Do a paint-by-number.

For people who love to sit down with paint and a brush but aren’t particularly artistic, paint-by-numbers are a fun alternative to blank canvases. They come with all the paints you’ll need, brushes and a ready-made picture with numbers to correspond with the paints. Even if you’re a little tipsy, these are super fun and can be challenging if you pick the right one. Invite a few friends over to paint or do other projects with you. You’ll create a beautiful piece of art for your home and have fun doing it.

Organize your closet.

We could all use this time to bring some organization into our homes. Pour yourself a glass of vino and start with the closet. Pour another and find all the lids for your storage containers. Invite your friends and family to pick through your closet for items they want and maybe return the favor. By the end, you’ll have a more organized house and a nice buzz.

Plant something.

You don’t need much. A little potting soil, some seeds and sunny spot. A little time in the sunshine digging in the soil does the mind and body good. Research what kinds of flowers or herbs grow best in your climate and how often to feed and water them. Then sit back with a cold wine spritzer (or Budlight Seltzer) and watch them sprout and grow!

Flowers are therapeutic to grow and make your home look and smell fresh.

Start a blog or journal.

Not every one likes the thought of sitting down and writing out their thoughts. But it can be a very therapeutic process, especially when you’re anxious or have a lot on your mind. Drink a glass of wine before you sit down to write to relax you and get the juices flowing. Then just start writing. Even if it’s not Stephen King grade, you might find out a little about yourself and release some stress in the process.

Take a bath.

Nothing quite beats a glass of deep red wine and a warm bath. Dump in that anti-bacterial hand soap to make yourself feel better and sip something while you soak your worries away. Throw in some epsom salts to soothe any sore muscles and remove toxins. Pour your partner a glass too and relax in the tub together.

Enjoy the down time in your home with the ones you love- and a little bit of wine.

Luckily these days companies like Truly and even Budweiser have taken into account the vast majority of people who work hard on their bodies and also want to occasionally go hard in the paint. 

Hard seltzer is the newest addition to the alcohol scene. We’ve all been drinking seltzer anyway- that guilt-free carbonated greatness- and now we can sip it with alcohol at the end of a long day without worrying about gaining a few pounds of bloat in the process.

Lots of companies have jumped on the hard seltzer bandwagon and all boast pretty much the same stats: 100 calories per can, lots of carbonated flavors and a minimal amount of carbs and sugar. Budweiser has created their own line of Budlight Seltzers in a variety of fun flavors that taste great and won’t kill your calories for the day. They’re made with fermented fruit alcohol which is cleaner than even the most common low-cal cocktails.

For a while, you could only buy hard seltzers in the grocery store or gas station, but now thankfully bars and clubs have stocked up and you can order a Truly or Budlight seltzer almost anywhere. A whole new culture has begun in the wake of these light beverages and quite ingeniously pulled gym rats from their eight o’clock bedtimes and back into the fun.

What a time to live in. No more summer pool parties worrying about alcohol bloat. No more skipping dinner for those whiskey calories. Hard seltzer goes hard for your body and tastes delicious too. 

So go hard.

1.THE BEER BONG

A staple for every fraternity house, the beer bong is just a funnel with a tube to better facilitate your drinking. Because of the tube, the beer is forced down your throat by gravity, making it easier to chug. It is also up to the person pouring how much or how little you’re getting, so make sure you trust the person on the other end.

2. HIDDEN FLASKS

Perfect for drinking on the beach or at that family reunion you didn’t want to go to, there’s a type of flask for every occasion. There are flipflop flasks, hallowed out book flasks, tampon flasks and the good old fashioned ones you can put in your pocket. They make for less waste (just fill it from the bottle instead of using plastic cups) and a more discreet way to sip your drink uninterrupted.

3. SHOWER WINE HOLDER

We all know the story- you’re drinking a glass of wine and want to take a shower. So, you set your glass down on the side of the tub but it gets slick with water and spills all over the bathmat. Now you’re naked and cleaning up wine. Not relaxing. Thankfully now we have shower wine holders. They suction to your shower wall and hold most sizes of wine glasses. Put them up high for showers and down low for baths. Your drink stays where you put it and is easy-to-reach.

4. THE BEER HELMET

A true testament to the American spirit, beer helmets were created so you could drink two beers while watching sporting events, leaving your hands free for wings and chips. The helmet sits on your head, complete with a straw that moves the liquid straight to your mouth with ease. No more sauce prints on your beer bottles!

5. TWIST-OFF TOPS

This is one we sometimes take for granted. Back in the day, you needed a bottle opener for every beer you drank. Unless you were great at popping of bottle caps on your tooth or with a lighter, there was no getting around it. The twist-off cap was invented in the 1960s and changed the way we opened bottles forever. Budweiser even makes a screw-on cap that you can seal between sips to eliminate spillage and keep your beer fresh!

