Gift like a god, drink like a king
Adulthood is marked by a shift in drinking habits. Boys sipping bottom-shelf swill become men who have acquired a taste for fine alcohols, but only after sprouting [no fewer than 15] chest hairs. Even if you and/or your friends haven't made the transition yet, don't fret. With the right gear, you can still drink well.
This holiday season, give the guys you care about the gift of a better drinking experience. Here's stuff that caters to every preference, be it beer, whiskey, wine, or cocktails. These are the tools to gift in anticipation of a better, boozier, and (hopefully) more mature future. Drink up (and consider hormone therapy if your chest hair needs a boost).
Plastic cups aren't acceptable drinking vessels post-grad, so give everyone on your list grown-up gear that makes drinking beer just as fun (or better) than it was in college.
Give your dad, boss, or buds tools that will last a lifetime so they can educate themselves, indulge, and imbibe to the fullest. Because drinking whiskey isn't just a phase -- it's a lifelong skill.
Good wine is a universally agreed upon way to impress parents and/or a date. Help your friends out with some totally mature, fancy-looking vino gear that makes Bacchus' nectar taste like gold, even if it came from a $5 bottle.
Newsflash: You don't need a bartending license to make cocktails at home. All you need is the right gadgets for muddling, zesting, measuring, and mixing. With the right tools, dreams of a signature cocktail (or just drinking a martini in your boxers) become a reality.
