Now that spring has finally arrived, we think there's no better way to enjoy the warm weather than by taking in a baseball game. But when it comes to quenching your thirst while rooting for the home team, there's a problem: The concession-stand beer is overpriced, and often tastes like it was brewed when Joe DiMaggio was still playing.
There was no other option in this no-coolers-allowed world, but now a Reno, Nevada company has come up with a truly innovative solution: The Beerbelly (http://thebeerbelly.com/) -- astealthy strap-on beer holder that disguises itself as a bulging stomach.
According to the Ananova Web portal, the Beerbelly was the creation of three middle-aged men who wanted a way of sneaking beer into movies and ball games.
The Beerbelly holds 80 ounces of your favorite brew, and at $34.95, the gizmo pays for itself when compared to consuming six ballpark beverages at $7 a pop, the inventors claim.
But hey, why stop at only the first phase of the beer-drinking life cycle? How about a PeeBottom? We've already come up with a slogan: "Lose the bathroom trip and gain a warm place to sit!"

I've got something along the same idea as this. Its called a camelpak and i used it at T in the Park. Its great for anything thats not fizzy but anything like beer, cider or coke tends to come out of the tube as mostly froth. Oh well that just means il have to fill it with vodka and orange next time!

Looks like a great idea, but somehow I just can't imagine myself drinking beer through a straw, but I'll try anything once. Many years ago I was drinking whisky and water from a Ribena tin, in my top jacket pocket, through a straw, when dressed up on a float, wearing a paper machie head during Wick gala. It tasted fantastic at the time, even better as the night wore on.
