Happy third of July to America the booze-iful. Hope everyone’s plans for tomorrow involve plenty of local craft beer, fireworks, flags and food. In preparation for the 4th and the festivities that follow we’ve included stories about grilling, booze-filled desserts, and fireworks gone hilarious, also a quick bite about how to make pizza cones, because nothing says American like deliciously bastardizing a traditional food into something that should be served at a carnival.

10 Commandments of Grilling
Here are my 11 Commandments of Grilling:
- Have a beer in your hand.
- Be drunk enough not to worry if you’re doing it wrong.
- Don’t be too drunk to do it right.
- Gas is for wimps.
- Grill various meats. Beef is preferred.
- Grill various vegetables. Corn is preferred.
- Grill various fruits. Peaches are preferred.
- Don’t be a jerk if someone tells you how to grill.
- Never tell another man how to grill.
- If you need a flashlight, you better be wearing it on your head.
- When ready, inform guests by doing something loud. Ringing a bell or firing a gun are preferred.

Pregnant Snooki Buys Beer
In true Jersey fashion, for a pre-fourth of July party, a group of fit adult men send out a pregnant woman to fetch beer and soda for the festivities. That’s not shocking, we all know and have seen firsthand, far worse acts of culture and decorum. That aside, this picture is still truly shocking – Who the hell drinks Pepsi? These people truly are the worst.

Let them Eat Cake… and get Drunk
Ever wondered how you can bake AND raise your blood alcohol content? Well, buzzfeed has compiled a collection of recipes that can do just that. Typically when I want to eat my booze I dip white bread into whiskey, I call it a whiskey sandwich and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Skipped dinner and need to get ready fast? Whiskey sandwich. Grandma died and it’s lunchtime? Whiskey sandwich. About to get in a barfight? Knuckle sandwich followed by a whiskey sandwich.
