Chug That Bong

Beer bongs are the most well-known alcohol accessory. They can be seen at parties and even hanging in bars. Their design hasn’t changed much through the years as it still has the same basic make up: a funnel and a hose or any kind of tubing available. In the early days, a funnel was ordinarily attached to a hose around 3 feet long. Today, the tubing’s length can at times even stretch from a balcony to the garden. Beer bongs can be made at home or bought at a store. Certain stores even provide inflatable beer funnels for customers who have issues with storage.

There are different kinds of beer bongs. Some are simple (funnel and hose), while others have attachments for beer bottles. If you don’t want to buy or make a beer bong, the best alternative is to "shotgun" a can of beer. This is when you stab a hole in the bottom part of a can and drink the beer from it. Call it a mini beer bong. It doesn’t matter what kind of beer bong you use, the point is to drink it with speed and to get the beer down your throat as quickly as possible.

The reason why there are beer bongs and not vodka bongs or rum bongs is because beer contains around 3% to 12% alcohol. A typical spirit contains around 40% alchohol. A hard-liquor bong would be a terrifying thing indeed.

Beer bongs serve a double purpose: they treat the drinker to a satisfyingly fast beer rush, and they provide onlookers with an amusing sight. Crowds during beer bong drinking sessions tend to cheer the drinkers on. Just one beer bong can bring a party together. Just make sure that beer is the only thing that’s being poured down that funnel, otherwise the consequences might not be so pretty.