Thankfully, there are a myriad of hacks to help you enjoy some adult beverages without ruining your diet. Here are our favorite low-carb cocktails:

1. Hard Seltzer

Hard seltzer is the alcohol created for the low-carb community. With only 2g of carbs and 1g of sugar per can, this is a delicious way to wind down guilt-free at the end of a long day. Budlight makes a great hard seltzer in a variety of flavors and all are made with cane-sugar alcohol which is healthier than the alternatives. Great to drink chilled by the pool showing off your summer bod.

2. Tequila

Tequila is a low-carb liquor that even the Rock enjoys drinking. As long as you don’t mix it with any sugary juice, it can be consumed in moderation without derailing your diet. Here’s a lovely little keto cocktail you can order anywhere or make at home.

6oz sugar free soda or fruity seltzer
2 oz white tequila
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
ice cubes
salted rim

3. Wine

Wine is a great choice if you’re actively trying to reduce the amount of carbs and sugar in your diet. What type you should choose depends on your goals.

If you’re concerned about insulin or blood sugar spikes, stick with dry reds like merlot. It is unlikely to significantly affect blood sugar levels and usually has less than 2g total carbs per glass. If you’re already pretty fit or maintaining, even a sweet glass of Riesling clocks in at about 4g carbs.

So have a glass and check yourself out in the mirror, hottie.

4. Vodka-Soda

Vodka-soda is the unsung hero of having fun while keeping your habits in check. Vodka is a zero-carb ally with only about 70 calories per 2.5oz shot. Combined with 0-calorie soda water and a few limes, this is the perfect mixture to give you a little fun without the worry later. Add a little Stevia to sweeten it and some mint leaves for a classic Mo-keto!

5. Low-Carb Beer

You already gave up cookies but you don’t have to give up a cold beer on a hot day. In the wave of low-carb and keto options come a host of beers that boast great hops taste with less carbs. One of the best options is Budweiser Select 55. It has 99 calories and only 3g of carbs per bottle. Crack open a cold one while you examine your abs coming in.

Alcohol in moderation can be a great compliment to your low-carb or keto diet. So stop worrying and enjoy your body in whatever shape its in.

With summer around the corner and wanderlusty Instagram photos clogging up your newsfeed, it makes sense that now would be the time to take a trip with some family and/or friends. However, this might beg the question: what is the best way to get some quality boozing in on this trip without breaking the bank? Fear not, avid reader, we have the answers right here for you. Whether you’re doing a romantic European escapade or a good ol’ fashioned American roadtrip, the solution to your booze-related problems are listed below for your viewing pleasures.

1. *Don’t* be afraid to look up the best local bars and Happy Hour deals

Depending on which city you’re in (or if you’re in a city at all), it’s well worth it to try to find the local watering hole to get a sense of not only the locale but also to really experience that ~culture~ you’ve been raving about to your friends back home. Not only is it worth it to look for Happy Hour deals at these bars, but look into any coupons or freebies that might be circulating around the internet, you never know what deals you might run into! Nothing beats a good two-for-one deal.

2. Grocery stores are your best friends

There is no better way to figure out the local drink of choice than surveying the grocery store aisles for whatever is most in stock/is cheaper than what you would find at home. Pretty much everywhere will have something unique to your location, not to mention that this will be much cheaper than trying to get the same thing in a bar or club, which leads me to my other point!

3. Pregame the club!

Whether you’re with a big group or it’s just you and a few friends, it isn’t hard to either meet new people or gather your squad for a bit of predrinking before you hit up the city’s famous bar or club. Chances are you’ll get to save some cash with either your Happy Hour deals on drinks and grocery store alcohol to make the club cover a much more manageable fee to fork out, not to mention you don’t have to immediately get to the bar to get a drink. It’s a win-win! Unless

4. Invest in a really, really good cooler

If you’re taking the “lovel Mother Nature” route while engaging in your travels, you probably don’t need to be told twice to invest in a quality cooler to keep those brewskis icy cool for your camping/glamping trip. The trick to making this budget friendly is that it already is! Making sure to get the value pack of canned/bottled/boxed drinks is your best bet here, and making sure these stay nice and chilled will ensure your boozy budget travels are as fun as your Instagram makes them out to be.

Happy travels, booze-lovers and budget backpackers!

Sometimes, it’s nice to mix a pregame up with a few new drinking games. Here are some that you’re almost guaranteed to have never heard of, so get ready to learn some new ones and drink up! Who said that pregaming couldn’t be educational?

1. Most Likely

As one of the most straightforward and revealing games, “Most Likely” is a fun one to figure out what you’re friends think of you. Taking turns in a circle, a person will say something like “Who is most likely to KTFO before we get to the club?” and everyone in the circle in turn points at whoever they think would be most likely to do that thing. The number of fingers pointing at you determines how many drinks/shots/seconds you drink for. Good luck staying sober for long!

2. Straight Face

This game requires some slips of paper and pens. Everyone writes a ridiculous sentence on a slip of paper (be as explicit or corny as you wish), folds the paper, and puts the paper in a pile in the middle of a table/floor/whatever. One by one, members of the circle pick up a piece of paper and read the sentence while trying to keep a straight face. Whoever cracks a smile or laughs first has to take a drink! Keep going until everyone is busting a gut for a guaranteed great evening.

