		<description>Same arguement as &quot;guns dont kill people, people kill people.&quot; the beer stick itself isnt sending anyone to the hospital, the idiot kids whose parents arent paying enough attention to them who drink beer is the problem.

would kids still drink beer if there wasnt a beer stick? I think so. your problem doesnt lie with the apparatus, it lies with the parents of a mindless generation.</description>

		<description>This thing is a rip off you can buy a regular paintstick at Menards for $10 and it works just as good and the cap won&#039;t fly off covering you in beer like the &quot;Bierstick.&quot;  This costs them less then 6 dollars a peice to make, and the syringe idea causes all the beer to turn to foam when you start drinking.  Terrible effort thrown together to try and rip people off.</description>

		<description>altered states. Beer is the semi-toxic version of deadly demon alcohol. Playing with beer bongs and such gives the thrill of defying death while removing ones&#039; inhibitions. When robot cars are here i will lighten up about abuse of ethyl alcohol.Vomiting the best way to enjoy yourself, Frat Boys;-)</description>

		<description>I envision a time when the prudence mongers of our society all but ban the bierstick, relegating its sale to dirty hippy headshops (&quot;I&#039;m sorry, sir, but what&#039;s a bierstick? We only sell high-volume turkey basters.&quot;) For the uninitiated, that&#039;s what the clerk will say as they point to the sign proclaiming &quot;All items sold for novelty use only. Any other use strictly punishable by law.&quot;
But what&#039;s a little fascism between friends, eh?</description>

		<description>I wonder if you could use it as a stomach pump as well?  All you would need is some tubing to attach to the syringe.  Perhaps they should sell the tubing as an accessory.</description>

		<description>Lighten up, people. This is no worse than a beer bong. There are always going to be irresponsible drinkers, and giving them a new toy isn&#039;t going to make it any more prevalent than it already is. As far as I&#039;m concerned, it&#039;s God&#039;s way of thinning out the herd of stupid people. 
And no, I&#039;m not including people who are killed by drunk drivers in that statement. This toy isn&#039;t geared specifically toward people that drink and drive, it&#039;s aimed at people who drink. So don&#039;t jump on me, thinking I said that innocent bystanders deserve to be weeded out.
If you&#039;re dumb enough to drink yourself into a coma, then I think you deserve it--it&#039;s your own decision that got you there.
I think this toy is a cool novelty--something my friends and I would use once or twice in a night while hanging out at home. There&#039;s nothing wrong with cutting loose, as long as you do so responsibly.</description>

		<description>This is the dumbest invention EVER.  What kind of JACKA** would buy this thing?  It´s sad that someone would want to get completely trashed at the very beginning of the party and spend the rest of night alternately throwing up or passing out.  SOUNDS FUN!

And I also agree with Annie.  This thing should come with a HUGE safety warning regarding alcohol poisining.</description>
