Today is the last day of 2009! I was happy to hear that taxi cabs in Hartford are FREE tonight! So there is absolutely no excuse for driving drunk tonight if you are out and about.
Me, I have decided to stay in where it's all warm and toasty and I don't have to pay for drinks (times are tough!). A few friends are coming over and I am hoping we won't be bothering our downstairs neighbors too much...but then again they can't get too angry - It's New Year's Eve!
Whatever you have planned for this New Year's eve, make sure it's extra special. Not only does tomorrow start a new decade, but tonight is also the first Blue Moon is 20 years - special special! :)
On behalf of everyone here at DrinkingStuff.com, we wish you a very Happy New Years - here's to you guys! Cheers :)

Christmas is Coming - Decorate your Beer Tree!
I came across this funny post while on Twitter and thought it was too awesome NOT to share! It is a collection of Christmas trees made out of beer cans, bottles, etc! Some of them are pretty cool...and I am sure they will look awesome in any college dorm or party house :)
Here's my favorite one:
You can get those fun Beer-Shaped lights at DrinkingStuff.com".
Also, while perusing the "Muff Slap" website (hahah!!!), I came across this amazing feature: Ask a Hot Chick. It's a forum for guys to ask a Hot Chick there deepest darkest questions about females :) Some of the questions and answers are hilarious! Check them out!

Our Favorite Winter-Time Beers and Beverages
Since it is chilly out now, there's nothing better than snuggling up by a fire with a sweet winter beer. Here's some great beers reviewed by us at DrinkingStuff.com - enjoy!
Maendy's favorite wintertime beer hands down is Hooker Nor'Easter Lager.
In my opinion it tastes like a spicy gingerbread cookie mixed with vanilla cake :) Drinking it just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and it definitely reminds me of winter. It's also not super thick, so you can drink more than one pint of it without feeling full. It is, in my opinion, the best tasting winter-time beer I have ever tried. But then again, I am a big fan of the Hooker Brewery, so I am biased!

Jason says, "If I want a beer, I'll order a Samuel Adams. Not only does it taste good, but it's brewed in Boston. I've always loved the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. Boston people also talk funny and it makes me laugh. Sam Adams is a wicked good beaaahhh! If you drink anything else, you're just retahded!"

Pete's favorite beer is Westvleteren 12. Although, because it is very hard (and expensive) to obtain, I will choose Rochefort 10 as my favorite beer for the winter. Both are Trappist ales (made by monks in Belgium) and have over 10% alcohol to keep me warm during the holidays.

Colleen says Sam Adams Winter is her favorite beer. She says, "Its so tasty I look forward to it all year!" Colleen also says Spiked Vanilla Egg Nog or Apple Cider are so festive too…and are sure to warm you up!

Tony loves Rogue XS Imperial India Pale Ale.
A SUPER Beer! And an excellent choice for winter! I enjoy the hop bitterness and FULL ON aroma. A bit much to drink from its 750ml ceramic bottle, a chilled or even room temp glass will suffice! I find that the closer the glass is to room temp, the indulgence that is this very bold flavor is intensified to hedonistic proportions. Goes well with most meat entree's, particularly beef or pork (especially with a pulled pork sandwhich).
Tony is also a fan of the Hot Toddy: Any hot or mulled cider with a splash of Makers Mark or any fine whiskey!

Lisa says, "I wait all year for Harpoon Winter Warmer. A dark copper ale with just the right blend of spices. Very smooth! A trip to Harpoon Brewery in Vermont or Boston is worth the trip to get this beer fresh!"

Chris says, "Hot Chocolate + Baileys Mint Chocolate = Yumm"
Adding Liquor to my seasonal obsession with hot chocolate has been kind of a winter tradition for the past couple of years. It started off when one of my friends gave me a bottle of pepper mint liquor for Christmas. I got the grand idea to add some to my hot chocolate and let me tell you it was like a small cup of paradise.
Chris says, "This year I set out to replenish my supply pepper mint goodness when I stumbled across Baileys Mint Chocolate. I had no idea that Baileys came in different flavors! I quickly pick up a bottle of both the Mint Chocolate and Caramel. Though both are absolutely amazing the Mint Chocolate was my favorite. I enjoy a small cup before I go to bed (Not every night). It warms you up from the inside out and you will melt once your body hit the sheets. So if you’re not a fan of cold winter nights and the holiday rush give it a try. I guarantee it will make the winter season much more enjoyable."

Tracy's favorite beer is Rohrbach’s own Vanilla Porter! She claims it's the best beer in Rochester, NY and gets you all nice and Toasty on those cold nights…
