Ok, seriously, I am buying this. Last Christmas we bought my dad one of those "Yard of Beer" glasses that he will never use, and now it's mama's turn! :D #giantwineglass
If I didn't have to get up, go into the kitchen to get a refill, and then go back into the living room and reapply the slanket - I'd fall asleep WAY before my usual time of 10p.
HEY! You get up at 5:30a - walk three miles then work all day and see how long you hold up! #giantwineglass
I'm getting a pounding headache and acidic bowels just looking at that glass. I enjoy wine, I really do. But there is NOTHING worse than a wine hangover. #giantwineglass
@Aesop's Foibles. YES.: Sweet Lord, I am so with you on that...it makes you feel like all time has come to a stand still and you will never, ever know what it feels like to not be hungover, ever again. #giantwineglass
@ToUnfoldThem: Seriously. I've had some truly monstrous hangovers before in my vodka days, but the one that'll forever claim the crown was the two-day-long wine-induced one. I mean. I thought I was going to die. I vomited, I shat, I was dizzy and weak and wobbly, my mouth tasted like batteries, everything. I was actually scared. #giantwineglass
@Aesop's Foibles. YES.: Isn't that the worst? When you're like 27 and start crying and feel like you need to call your Mom because you're afraid you may die or something? #giantwineglass
@merc6point9: I've never had one, for this exact reason. Champagne is delicious but I've never gone there with it because I've heard it's really bad. Like, not-worth-it bad. #giantwineglass
@Aesop's Foibles. YES.: True story: Back in college I used to throw "champagne jams" where I'd pick up a case or two of the cheapest champagne in stock, empty out my fridge of all the leftover carry out and condiments (and sometimes the shelves too) and fill it with bottles. Everyone would always come because they were the best parties. Champagne is a fantastic drunk...very very happy! No one has a bad time. Then I started to realize that after I'd throw a champagne jam--aside from my own death-hangovers--I would literally not hear from any of my friends for a week or more. We'd all have two-day, and sometimes three-day, hangovers.
The only thing that ever came close to those hangovers was the time I tried to play century club with Franzia. #giantwineglass
I have cancelled 95% of all my champagne hangovers by switching from Cook's and Andre to the bruts in the $8-$12 range (Freixenet, Domaine St. Michelle, Sigura Viudas, Cristallino, Korbel, etc). The added sugars in the cheap bottles are what make the champagne hangover so awful. If I drink brut, coupled with some cheese and crackers and some water, I can go all night long and wake up with either a minor hangover or none at all, but never with the epic "HOLY BALLS CHAMPAGNE IS THE DEVIL'S DRINK" hangovers of my uneducated youth. #giantwineglass
@Aesop's Foibles. YES.: I actually drink wine more often now because it doesn't give me monstrous hangovers. But I usually drink organic wine - not out of any pretention, just because it tends to be easier on me. The worst hangover I ever had was from drinking Strongbow cider and champagne on New Year's once. I literally could not lift my head off the pillow for about 12 hours and was sick for two days. Never. Again. #giantwineglass
As a white wine drinker (allergies to red, boo) this is insufficient. I would need a coozie and/or ice bucket specifically designed to hold my glass. #giantwineglass
@sportz.star: perfect idea for an "as seen on tv" item.
"Do you love to drink wine but hate how warm it gets as you hold the glass in your hand? Do you find yourself popping your glass in the fridge between sips, JUST to keep it cool?" #giantwineglass
@sportz.star: My mother-in-law freezes green grapes and uses them as ice cubes in her white wine. It totally works and doesn't fuck up the flavor of my $6 chard. #giantwineglass
Surely Dodai could not be referring to any Jezebels. Because if she were, that picture would have three empties, one of them overturned, and that bitch'd be covered in a Dorito dust speckled Snuggie.

Let's all pour out our Bordeaux from these coma-inducing sized glasses to memorialize that defunct periodical.

@sarahsmile: I completely agree. Using the wine coozie would feel like giving up and letting the wine win. #giantwineglass

This would be a great "Edward 40 Hands" cup. But you know, more sophisticated than a 40 of Miller Light. #giantwineglass
