Straight from the can

Source: Cinemablend.com Pros: Extremely convenient and no chance of broken glassware. Also, there’s nothing quite like the sound of cracking open a can of beer at the end of a long day. Cons: Metallic cans don’t let you fully appreciate the colour and aroma of the beer. Also, 330ml tends to be just a little less than satisfying, so you’ll probably have more than one. That increases the chance of you trying to crush an empty can on your forehead. That usually doesn’t end well. Conclusion: Quick and easy if you don’t want to over complicate things. But remember you’ll probably have more than one, which can lead to the mysterious disappearance of a six-pack of beer the morning after … and a weird circular bruise on your forehead that you can’t explain. Straight from the bottle

Source: Justandrewgarfieldgifs.tumblr.com Pros: You can nurse a drink all night long without drawing too much attention to your sobriety. In clubs, it’s one of the safest things to hold while everyone is dancing around you — no spillage. Cons: Requires a bottle opener, unless you’ve learned the hands-only ways of the Beer Jedi. Plus, like drinking form a can, you won’t be able to fully appreciate the colour and aroma of the beer you’re drinking. Conclusion: If you’re looking for a relaxed night without any fuss or clean up, go for the bottle. If you find yourself without a bottle opener (tsk, tsk), check out this tip. From a glass

tip.

From a glass

Source: Gifbay.com Pros: Allows full appreciation of a beer’s colour and aroma. And come on, it’s so pretty. Cons: Your glass receptacle also needs to be chilled before you even start drinking so it doesn’t raise the beer’s temperature. And you’ll have a glass to wash. That’s washing before and after. Conclusion: Go for a glass if you’re at a bar with chilled pint glasses with draft beer. In any other case, unless specifically instructed to at a fancy party, just drink your beer from the bottle or can. In a frozen margarita

Source: Nyc-in-myheart.tumblr.com Pros:It’s perfect for a hot, humid day — and it’s pretty easy to make for a houseparty. There are many different ways you can jazz things up, but here’s the basic recipe. INGREDIENTS -180ml of frozen limeade -180ml of tequila -180ml of beer -Ice METHOD Throw everything into a blender, fill with ice and blitz till smooth. Then stick the mix in the freezer till you’re ready to serve. Serves four. Cons: Sipping through a straw as you daintily grasp the glass with your pinky out may not be the look you’re going for. It’s also too easy to have one too many because of how easy it is to drink. Conclusion: Watch how much you throw back because you don’t want to be that guy who passed out from too many frozen margaritas. Passing out from too much of anything is bad, from frozen margaritas … That’s something your friends will never forget. #TrueStory In a submarine

Source: Tgifridays.tumblr.com Pros: Bomb-shots are a pretty quick way to jumpstart the evening. Cons: You’re not going to enjoy the actual drinking, considering you need to chug down the entire mix so you don’t prolong the taste of this hellish concoction. And you won’t like how your head feels the next day. Your head probably won’t like you either. Conclusion: If drinking to you is more of a means to an end, well … good luck and good night. But if you actually like the taste of a good beer, save the shot for a separate session. With stout

Source: Beeranyone.tumblr.com Pros: Almost impossible to screw up, this is perhaps the easiest way to change up a regular beer drinking experience and open up all the flavours from both components. Doesn’t require an upscale bar to execute — just a regular coffee shop will suffice. Cons: Those looking for a cleaner, crisp taste should avoid this method. Conclusion: Worth trying if you haven’t done so before. But if you’re happy with the way your crisp, balanced beer tastes, why mess with perfection? Playing Beer Pong

Source: Mattybing1025.tumblr.com Pros: You don’t have to be good at the game to have a drink. In fact, if you’re thirsty, you should aim (by not aiming) to be horrible while playing. Cons: No matter how cool it looks on TV, this is one messy way to drink beer. Plus, depending on your opponent’s skill level, you might end up waiting a long time to finally drink a lukewarm brew with mild top notes of ping pong. Eww. Conclusion: Decently enjoyable and good to break the ice at a party, but if you’re more interested in actually consuming your booze, just keep it to one round. Okay, hot shot? Doing a keg stand

Source: Giphy.com Pros: For a moment, with everyone cheering and buddies holding your legs up, you’ll feel like the star of the party. Cons: That moment is usually pretty short-lived. And may involve a trip to the A&E. Conclusion: Just don’t do it. Don’t. Do. It.
