The Perfect Tailgatting Companion for the Thinking Drinking Individual

The Clemson VS. Carolina baseball game was last Friday, and like always, I got together with a bunch of friends and we had a big time. Lots of beer, good food, great music, and the sunny 65 degree weather wasn't too bad either. I was probably four or five Redhook Ale's deep when one of my buddies girlfriends showed up with her dog Caroline, a back lab. I am a huge dog fan. I have three at home. However, I hate seeing dogs dressed up in tutus, sweaters, and rain jackets. If you have a dog that requires such accessories to survive in the oh so difficult life of padded beds, bacon strips, and fresh tuna for lunch, then you do not have a dog at all. You essentially have a "thing" with four legs, that probably yips and looks more suitable to be punted then petted. With this being said, I have come across the one dog accessory that every dog needs and that every dog owner, who has a dog, that actually is a dog, needs to get for their dog. It is the Bud Light Tailgate Approved "Tailgate Companion". Up until a month ago, I was unaware that you could actually buy the Tailgate approved merchandise until I was a bar downtown, TD's in Clemson, and Bud Light was having a promo night and giving away free stuff. At that time, I only knew of the Bud Light Grooler and the Bud Light Foozie. I did not they had a Bud Light" Tailgate Companion" or Dallas, my dog, would be the first one to sport such a stylish and ingenious outfit.

The Tailgate Companion is essentially a jacket that velcro's below the dogs neck and around the dogs waist. It is very sturdy and as long as you have not had to many PJ's and you put it on right, it fits very comfortable around the dog. And did I mention that it can hold up to eight beers. That is the magical part. One minute, I was stuffing my face with chicken, the next, I had what looked like a mini blue and back tank strapped down with eight beers rubbing up against my leg. Why yes, Caroline, as a matter of fact I do need another beer.

I recommend that if you have a dog, and you like to drink beer, you have got to check this thing out. It is perfect for any tailgating event and it is one hell of a conversation starter. So outfit yourself with Thinking Drinking Man merchandise, outfit your dog with the Bud Light "Tailgate Companion", and you have everything you need to have a good time.
