approximately 14 percent to 40 percent ABV, there is a huge range of flavors and textures in this category. Many are syrupy, with huge amounts of nutty and toasty malt stemming from the quantities of that dried extract necessary to kick the alcohol content into the “dear God I can’t feel my hands” range. The high proof ratings tend to make them ‘hotter’ than typical beers, exchanging refreshing and crisp for unique flavors that put each of them in a category of its own.

But there is one unifying factor – every single one of them packs a punch that’s a heck of a lot harder than Bud can deliver. Here are a few to keep an eye out for, you may want to duck:

Dogfish Head Brewery Olde School:
A barley wine style ale, which has only a mild hops bitterness with fruit dominating the flavors, this 15 percent ABV ale is an excellent introduction to the breed. A pale glowing orange in color, it’s rich and heavy with just a touch of bitterness and huge berry flavors. So much so that it’s better drank from a snifter than a bottle. It’s the root beer of beers, with sugar and fruits wafting out of the glass, and a strange medicinal aftertaste that makes it an acquired taste for many.

Avery Mephistopheles Stout:
As black-hearted as its namesake, this 15.1 percent ABV stout pours a deep coal-black and offers a creamy mocha head which disappears quickly due to weak carbonation. The tastiest beer in this lineup, a chewy mouthful reeks of toffee, molasses, and a tinge of vanilla ringed with burnt coffee and the sweet heat of the alcohol. Like most stouts, it’s a meal in a glass.

Mikkeler Black:
The brewery recommends aging this huge stout for a few years to take the edge off, and it’s not a bad idea. Weighing in at 17.5 percent ABV, there’s virtually no carbonation to lighten the creamy texture brought on by the champagne yeast used in the brewing process. Charred malt, chocolate and coffee dominate every sip, but there’s nuance here too – the toffee and cherry flavors surprisingly not burned away by the high alcohol content. It’s perfect for sipping a pint slowly over the course of a very long night, but don’t blame anyone but yourself for what gets posted on Facebook if any more than that is consumed.

BrewDog Tactical Nuclear Penguin:
Bizarrely named, this Imperial Stout from Scotland was, for a short time in 2009, the strongest beer ever brewed, and was only recently dethroned by Schorschbrau, a German brewery that has unleashed a 40 percent ABV beer on the world. But at 32 percent ABV, Tactical Nuclear Penguin is one heck of an accomplishment. The brewery claims it’s a beer for the dedicated, and they’re so very right. A deep chocolate brown in the whiskey tumbler that should be its home, the light carbonation doesn’t hide the smoke, tobacco, nutty malt and cola flavors that rule this beer. The heat of the alcohol masks a bit of toffee and chocolate as well. But make no mistake, the thick, almost viscous liquid is brutal in its approach. This nuke takes no prisoners and should be enjoyed sparingly. It’s still technically beer, but in the same way that Heidi Montag is still technically a human.

We miss seeing Paula on there, at least she would be drunk on the show and give us something entertaining to watch. Now all we get is hung over, moody-ass Simon, and all he wants is another cocktail and a nap. Don’t get me wrong, its great listening to his mean comments to some of the contestants due to his nasty hang over mood, but I still think Paula was much more entertaining, slurring words, and laughing uncontrollably up there.

Simon’s new show starting on Fox next year called The X-Factor shows promising signs of drunk celebrities to come! Paula and Simon are to be reunited as judges on The X-Factor! Until then, I guess we are just going to have to be content with watching hung over, grumpy Simon and the other judges.

And if any of you see any of these judges out partying in your city, please post a comment below. We would love to hear what they are doing the night before the auditions! And even better, if you have any good pictures that you snapped of them while you were out upload those to our Drunk Pictures Section!

I will admit that there were a couple times that I found myself chuckling at antics that were being described in the book, specifically the Shit Grenade story. I think I found this story funny because I could relate to it… I went to a college that was on the beach so I was able to put myself into the story and that made the story so much better. If all of the stories where written a bit differently to give the reader a better sense of the scene, and make the reader feel like they where actually there, I think the book would be a much easier read, and probably a lot funnier too. That was the beauty of I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell by Tucker Max. He did a great job with all the little details and the stories made you feel like you were there with him.

All in all, the book was okay. I’d give it 2.5 out of 5 on our beer bottle rating system. Maybe even bump it up to 3 out of 5 since I got a free copy. Despite the low rating, I think the book actually has A LOT of potential if rewritten with more detail. I’m curious to hear what other readers think. If you haven’t read the book, or bought the book yet, Colin was nice enough to share a few of the stories on his website, you can read them here. If you’re a current college student, I’d say, go ahead and pick up a copy of What the Fuck Happened Last Night.

From wcbstv.com:

ALMOND, N.Y. (CBS) ― It was a school bus trip nightmare for students in upstate New York.

A driver is heading to jail after she was drunk behind the wheel with more than three dozen kids aboard.

