Thank me later

Everyone's had this problem, it's a hot day, you want a cold beer so you go get one but 15 minutes later it's hardly ice cold. Let's face it, a stubby holder just won't cut it yet what options does a regular guy have for keeping his bottled beverage chilled? Well, strap yourself in while I show you how to make your own beer cooler out of stuff you've got lying around.

You will need an icepack, I don't know what size it should be, get one that's big enough.




















A container that's almost as tall and twice the diameter of your beverage of choice, having a handle helps too, as you'll see.





















Crush your (frozen) icepack until it's more or less flat then curl it into a 'C' shape and fit it into the outside of your container like so. If you've used a bag of frozen water, you're an idiot and this won't work, crush the ice, shove it in the cup and rest your bottle on top, pulling it out for every swig like a poofy Frenchman with a champagne bottle, poof.

If you've followed my instructions you should have something that looks like this.

Top view, note the 'C' shape and tight fit of the bottle, this is good:



















Side view:




















Grab the handle and enjoy your ice cold beer, the adoration of any nearby women and the envy of your mates.





















Enjoy.




















"You can make a beer cooler? That's sooooo sexy! Take us home now!"
