Steinlager Pure is like the younger sibling that outshines their elder in every way.

Booze Review | Bavaria Dark 8.6ers are an atrocious drink, but at least they’re not a rip off
Posted 5:18pm Friday 19th August 2022 by Chug Norris
Some of the best things in life are free, but some of the worst things in life come in at 0.95 dollars per standard. It must be said: massive respect to Bavaria for being one of the few drinks other than goon that can consistently deliver golden ratio prices, but it has to be asked: is the misery Read more...

Over the break, some of our reporters decided to try a variety of purported hangover cures. Raw eggs, long runs, and black coffee: it’s all in here. What worked and what didn’t? We put our livers on the line to get to the truth. Black Coffee, Nicotine and a Cold Shower A Read more...
Hold the Cone:
Posted 6:47pm Sunday 29th May 2022 by Sean Gourley
The life cycle of a road cone in New Zealand is similar to our own life cycles. We are born in a place no one has heard of, we spend vast amounts of time sitting in the middle of nowhere doing next to nothing, and from time to time we get filled with alcohol and get absolutely smashed at parties.

Booze Review | Estrella Damm
Posted 7:05pm Sunday 29th May 2022 by Chug Norris
Estrella is a beer like no other – except every other beer in Europe. It is Spanish, it is mild like the Mediterranean climate, and for some reason every bottle is shaped like a wine bottle – probably to deceive the Spanish to believe they are still drinking a grape-based beverage. Read more...
