New Years Tip

Putting beer/champagne in the freezer to rapidly chill is only a good idea (and I stress this important point), at the start of the night. This is true of any night, but most of all on New Years Eve. Champagne has much more built up pressure than beer does which means a lot more bang when it eventually gets too cold and explodes. At the beginning of the night, you're coherent enough to remember that there's a powder keg in your freezer. After three or four bottles, you tend to lose track of how much booze you started out with. You might forget about that last bottle and head to the bar. You might wake up the next morning with the freezer door blown off the hinges. It's not something you want to deal with on new years day.
