Many of you may be asking what exactly a beer boot is. What’s the history behind them?

Beer boots or Bierstiefeln in German have over a century of history and culture behind them. It is commonly believed that a general promised his troops to drink beer from his boot if they were successful in battle. When the troops prevailed, the general had a glassmaker fashion a boot from glass to fulfill his promise without tasting his own feet and to avoid spoiling the beer in his leather boot. Since then, soldiers have enjoyed toasting to their victories with a beer boot. At gatherings in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, beer boots are often passed among the guests for a festive drinking challenge. Since the movie Beer Fest appeared in 2006, Beer Boots have become increasingly popular in the United States. Originally most commonly seen in the German Restaurant and Bier Garten (Beer Garden) scene in the US, they have become a party essential at college campuses across the nation. Beer boots are made of either manufactured pressed glass or mouth blown glasses by skilled artisans in form of a boot. They come in a wide array of sizes, and we carry the largest variety. For drinking groups in particular, the larger beer boots, especially the two liter, are the favored option.

Contrary to popular belief, not everybody likes beer. I know that all the beer drinkers in the world will read this and probably head for the back button on their browser. Well, that’s fine, but if you want to get into the mind of a non beer drinker and understand why he or she doesn’t drink beer, you might want to read what follows. At least you’ll understand why there are actually some people who would rather walk on hot coals than drink a bottle of beer.

For starters, do you remember the very first time you took a sip of beer? Of course you do. It was just before you wanted to barf all over the bartenders cash register. It was bitter, it was disgusting and it was just plain not something you ever wanted to drink again. And then you looked around at all your cool friends, seeing them enjoying their ice cold brew and you thought to yourself, “If I don’t drink this beer they are all going to laugh at me”. So you bit the bullet and finished your brew. Eventually and it took time, you got used to the taste and actually began to enjoy it. You beat your better senses. You became a beer drinker.

Well, non beer drinkers simply didn’t bow to peer pressure. They took that first sip, realized that what they were drinking tasted like something out of a bathroom tap rather than an alcohol tap and said, “The heck with my friends. I’ll be darned if I’m going to drink this.”. . You can fill in the blank with your own descriptive and colorful word. The point is, you refused to cave in. Your real friends would still be your friends even if you didn’t turn into a beer drinker.

But not caving into peer pressure is not the only reason non beer drinkers don’t drink beer. Let’s face it, beer is fattening. They call them beer bellies for a reason and anybody who wants to have any chance to score with a really hot girl doesn’t want to look like Fernando Valenzuela. It’s hard enough getting girls these days even if you’re good looking since most good looking men are automatically assumed to be uninterested in women. And if you’re thinking that you can always drink light beer, well, that stuff tastes worse than the regular beer, if it has any taste at all.

But there’s still another reason why non beer drinkers don’t drink beer. This applies to people who do socially drink something. Obviously, those who don’t drink any type of alcoholic beverage aren’t going to drink beer. But for those who do drink, the reason they will choose other beverages, such as mixed drinks or wine coolers over beer, even if they don’t mind the taste of beer so much, is that these other drinks have a different social status attached to them. Most beer drinkers are looked at as the common man. Men who are investment brokers for a living want to project a different kind of image. So they will pick a martini over a beer, even if they have nothing against the taste itself.

So the next time you’re with a friend of yours and you offer him a beer and he says no thanks, don’t go jumping to conclusions. There could be many reasons why he just doesn’t drink beer.

Have you tried almost everything when it comes to losing abdominal fat? Are you tired of trying to hide that ugly beer belly? Stop spending money on all those quick fix diet and exercise programs and start doing some serious working out.

If you ever want to look like the guys in fitness magazines, you will have to give up your bad habits. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to stop eating and drinking everything you love, it just means you need to seriously consider what you would rather have. Keep this in mind: women have consistently voted abs as the most desirable body part on a man.

Which will it be? The Beer Belly or the Ripped Toned Body you crave?

If you would rather have the beer belly, then stop reading because this article isn’t for you. If, on the other hand, you have made the decision to get the ripped, toned body of your dreams, then read on.

Losing abdominal fat comes down to two things: Diet & Exercise.

There is probably no drink more popular on the silver screen than beer. No, it’s not a leading man or lady and it doesn’t have any dialogue, but many times a cold bottle or mug of beer is the focal point of the scene. Need examples of this peculiarity of motion pictures? No problem. Stick around, keep reading and we’ll fill your belly with a few classic scenes from motion picture history.

