Sometimes, you need liquor because you have a party to go to and you need to bring some sort of offering to say, “Thanks for having me, let’s imbibe together!” Other times, it’s simply Tuesday.
In either case, Amazon’s Prime Now feature will help you out. It now promises to bring members alcohol ― beer, wine, and/or spirits ― in two hours or less. Prime Now is currently available in over 30 areas coast-to-coast, but so far only 12 U.S. cities have the opportunity to get alcoholic deliveries in the under-two-hour mark (There’s even an option to expedite that to one hour, for $7.99 more).
According to Food & Wine, these 12 get-you-alcohol-in-less-time-than-it-takes-to-watch-“Titanic” cities are:
In the interim, it might be time to take a weekend trip to see a friend in one of those places. It’ll surely be a buzzy time.

Naga Chilli Vodka
Touted as the world's hottest vodka, Naga Chilli Vodka claims to be 250,000 scovilles ~hot~. Per the maker's product description, it's "so horrendous we suggest you don’t even purchase it." 🔥
The Mac & Cheese 'Shot'
Take your favorite age-old recipe -- macaroni, milk, Velveeta -- add some rum and be sure to keep out of reach of children.
Smoker's Cough
Smoking is bad for you. This vile shot, mixing Jägermeister with mayonnaise, can't be much better.
This is a pickled egg soaked in Jäger, then placed in a glass, which is then filled with more Jäger. Think very carefully: Is a pickled egg ever an ingredient in anything you've willingly consumed? It's an important question.
Three-Penis Liquor
Well, this gives a whole new meaning to "drinking the hard stuff." This cocktail, containing seal penis, deer penis and Cantonese dog penis, is believed to increase potency and virility in males, according to Foodbeast. Just make sure you chase this one down with a breath mint.
Scorpion Vodka
As if vodka needed a real edible Chinese-bred scorpion to sting the palate even more, you can use this vodka in a mixed drink or take it straight up. The eight-legged critter is said to "add a subtle woody taste." Yum.
Pizza Beer
It's not just a pizza with a beer. It's PIZZA BEER, like in your dreams. A Chicago brewery mixed together two consumer favorites to create this (prize winning?) epic combination.
Prairie Chicken
This gin, raw egg yolk and salt and pepper concoction is an alternative to the Prairie Oyster (bourbon, Tabasco sauce and a raw egg), though they both sound awful.
Beer & Milk (Horse Jizz)
50% beer, 50% milk -- 100% terrible. Two ingredients never meant to be mixed and a drink that should never be uttered.
Snake Bile Wine
Get yourself a live cobra, cut him open, remove his gallbladder and extract the sweet, sweet bile. Mix that with rice wine and serve to anyone who enjoys harnessing the power of cobra bile.
Tapeworm Shot
All you need is vodka, Tabasco sauce and a squeeze from a mayonnaise bottle. Though, really, "Squeeze from a mayonnaise bottle" is easily the worst five-word phrase in history.
Kumis/Arkhi
Unless you're the Dude, a milk-based beverage probably isn't going to be your drink of choice most nights. Not so for the horsemen of central Asia. A traditional dairy drink (made of fermented mare's milk) that's been enjoyed for centuries, kumis has been compared to drinkable yogurt.
Infected Whitehead Shot
The name alone might make you pass out. Simply swirl vodka with a Bloody Mary mix and a spoonful of cottage cheese, and do your best to hold it down.
The Sourtoe Cocktail
Are you up for a sip made of Yukon Gold whiskey and a MUMMIFIED HUMAN TOE? The Downtown Hotel in Dawson City, Yukon, has made a name for itself with this cocktail. To get the full experience, patrons are encouraged to let the toe touch their lips as they finish the morbid beverage.
The Kim Jong Un Nuclear Bomb
What better way to stick it to the North Korean dictator than to throw the most American of food items into a blender -- precisely, 1 Big Mac, 1 McDonald's large fries, 1 McDonald's tangy BBQ sauce, 1 McDonald's milk shake (all flavors) and 1 McDonald's apple pie -- with vodka?!
This concoction is the artistic statement of James Gilpin and isn't sold in stores, sadly. Gilpin takes the urine of two elderly diabetic patients daily, extracts the high sugar content, then uses that sugar in the fermentation of whisky production.
Affluent Americans may want to double-check how much of their bank deposits are protected by government-backed insurance. The rules governing trust accounts just changed.
Former NBA guard Darius Morris has died at the age of 33. He played for five teams during his four NBA seasons. Morris played college basketball at Michigan.
Teams have made their big splashes in free agency and made their draft picks, it's time for you to do the same. It's fantasy football mock draft time. Some call this time of year best ball season, others know it's an opportunity to get a leg up on your competition for when you have to draft in August. The staff at Yahoo Fantasy did their first mock draft of the 2024 season to help you with the latter. Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens are here to break it all down by each round and crush some staff members in the process.
It’s key to note that we’re not saying the “best team” or “best roster.” Instead, we’re talking about the best confluence of factors that can outline a path for survival and then success.
With free agency and the draft behind us, what 32 teams look like today will likely be what they look like Week 1 and beyond for the 2024 season. Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski reveal the post-draft fantasy power rankings. The duo break down the rankings in six tiers: Elite offensive ecosystems, teams on the cusp of being complete mixed bag ecosystems, offensive ecosystems with something to prove, offenses that could go either way, and offenses that are best to stay away from in fantasy.