And as a surveillance video shows, the children were screaming for her to stop.

The video shows the dangerous school bus ride last May in the Alfred-Almond school district in Allegany County. Martha Thompson, 55, had a blood alcohol content of .15. At the time, she thought the children were over-reacting.

Students can be heard screaming, “Put on the brake!”

Driver: “Will you guys stop?”

Student: “Well you’re not okay, and I know it.”

The bus hit high speeds, ran over a mailbox and started rolling backwards downhill.

Student: “Turn the bus off!”

Driver: “No.”

Student: “You’re backing into the freaking ditch; you’re making the little kids cry. Stop!”

Finally, the children opened the emergency door in the back of the bus to get out, despite Thompson pleading against it.

Driver: “You can’t get off the bus!”

Now, Thompson will spend the next 12 weekends in jail on her guilty plea to 37 counts of child endangerment and driving while intoxicated.

“I think this was a just and appropriate outcome in this case,” Allegany County Assistant District Attorney Michael Finn said. “A potential tragedy was averted by the grace of God, and thankfully none of the passengers, nor Mrs. Thompson, was injured as a result of this sequence of events.”

Thompson’s attorney blamed her behavior on a little alcohol having a bad reaction with Thompson’s medication.

“She made a very bad judgment,” Thomas Trbovich said. “She’s embarrassed. She’s very sorry to the children. She never, ever would intentionally put any of those children, especially her own, in any type of risk.

“And now she’s getting the help that she needs.”

In addition to 12 weekends in jail, Thompson will be on six months of home electronic monitoring, five years probation and mandatory alcohol counseling.

As Mariah Carey Walked up on stage, she did a little drunk dance, and had to hold on to her director Lee Daniels because she was too drunk to stand on her own it looked like. After rambling a little while and not being able to find her words, she apologizes to the audience and says, “please forgive me because I am a little bit…um…” The someone in the audience blurted out “…DRUNK,” and Mariah admitted she was!

The Director Lee Daniels seemed a little embarrassed and uncomfortable of the situation, having to be up there on stage with such a lush, and even worse having to hold on to her the whole time to keep her from falling off stage! Mariah Carey left the stage with these kind words, “I thank you all for all listening to my little spiel and God bless you.”

We love these drunk celebrity videos, so please keep drinking and getting in front of the camera for us!

From metro.co.uk:

A disabled man from Darlington has been arrested after he gave a lift to a friend on his mobility scooter while three times over the alcohol limit.

Nigel Lee Drummond was arrested after he was recorded by surveillance cameras weaving erratically through the streets of Darlington at 8mph after he and his friend left a local bar.

But because scooters do not count as cars under normal drink driving laws, Drummond was arrested under an obscure Victorian law – which bans being drunk in charge of a carriage.

Police warned that, while mobility scooters don’t go very fast, they can still pose a hazard to pedestrians and other road users. PC Kevin Salter of Darlington Police commented: ‘He was very drunk.’

Drummond was given a six-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £65 costs.

From women.timesonline.co.uk:

Festive partying seems like a good idea until you wake up with your tongue stuck to the roof of your mouth and your head beating like an African drum. But is there really anything you can do to relieve the morning after the night before? Sue Baic, a dietician and spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association, says that prevention is the best policy: “If you can dilute your alcohol or intersperse it with soft drinks, you will do much to avoid the dehydration and drop in blood-sugar levels that trigger the symptoms.”

She recommends steering clear of red wine — its congeners, the coloured chemicals, can worsen an aching head — and pacing yourself. “Try to have fluids, such as water, coffee or orange juice before bed and the next morning,” she says. “If you can face food, then eat some.”

Such is the desperation to find a hangover remedy, that this month a Twitter campaign has been hunting for a cure. If all else fails, go to bed and stay there until the world becomes clearer.

Milk thistle
Theory: An extract of the milk thistle plant — available as a tablet or a liquid — is thought to aid liver function and help the body to metabolise alcohol more quickly.

Hangover rating: 2/5 Milk thistle contains silybin and silymarin that have been shown in some studies to protect the liver from toxins and to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, most studies have been carried out on alcoholics and there is no proof that it can help TO cure or prevent a hangover.

Bacon sandwich
Theory: It is the hangover cure for many — its smell and taste often prove irresistible. Tradition has it that the bread soaks up the alcohol.

Hangover rating: 5/5 A recent study at Newcastle University’s Centre for Life confirmed that a bacon sarnie can indeed provide relief. “Bread doesn’t soak up alcohol but is high in carbohydrates that boost blood-sugar levels and speed up the metabolism, helping to get rid of alcohol quickly,” says the researcher Elin Roberts. “Bingeing on alcohol depletes brain neurotransmitters but bacon, which is rich in protein, contains amino acids that top these up and make you feel better.”

Black coffee and paracetamol
Theory: Caffeine is thought to kick-start your system, while paracetamol can ease the aches and pains.

