If you’re going to binge on whiskey, why not put the source of your drinking on the shot glass itself? All those hours spent playing ancient Atari games without a shred of progress kicking Asteroid ass could drive anyone to drink. If you prefer to drown your gaming sorrows in some other type of liquid, you can always use these.

Did you see the movie Angels & Demons? If so, you probably know something about ambigrams (and crappy storylines). Basically, ambigrams are words that can be read as one or more words from a number of different angles. In this case, the shot glass reads “drink” when upright, and “drunk” when turned over. Too bad this didn’t turn over and say “projectile vomiting” last night. Am I right?

Earn a few points for presentation the next time your pour a shot with the ElectraPour. When the liquor passes through the device, it activates an interior LED that illuminates the stream as it makes its way to the glass.

Drinking done correctly is as much about the experience as it is the buzz. The Winestein and Bombs Away Shot Glasses are made for pure fun, one of the few times the alcohol will take a back seat to how they are served.
The Winestein is made for those people who enjoy the manly feel of a beer mug but prefer the taste of fermented grapes. Not only is the glass a bit more manly, but it is also much easier to hold onto that mug handle than the delicate stem of a wine glass.The Bombs Away shot glasses pictured below are meant for one thing and one thing only: to down shot after shot while making shrill whistling noises like there is incoming artillery. Drinking out of these glasses is so much fun it may be one of the few times you can get those teetotallers to join you.
Homer’s quotation on the flask has it just about right: alcohol is the cause of and solution to all of life’s problems. As you enjoy each shot, you can use a different shot glass—each of which has Homer with a different expression (although those expressions look more of the “causing problems” variety rather than the “solutions”).

These two Pirates of the Caribbean shot glasses have a little something for everyone. The women would obviously take Johnny Depp just because they find him attractive. And half the men would take Davy Jones because men like gross things in general. The other half of the men probably just prefer men that don’t have beards consisting of tentacles. Although that could change after a few shots.

Pour a shot into these little lava lamp replicas and they light up. Pound it down and the light goes out. That makes it very easy to find out who is just acting the poser in the drinking department, all you have to do is notice whose light stays lit for far too long.
