THE STADIUM SIPPER’S ECONOMIC PUZZLE
This is our favorite image of all from the Stadium Sipper’s site:
Hmm…what shall we pour into the Stadium Sipper? These two Bud Lights? This Montrachet 1978 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti? 20 shots of Jager? You’re right, Ed. The Montrachet don’t go with the stadium popcorn at all. Go with the Jager, and we’ll save the wine for the cold chicken fingers at the after-tailgate.
Holly suggested taking one seat filled with Jager Jameson and Irish Cream in, and one with Guinness, and then car bombing the entire section. That would work, you’d need ten for beer and one for Jager to make it work out correctly, and who’s going to do that when you could just have twenty stadium seats full of Jager?
Another idea we wanted to foist on security would be filling the stadium seat with something entirely non-beverage related, like delicious peppered sawmill gravy or a molecular gastronomy creation like liquefied marrow. Hand it out like shots at a game (preferably an insanely hot one,) and when security comes to throw you out, calmly explain that it’s not booze, but instead is tasty homemade gravy you’re sharing with the public for free out of the kindness of your heart. They might throw you out for just being cheeky, but you could say you were tossed out for handing out free hot gravy at a 90 degree football game, and that’s something you can tell your grandkids (to disturb them, and therefore leave creepy old you alone to watch your favorite show, McGillicuddy, or “An Elderly Paul Rudd Fights Young Criminals With the Assistance of a Sassy Rapping Cyborg.”
(All that said, the deluxe kit is 40 bucks, people. Pounce, consumer!)

SWVa Hoo in DC says:
Surely the seasoned drinkers around these parts recognize false advertisement when they see it — 750mL does not 20 shots make; rather, it falls just short of 17 shots. For on-the-go shot calculations, use 44mL as your shot unit. At any rate, drinking an entire Sippin’ Seat full of your favorite booze will most certainly leave your unit shot. HEY-O!
Also, if you’re near a computer, you can just google “X shots” and it will return your mL measurement as the first hit. The google calculator people are rendering my shot calculating savantism thoroughly obsolete.

Stadium Sipper works well on the job too. I no longer have to hide my bottle of Jack under catalogs in the bottom desk drawer.
Thanks to Stadium Sipper, my job has gone from “sucks” to “I just don’t give a shit anymore”

I see from the product description that it can, “support 300+ lbs” so this should be perfectly fine for our spherical cousins from Tennessee and West f”ing Virginia.

I don’t know how y’all missed the WineRack Flask-Bra, another product offered on the same website:
http://www.papabert.com/WineRack/Papa-Bert-WineRack-Flask-Bra.asp
With a product description like this: “Better than a boob job, and cheaper too! … Sporting the WineRack will even give Pamela Anderson a run for her money. The WineRack has been featured in PlayBoy (which means it must be good) and has been featured on TV and in the news,” I can hardly say no.

Pffft. That flask bra is for amateurs. In my day we stuffed ours with Jack-filled ziploc bags, AND WERE GRATEFUL TO HAVE THEM. (uphill. in the snow. both ways.)

Im dissapointed in you guys
I had something just like that a year ago! Hell I used it in Atlanta twice both times filled with Jim Beam. Whiskey not tainted by the state of Tennessee of course. First time we drank to beating Clemson then….well the other game in Atlanta doesn’t matter, but we were hammered.

Holly, I had a date once that learned the hard way not to put 151 in the ziplocs. Eats right through the plastic. But then her breasts were covered in rum, so how could the night go badly???

Leavitt Town says:
A friend of mine duct taped 24 cans of budlight around his stomach for a game. I there was a pic on college humor sooo long ago if it.
Another game I had to throw out 10 cans. (2 in each cargo pocket, 2 in each front pocket, and one in each back pocket) This maneuver coupled with large baggy jersey worked for 4 straight games. Luckily I was allowed to enter the stadium as the security were more baffled and humored that I had ten beer cans in my pockets then they were angry.
Now I just go with 2 in the back pockets. Never been caught with just that combo.

For both thrift and simplicity, I usually filled ziplocs with everclear and made the female companion tape them to her legs. Ninjanuity at it’s best.

I had one of these for the 2007 season and thought it supremely sucked. The foam in the cushion is not built very sturdily and by the end of the season I had removed the bladder portion and was just sticking it down my pants with the tube coming out my fly. I would pour a drink and then it looked like I was pissing into the cup. I had lots of gasp looks from unbeknown freshmen girls in the student section at UGA.
But then again, that may have been more due to the fact that I am almost 8 years out of college and still sitting there acting like a complete buffoon

By happy coincidence, just this week I was wrestling with whether $40 was an excessive fee for bolting a rented seat at the Swamp. Well FUCK and THAT; I shall order the deluxe kit post haste.
Follow up question: any suggestion for what to fill it with for the Vols game?

I once saw a man in a wheelchair being pushed into Churchill Downs in a wheelchair w/ a blanket over his lap. When he got inside, he hopped up and tapped the pony keg that had been stored in the specially crafted seat of the wheelchair. That my friends, is exactly the type of ingenuity that is going to lead America back to the top!

You’d best price that Montrachet before swilling it at a football game.
I had the great fortune of buying a case of mixed, 1978 red Burgundies at liquidation prices in the mid-80’s. I drank them all quickly, of course. But today, I’d be a thousandaire if I’d cellared them.

Unfortunately, the beer belly is no longer marketed in Lower Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Southern Ohio and all of WVA due to the simple fact that all male football fans already have one au natural.

First observed smuggling: circa ‘84 – young coed used saline bottle to transmit a liquid substance sprayed into her stadium Coke. Followed by 8 million people using ziploc bags and/or surgical tubing in Jacksonville, FL. The stadium smelled like strong whiskey for crying out loud.

Ahhhh rookies…we had a roll of this plastic tubing, wed cut off 1 ft lengths, heat-seal the end, pour in the booze, and then seal the other end. Only on rare occasions where there any leaks, and never any problems, since you could just put it in your dress sock. About 3-4 of those bad boys and you were toast.
