Not that we advocate sneaking adult beverages into sporting events, but if you need to pack an extra 80 ounces of liquid on you, the Beer Belly is the way to do it. Fill the belly with your favorite lager and strap it on. A plastic tube and mouthpiece snake up the back of your shirt for easy access. Fear not, ladies, you can partake, too. Check out the Wine Rack for more information.

Everyone knows that beer pairs perfectly with chips, but why separate the two? Dig into a bowl of salty, thick-cut, kettle-style chips coated with sugar, honey, and salt. If you can only bring one item to a tailgate, bring these chips–they're all-in-one delicious. Branch out and try the margarita and Bloody Mary varieties as the season goes on.
