I would think that if the bottle was well protected, as they would be in these, this could be worked around, no? It seems that a bottle in one of these makes much more sense than pouring the bottle into a plastic cup, and leaving half full bottles just a few feet away, as security wanted us to do last year.

the good thing about them:
The beer tabs won't break off while you are talking to a hot chick... quite embarrassing and has previously occurred using the little badge clip to hold up two beers...

Maybe these neck beer thingies could be the badge.

While that would be nifty, uhhh... they're not THAT affordable. At the idividual prices, they go for about $12 each, or $15 with the hip clip. Even in bulk, I don't think that's quite feasible. But... you could clip your badge to it!

Hell yeah....Mickey's Big Mouth. Cuz if the beer doesn't come out of a regular bottle fast enough you have a SERIOUS alcohol problem.

Many, many years ago I drank them because they were easy to lob like a grenade and made pretty good improvised skeet.

You are going to need a chiro-cracker after putting one of those around your neck. And they look... like the kind of accessory that would go with a....butt pack.

Beer bottles aren't very heavy... especially considering that they don't stay full for long. ;-)

Also, you can get the deluxe version for a small additional fee, that includes a hip clip.

As for style, if it involves beer, it is stylish. Frat house rules.

End of line.

Well, I did mean short but we can do a shirt. I expect it would probably be less expensive that way anyhow. If we were to do this, how would we go about getting the "appropriate" avatars since we will need hi res art? And who is going to decide which avatars get used?

sounds like this should be in a new thread... :/
hmmm... actual avatar size probably wouldn't be a good idea. It would end up looking like a stamp collection shirt...
(though if my avatar is 'chosen' I have it in some super high res... as seen here:
