ShotPak is a fun shot sized alcohol line that comes Str8UP (vodka, whiskey, tequila and rum) or as delicious flavors like Kamikaze, Lemon Drop and Sour Apple. The pouch packaging, which allows it to be “the shot…without the glass!” is reminiscent of the Capri Suns of my childhood, which brings back nothing but good memories (except when I would accidentally stick the straw all the way through causing the juice to leak everywhere). 

Unfortunately it is just this type of association the alcohol brand’s antagonists are against. They say the “party in a pouch” is a way to market drinking to the underage, plus it makes it too easy to sneak alcohol into places it shouldn’t be. 

And they are right! About the sneaking part, but not about the part where that is a bad thing. College students like to drink during almost all occasions, but with tight budgets and even tighter restrictions, things can get tricky. 

Here are just a few suggestions of where ShotPaks, which are discrete and affordable, would come in handy:

Football games: Most college stadiums don’t sell alcohol, but if I’m expected to stand for hours on end, often in chilly weather, just to watch big men hit each other, I’m going to need a cocktail.

Bars and clubs: $10 for a vodka cranberry? No, thanks. I’ll take the $3 cranberry and meet you in the bathroom with my Vodka ShotPak, thank you very much.

The movies: I always suspected most Jack Black movies would be funnier if I had a drink or two in me. But use at your own risk, because something tells me alcohol + action movies may equal nausea.

Class: Lectures would seem more entertaining, plus the liquid courage might also give you the guts to answer a question. However, I’m pretty sure these beverages will only increase your likelihood of falling asleep.