3. I’m Going to the Bar

This game is a game of memory. Similar to “I’m Going on a Picnic,” in a circle, someone starts by saying, “I’m going to the bar, and I’m ordering a *insert drink here*.” The next person, then, is required to say the original drink, plus another i.e. “I’m going to the bar, and I’m ordering a rum-coke and a GT.” This continues around the circle until someone messes up the drinks, at which point they take a shot/drink. Be warned: this game can devolve very quickly depending on how far into the pregame/party you are!

4. Medusa

One of the easier games is “Medusa.” In this game, everyone sits in a circle staring at the table/floor. Designate a person to do a countdown, and once given the signal, everyone looks up at someone at the table. Whoever makes eye contact with someone else at the table has to take a drink/shot! Though you don’t get turned to stone in this game, there is a definite potential for high intake.

5. Edward 40 Hands

This game is one of the more brutal games, involving 2 40s of beer per person and some duct tape. To play, open the 40s and tape to the participants’ hands. The participants are barred from checking their phone/using the bathroom/doing literally anything until the 40s are finished and the duct tape removed. Think it sounds simple? It is. Think it sounds fun? Just wait and see.

As always, drink up and have a great time! These drinking games can make a good pregame a great pregame, or at least give you some great Snapchats of people with 40s taped to their hands.

5 Best Drinking Games for any Great Pregame

1. Never Have I Ever

Rules: In a circle, take turns saying “Never have I ever…” and then say something you’ve never done (i.e. “Never have I ever gone streaking”). Anyone who has done that thing (in this case, someone who has gone streaking) takes a drink! This is a quick game to find out how much you really know about your friends.

2. Twenty One (Cheers to the Governor)

Starting off with one, take turns in a circle counting off until the number “21.” Whoever says the number 21 is allowed to institute a new rule for counting (i.e. switch the numbers 7 and 14 while counting, so the count will go 1-2-3-4-5-6-14-8 etc.). As the game progresses, the rules become more complicated (“at number 18, impersonate the person to your left”), and every time a rule is broken, everyone has to take a drink! This game is a super quick one for a good buzz.

3. Linked

This game requires a deck of cards. Keep the cards facedown and distribute the deck evenly amongst everyone present. The first person flips over their top card, followed by the second person. If their cards’ suit OR number matches, both people must drink for the number on their individual cards. For example, if person A drew a 7 of hearts and person B drew an ace of hearts, person A drinks for 7 seconds and person B drinks for 14 seconds while everyone else counts them down. Person C would then flip their card, and if they drew a “heart” card, or drew an ace, persons A, B, and C would all drink, all being “linked.” Cards are continually drawn in a circle until the deck is finished! The cards and their respective times are as listed: 2-10 = 2 seconds – 10 seconds, J = 11 seconds, Q = 12 seconds, K = 13 seconds, and A = 14 seconds. Drink up!

4. King’s Cup (Ring of Fire)

This game also requires a deck of cards and a large cup. Spread the cards in a circle facedown around the cup. Each person playing, then, draws a card and follows its assigned rule. Whoever messes up the rules takes a drink! The game ends when the last card is pulled or the “King’s Cup” is empty. Card rules are as follows:

Ace: Waterfall. Every player starts drinking at the same time as the person to the left, and

can only stop when the person to their left stops.

Two: You. Point at another person and they have to take a drink.

Three: Me. Person who pulls this card takes a drink.

Four: Floor. Everyone reaches down to the floor, the last person to touch the floor takes a drink.

Five: Guys. All of the guy players take a drink.

Six: Chicks. All of the lady players take a drink.

Seven: Heaven. All players put their hands up, last person to do so takes a drink.

Eight: Mate. Whoever drew the card gets to pick another person to drink every time they do, this continues until the next eight is drawn.

Nine: Rhyme. Whoever drew the card says a word, and other players have a limited amount of time to say a rhyming word. Whoever cannot think of a rhyming word must drink.

Ten: Never have I ever. Everyone at the table puts up three fingers, and plays never have I ever (see drinking game #1 for rules).

Jack: Make your own rule. Whoever draws the card may create a rule of their choosing. Personal favorites are “remove the little man from your cup before drinking” (everyone pretends to take a little man off of their cup every single time they go to take a drink) and “put your chin on the table if you say a swear word” (if someone drops an f*** bomb they keep their chin to the table until the next person swears). The rule continues until the next Jack is drawn.

Queen: Question master. Whoever draws can ask questions, and whoever answers has to take a drink. This continues until another question master is established.

King: King’s cup. Whoever draws this card pours some of their drink into the King’s Cup. When the last card is drawn, that player has to finish the cup, ending the game.

5. Paranoia

This one is fun to find out what your friends really think of you. The rules are that the person to your right (or left) will whisper to you a question, the answer of which question will be someone in the room (i.e. “who is the most annoying person in this room”). You then respond with that person’s name out loud (or point). If anyone wants to know what the question was, they have to take a drink. Be careful what you drink for!
