Joel over at Boing Boing Gadgets found the perfect piece of shwag, this USB drive filled with beer! Well even if it is just colored liquid with that foams, this USB drive is way cool. You too can be the talk of the trade show. CNK promotions will slap your logo on a few as 250 of these tipsy drives.

For the final drink in our limoncello series (sponsored by Caravella) we choose a twist on the classic Bellini. This one adds a tangy twist, perfect to get the holidays going.

Caravella Bellini

1 ounce Caravella Limoncello
½ ounce peach schnapps
Champagne or sparkling wine
Peach slice

Drop a peach slice in a champagne flute or wine glass. Pour Caravella and schnapps over the peach, filling glass about halfway. Top with chilled champagne or sparkling wine and serve immediately.

For a beautiful mimosa update, skip the peach slice and add a splash of OJ instead. Garnish with fresh strawberry or blueberries.

The guys at Asylum found this Presidential Debate Drinking Game created by the team at Coed Magazine. Beware this focuses on buzz words, so you could get rather tipsy. The took about 2 dozen buzz words, such as Terrorist, Hurricane, the Economy and put them in the one, two and three drink categories.

Asylum added a few of their own. Our favorites:

- Drink every time a candidate compares “the folks on Wall Street” to the “folks on Main Street.”
- Drink if you mistake Sarah Palin for Tina Fey impersonating Sarah Palin.

Not to be left on the side lines, DOTW’s addition to this game

- Every time a candidate refers to “Joe Six Pack”, drink, well - a six pack! Of course, not that fancy micro-brewed or, god forbid, imported beer, it has to be good old cheap American brew. Olympia, PBR, or Busch will do just fine.

The makers of my beloved Newcastle Brown Ale want to send you to the Glastonbury Music Festival in England!

Why?

Because, who doesn’t like a rock show in a small English town with a mystical past?

Glastonbury is said to be the burial place of King Aurthur. The whole area’ known as the “Isle of Avalon”, is over looked by the Glastonbury Tor, a tall hill topped with a medieval tower. Way cool. I climbed it, amazing.

Back to the contest. Four luck winners will win concert tickets, airfare, hotel accommodations and spending money to attend the 2009 Festival with a guest of their choice. 10 runner-up winners win a custom Newcastle Brown Ale-branded Michael Kelly guitar. Just because.

To enter the sweepstakes mail in entry forms can be found at stores Nationwide. Sorry, no internet entries. Maybe next year.

The NFL and College Football are back in full swing. Here’s a few cocktails to celebrate.

I know we really don’t cover tech news, but this is to good to pass up. This iphone app, available at iTunes for $2.99, turns your handset into a virtual beer mug.

The application mimics the movements of a typical beer mug. Chug, and it drains. Jiggle it and it will spill. We recommend sipping.

iBeer has no real useful application that we could find. Still, we see it as a bar ice breaker, so maybe $3 is a bargain?
