Charlie Sheen Goes Down Like A Champ
31 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
If Charlie Sheen carries on like this I’m making a shrine for him on my wall. 36 hours of coke and vodka until your stomach pushes through your oesophagus. This is the work of a superhuman. Charlie’s in rehab now, but I’m sure it’s only a break. Superhumans also detox.

DROP EVERYTHING. They’re Selling Whiskey In Cans
19 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I’m not sure how to feel about this. Scottish Spirits is testing out canned whiskey in South America on the grounds that outdoor drinkers would rather not have to lug a bottle of the stuff around. You also look like less of an insane drunk if you’re taking sips from a can instead of swigs from a bottle of scotch, so there’s that.

Is YOUR Fridge An iPhone-Controlled Beer Cannon? This Guy’s Is.
17 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Well, I guess Ryan Rusnak wins at weekends. Nice try, everybody. This dude set up his fridge to fire a variety of beers at him from across the room whenever he keys in the command on his iPhone. I mean sure, he’s choosing to have Bud Light thrown at him, but cultural differences. Focus on the potential here.

ANC Rings In 2011 With A Four Day Bender
10 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This is a novel idea from our ruling party: Move the end of year party to the start of the year, stretch it out over a weekend and end the whole thing with a concentrated celebration bash at the Moses Mabhida stadium. Add class to the event by serving Jack Daniel’s honey-glazed boerewors and subsidising the liquor. Now who said governing shouldn’t be fun?

My Genes Were Drunk
23 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
You also bump into things, talk loud, take swipes at lamp shades and smash your fist through tempered glass when you’re drunk? Well, it’s not because we were simply raised that way. It’s not even the liquor. It’s Drunk Gene.

Brandhouse Drive Dry Advertisement – Mildly Spicy [VIDEO]
06 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
This is hardly breaking news, but our inboxes have been haunted by it in the last few days, so we thought we’d fill in those of you who haven’t seen it already. Brandhouse is this festive season’s latest corporate entity to launch an anti drink-driving television and print campaign. Let’s just say “prison” and “enforced spooning”.

Get Whipped
30 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
All I need to say about Varsity Blues is Ali Larter and whipped cream bikini. Yoh, even as a female I had trouble breathing. And we all know that it is just about every guy’s fantasy to have his lady do this for him. So laydezz, get this alcoholic version of whipped cream and makes things even more interesting.

Feel It, It Is Beer! And It Comes With 2ov Specials!
24 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Hearken, The Cape Town Festival of Beer approaches. A lot of people have asked, does Cape Town really need another beer festival? We’d like to point out that what Cape Town is getting is a Festival of Beer, not a beer festival. What’s the difference? The former is sophisticated and fun. The latter never is. Now, would a certain 2oceansviber like a 2oceansvibe Festival of Beer special? You would? Click through for details.

The World’s Oldest Champagne And Beer Still Taste Pretty Okay
22 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Some weeks ago, Finnish divers discovered several crates of two-centuries-old champagne and beer from a sunken ship in the Baltic Sea for nearly two centuries. They then drank some of it because, hey, why not. And, because sharing is nice, Finnish authorities sponsored a public opening and tasting of the champagne last Friday.

The thing about the future that excites me the most, besides the talking monkeys and the sexy robots, is the cure for the hangover. Some mornings I wake up and I just want to pry out my liver with a spoon and get myself a new one – and thanks to the researchers at the Institute for Regenerative Medicine, that dream is a possibility.

28 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
There are some products that offer depressing insight into the kind of marketplace we’re living in today. Sandwiches that use chicken for bread; drinks that give teenagers heart attacks; fixie bikes. But every now and then a product comes along that tells you it’s all going to be okay – and this, friends, is that product.

Marisol Valles, 20-year-old criminology student, recently became police chief of Guadalupe, one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico – because no-one else wanted the job. Guadalupe is second only to Juarez in terms of violence; Valles was “the only person willing to accept the position.”

You know that feeling when you get into the car after having a few too many? Don’t deny it, you know you have done it. You turn the corner and wham, there’s a road block! There is no adrenalin quite like that. So would it help if they did away with the drunk-driving laws?

THE INTERVARSITY BREWERY SHOWDOWN
20 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Feeling a little bit wonky… When their students aren’t quibbling over gay kissing, UCT and Stellenbosch University are waging beer war. And beer is most certainly worth waging war over. Consider these wise words of wisdom from greater men than I: “You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline […]
