NFL Stadiums Score Hard Seltzer Tall Boys for Thirsty Football Fans

Since the first real push for hard seltzer last summer, the category has continued to grow. New flavors and brands are slowly making their way onto the playing field as health-conscious drinkers (or those looking to find a way to spike their cocktails with more booze) explore this fairly new class of beverages. In an attempt to take it a step further, Spiked Seltzer has recently introduced 16-ounce cans in select NFL stadiums around the country.

Currently the only hard seltzer company to come in a tall boy, Spiked Seltzer’s 6 percent ABV concoctions are set to corner(back) the market on highly-chuggable beer alternatives.

The products themselves (if you’ve somehow avoided drinking what’s been everywhere in the past year) are pretty damn refreshing. Not only are hard seltzers lower in sugar than beer, but they are also lower in carbs — and, compared to most domestics, they’re higher in ABV.

While not all of the NFL stadiums are on board, the company hopes to expand league-wide eventually. At the moment, you’ll be able to find the both Indian River Grapefruit and West Indies Lime flavors at the homes of the Chiefs, Redskins, Broncos, Panthers, Titans, Eagles, Browns, Bengals, and Falcons. You can also find the lime at CenturyLink Field, where the Seahawks play; in the suites and clubs at Gillette Stadium, headquarters of the Patriots; and in the standard 12-ounce slim cans at Metlife Stadium for all you Giants and Jets fans out there.

Not a football diehard, but love America’s sport (and already looking forward to next season, even if you’re team is already out)? You can find Spiked Seltzer at the homes of the Phillies, Nationals, and Orioles.

What does it for us is the fact that the stuff goes down easy — especially if you’re as obsessed with seltzers such as La Croix as we are — and you’ll get drunk faster than you would on a standard domestic. It’s a win-win that’s bolstered by the low calorie count which, when you think about it, means you can drink more over the course of a day. Also a win.

How much coffee is too much? How to tell if you’re consuming too much caffeine
Everything in moderation, right?
Pouring coffee beans

Sip after sip, cup after cup, it's easy to get carried away sipping on your favorite brew throughout the day. The casual coffee drinker may start with just one cup per day, which can slowly turn into three or four cups once you crave the unique flavor or the caffeine jolt coffee offers. Soon, this can make you ask, "How much coffee is too much?" At the same time, several studies boast the health benefits of coffee and suggest that drinking coffee may even be good for you.

Alas, finding the line between too much coffee and just enough coffee can be challenging to identify. How many cups can you safely consume before your coffee habits become questionable? Is there a limit that is universal to everyone? Here's what you need to know about moderating your coffee consumption.

Canna River gummies are the ultimate portal to relaxation, calm, and clarity
Canna River Delta 9 Gummies

When I'm done work at day's end, I need help to relax. No, my job isn't particularly rigorous and there's nothing physical going on. So, I'm not physically tired and ready to sleep, I'm mentally drained. Although my brain is exhausted, it continues to toil away without me asking. Basically, it's difficult for me to turn my brain off. Part of it is the spark of creativity I keep lit all day, part of it is just spending all day in front of a screen, and part of it is just normal aging. At any rate, what I use to help me is a mix between CBD gummies and THC gummies. If I really want to zonk, I spring for Delta 8 or Delta 9. If I just want to calm down, CBD is the way to go. Canna River is one of the brands I turn to.

Canna River offers a range of hemp-infused gummies built to enhance your wellness journey. Sourced from plant-based ingredients, and offering a variety of formats, it's an ideal choice for relaxation, calm, and clarity. Whether you want to experience the touted benefits of CBD, chill out with Delta 8 THC, or use a combination of Delta 9 THC and CBD, Canna River has gummies for you. You can check those out for yourself, or keep reading to learn a little more about this wonderful purveyor of calm and goodness.