Hangover rating:0/5 Black coffee alone can make your hangover worse, according to researchers at Temple University in Philadelphia. Take paracetamol, too, and the effects could be deadly, suggest scientists from the University of Washington. Caffeine triples the amount of a toxic by-product created when paracetamol is broken down. It’s the same as the substance responsible for liver damage when alcohol and paracetamol react together.

Isotonic sports drinks
Theory: These contain tiny, easily digestible particles of carbohydrate that makers claim can help to rehydrate at a faster rate than water.

Hangover rating: 4/5 Dehydration causes loss of body salts, or electrolytes, including magnesium, potassium and chloride. “Sports drinks are probably among the best remedies as they also help to restore blood sugar levels,” says Louise Sutton, a dietician from the Carnegie Centre for sports Performance and Wellbeing at Leeds Metropolitan University. “The drink will provide some calories and can rehydrate the body up to 40 per cent more effectively than water.”

Exercise
Theory: According to new research from the Government, one person in five believes that sweating off a hangover is the most effective approach. Findings from a recent Department of Health survey suggest that 3.8 million adults pull on their trainers the day after over-indulging on alcohol.

Hangover rating: 0/5 No chance it will work, says Gillian Merron, the Minister for Public Health. “You’re not going to compensate with a workout.” Sutton adds that exercise will simply compound the body’s fluid debt.

Water
Theory: Drinking water throughout a drinking session and before bed will negate the effects of alcohol.

Hangover rating:3/5 According to Sue Baic: alcohol is a diuretic so many symptoms are linked to dehydration. If you alternate alcoholic drinks with water, it will dilute some of the nasty by-products of alcohol.”

Hair of the dog
Theory: Having another drink can ease you into recovery.

Hangover rating: 1/5 Withdrawal symptoms from alcohol do contribute to suffering, but drinking more is not advisable. “Although another drink might alleviate symptoms, you are really postponing the point at which you will feel better,” Sutton says.

Prickly pear cactus
Theory: Available as a powder or in pill form, an extract of this cactus plant taken prior to a night on the tiles could reduce the likelihood of a thumping head.

Hangover rating: 4/5 It could help, according to a study at Tulane University in New Orleans, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Researchers tested 64 healthy medical students and the extract reduced three of nine hangover symptoms — nausea, dry mouth and loss of appetite — and halved the risk of a severe hangover.

Alka-Seltzer
Theory: The effervescent tablets contain aspirin, paracetamol and caffeine, and the idea is to take them when you get home rather than the following morning, when you might not be able to keep them down.

Hangover rating: 1/5 They can be helpful for a headache and to neutralise excess stomach acid. “But the main benefit probably comes from the water they are dissolved in,” says Sutton. ”They are worth a try unless your stomach is sensitive, in which case they could prove an irritant to the lining.”

Artichoke extract
Theory: Extract of artichoke leaves help the liver to process alcohol.

Hangover rating: 2/5 The journal Phytomedicine last year showed that a supplement containing a 400mg extract of artichoke leaf extract (such as Cynara Artichoke and Digestiherb) helped stomach problems, and there is anecdotal evidence that it reduces indigestion, an upset stomach and nausea. But not all experts agree and a review in the Canadian Medical Association Journal said that it does nothing to cure a hangover. A review of herbal hangover cures in the British Medical Journal a few years ago found none of them to be beneficial.

Eggs
Theory: Often consumed as part of the hangover fry-up, eggs are also consumed raw by some who believe a substance called cysteine helps to fight free radical damage to the body.

Hangover rating: 1/5 “I can’t imagine anyone wanting cooked eggs, let alone raw ones, when they feel queasy,” says Sutton. “Eating helps and the albumen in eggs could offer relief to the stomach, but toast and water is an easier option.”

Sleep
Theory: James Garbutt, a professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina who specialises in alcohol studies, recently concluded that no hangover cure will work. So, why not crawl under the duvet and sleep it off?

Hangover rating: 3/5 In theory it will work; in practice many symptoms are an indirect result of a chemical called acetaldehyde, produced as your body metabolises booze. It makes you hot and sweaty, increasing your heart rate and making your stomach churn. It is when acetaldehyde accumulates that you vomit. But the metabolism of alcohol interferes with rapid eye-movement sleep, which means that you find it difficult to drop off or you keep waking up. You could try the Hangover Pillow (ruthwhiteyoga.com) stuffed with juniper, fennel, mustard and peppermint, designed to prevent a sore head.

Worcestershire sauce cocktail
Theory: Jeeves confronted Bertie Wooster’s hangover with a supposedly magic cocktail of raw egg, Worcestershire sauce and red pepper. “Gentlemen have told me they have found it extremely invigorating,” Jeeves said.

Hangover rating:0/5 “I can’t imagine anyone being able to stomach Worcestershire sauce, nor having the patience to follow a recipe,” says Sutton. And eating a raw egg could increase the risk of salmonella poisoning. Not quite what your stomach is after.
