This Is How You Pack a Cooler for a Tailgate

The season of the pigskin has arrived, a time when a cold drink in one’s hand and a desperate, often-misplaced hope that this year is gonna be the year for your squad are the orders of the day.

That’s right: it’s tailgatin’ time, and whether you’re going full Bills Mafia in the stadium lot or just cooking out for a group of fans at home, chances are that transporting some suds ‘n’ sustenance is gonna be part of the plan. Enter the cooler, invented by one Richard C. Laramy of Joliet, Illinois in 1951, which has been keeping brewskis (and other stuff) ice-cold ever since.

Every Oasis Song, Ranked

As a public service, we’ve ranked every single original Oasis song with some kind of commercial release (no covers, thanks) — except whatever we forgot. But it should all be here. Not all of this stuff is essential. Some of it is quite crap. (The really good stuff is in the top 50 or so.) But sometimes the great and the crap exist in the same Oasis song, side by side. So let’s listen up, slip inside the eye of your mind and don’t go away. This is every Oasis song, ranked.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
We won’t begrudge you your daily coffee. But if you’re trying to kick the habit without losing the pick-me-up, we have two words for you: Monster Energy. Yes, you heard us right. Contrary to popular belief, ounce for ounce, the ubiquitous energy drink has half the caffeine of ordinary joe (plus nutrients your body will thank you for, like B vitamins and taurine). And instead of light or dark roast, there are flavors for all palates, including the tasty Original Monster Energy.

The YouTube Guide to Cocktails

Happy (early) birthday, YouTube. To celebrate the site’s 20th anniversary, we present: The InsideHook Guide to YouTube, a series of creator profiles, channel recommendations and deep dives about the viral, controversial, unstoppable video-sharing giant. 

Not all YouTube cocktail channels are created equal. If done wrong, your pint of Old Fashioned with invisible bitters will go viral, and not in a good way.

But the site is also full of real bartenders who can not only show you how to make your favorite drinks but also offer up cocktail history, glassware suggestions and riffs on boozy classics. If you know what you’re looking for and can find some trusted sources, YouTube essentially serves as a free master class in home bartending, hosted by an array of affable drinks pros.

IN THE NEWS

After the travel boom, “sleep tourism” and “slow tourism” are on the rise.

The residential solar industry is evolving — and getting more accessible.

Nate Bargatze showed off golf’s chaotic side on SNL.

The Educated Barfly Hates the Video That Made Him Famous

Leandro DiMonriva started bartending in Los Angeles the way I expect a lot of bartenders get into it there — as a way to make money and bide their time in-between auditions. But DiMonriva did something that I expect very few people do: monetized his bartending skills through a YouTube channel that now has more than 450,000 subscribers.

His channel, The Educated Barfly, teaches people bartending techniques like shaking and stirring, provides foolproof cocktail recipes, and even gives some product reviews, like the best molds for making clear ice. And just like many great bartenders, DiMonriva’s charming personality makes his channel very easy to watch and love.
