Let the beer monopoly end!
We know how frustrating it can be to try to keep your buzz going at a game, with the cost of a beer starting around $4 — if you’re lucky — for a cup about the size you’d leave a sample in at the doctor’s office. They won’t let you bring the stuff in and the idea of watching sports without some suds is about as appealing as peeling your fingernails back, so you don’t have much choice but to fork over the cash.
But now you can put an end to the monopoly — if you’re willing to walk around looking like Norm from “Cheers” for a few hours.
The Beer Belly is here and it’s the perfect way to smuggle beer into sporting events.
The contraption straps to your midsection with a sling, giving the appearance of a massive gut, but it’s really a polyurethane bladder that can be filled with your favorite brew.
The brainchild of Reno, Nev.-based Under Development, Inc., this removable spare tire holds 80 ounces of stealth beverage that you can drink with a hose similar to what you’d find on a hydration backpack.
And don’t worry about getting caught. The Beer Belly feels like a legitimate front pooch, even if you get frisked at the gate.
One suggestion, though: Don’t let anyone see you wearing it without a shirt. Think Frank Costanza sporting the “Bro” on Seinfeld.
Big Bucks for a Belly?
The Beer Belly costs $34.95 and another $9.95 will get you an Ice Pack Pleasure Extender, which sounds like something X-rated but is actually a way to keep the beverages inside of it hot or cold.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