In 1933 there was a movie by the name of “What – No Beer?” The movie stared the immortal Buster Keaton and Jimmy Durante. Both of these men were comic geniuses. In the movie they played a couple of con men, something both were very good at. They decided they were going to start a brewery the night before prohibition started. The classic lines went like this.

Keaton: Can’t we make beer in the daylight?

Durante: We’re making dark beer.

You have to see the expression on Jimmy’s face as he spoke those lines. Absolutely priceless. This is a movie that is rarely seen today.

Also from 1933, there was the great short film by W.C. Fields called “The Fatal Glass Of Beer”. The movie itself doesn’t really have much to do with beer at all. It’s more a morality play on temperance. In the movie Fields sings a song lyric that pretty much shows the theme and color of the movie itself. The lyric was, “They tempted him to drink and they said he was a coward. At last he took the fatal glass of beer”. Almost sounds like something out of Hamlet.

On a more serious note, in the 1944 classic film “Double Indemnity” which stared Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray, the two people who planned and carried out Stanwyck’s husband’s death, there is a great exchange of lines between the two that went like this.

Stanwyck: Would you like some iced tea?

MacMurray: Unless you’ve got a bottle of beer that’s not working.

Now THAT is some really great writing. They don’t make lines like that in today’s Hollywood.

Many times though, a glass or bottle of beer is placed in a scene because the brewery paid for it to be there. Yes, it’s shameless advertising but it works.

Think of the movie E.T. when our little friend goes to refrigerator and pulls out a six pack of Coors and plops himself down in front of the TV. If this wasn’t an image that sold lots of Coors after the movie was released then people just weren’t watching. Of course the funniest part was what the beer did to E.T.’s friend Elliott. Now THAT was a sight to behold.

One thing that beer manufacturers are very careful about is how their beer is seen in the movie itself. They never let their brand name be associated with violence and death. This would certainly kill any chances of selling it ever again.

Yes, beer is not only a part of real life but it is also a part of our movie history.

In some cases, a very big part.

It probably happened to you too, after a long night out with one little drink too many, to feel the world spinning around you in the morning, to feel your head heavy and your stomach crunched. That was the moment you cursed your life and promised yourself you’ll stop drinking. For good! Yet it happened again, because you just forgot how awful that feeling was, or because you were having too much fun to count your drinks, or. just because.

So you know that drinking alcohol causes hangovers, but what exactly in it not even the physicians can tell you. They even have problems whether to recommend drinking alcohol or not. Some simply forbid it, while others, knowing the proven benefits of many alcoholic drinks, recommend to their patients a moderate consumption of alcohol. Yes: moderation is the key and the second answer to the question “how to avoid hangovers”, the first being: don’t drink.

Wine, whisky and bourbon can cause a harder hangover than beer and vodka. Some chemical substances in dark grapes found in red wines or the yeast in unfiltered beer can cause severe headaches in many people.

Although no one really knows what in alcohol causes hangovers, a proven reason for the headaches associated with hangovers is dehydration. Alcohol, being a diuretic, makes you urinate. And if you are a beer drinker I don’t need to tell you what drink has the strongest diuretic effect. So, when you feel that terrible headache early in the morning, don’t go on drinking coffee. Coffee is a diuretic as well and it will only continue the dehydration process. Drink water. That’s what you really need. Or start the day with a strong chamomile tea that will act like a balsam for your stomach and open your appetite for food. Because, although you feel like your stomach can’t face food, you must eat. Your body needs carbohydrates, potassium and vitamin C after a hangover. Eat plenty of bread or bananas.

Second, you need to do something about the alcohol left in your body. A hangover makes you feel the need to stay in bed. But the secret to a fast recovery is movement. Sweating is the fastest way to get rid of the surplus alcohol. Exercise and sex are as effective as a bio sauna, even more, because not many people can stand the heat and a hangover.

Now you know what you can do after you get a hangover. But can you prevent it? Yes you can! So let’s start with the most important advice: don’t drink on an empty stomach. Food will help your body digest alcohol faster. As alcohol attacks your stomach, you might consider eating some fatty food like cheese, or having a sip of olive oil that will work like a balsam or a thin film protecting your stomach membrane.

Beer is fast digested, so if you plan to mix beverages, drink beer first. Beer will help your body absorb the other drinks faster. No matter what alcoholic beverage you drink, remember alcohol is a diuretic and always drink a glass of water between each glass of alcohol.
