This is how they roll in Nashville on July 4th!


















This is how they role in Nashville on July 4th. Is the 4th a big deal or something?

Ha. Love this photo! Mental note : make a bigger Drink Toque for the 'Tall Boy' in all of us.

Also, sweet 'Death Moon' t-shirt.

A 'Toque', generally a knit winter hat, by any other name, would be called ... ?

A knit winter hat in Canada is generally called a 'Toque'. The Drink Toque fan, Stu 'the poo', from Scotland, reminded us that a 'Toque', while an iconic and traditional term in Canada, does not always translate perfectly in other countries. And, that got us thinking, how many different terms for a knit winter hat are there out there? What would a person in Australia call a knit winter hat/Toque? Or, a person in India? Sweden? Japan?

So, what are 'toques' called out there in other parts of the world? Comment below, email us participate@drinktoque.com, Twitter (https://twitter.com/TheDrinkToque), or find us on Facebook (Search 'The Drink Toque'), and impress everyone with your worldly knowledge of terms for 'knit winter hat'. We will continue to update this post as people write in.

In no particular order:

Stu 'the poo' has started us off. In Scotland, a Toque(knit winter hat) is referred to as a "tammy (scotland) or old skool 'bunnet'". Thanks Stu!

In the U.S., they call it a 'beanie', which Canadians also use for for some types of Toques.

What else . . . ?

The Drink Toque, helps you slay Coors Lights and 2.5 ounce shots in an Alaskan bar . . . wait, wait, wait, they drink LIGHT beer in Alaska???

So, Hollis, uh..., are you going outside at all? Like, Alaska is a big place.

This man is serious about fishing. Serious about his drinks. And, serious about his Drink Toques. Camo shorts so no fish can see him. Can take down a 36 pounder in a single cast. A superhero to many, he gets it done. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen out there.




Ben and his B. Making the best on the upper deck of a long, but sunny, ferry ride. Nice work Ben!



Jeff, Wednesday Night Soccer (we play that in Canada?), Drink Toques, and Friends = Good Times and Champions.

P.S. Legends of Soccer, can't wait for the afterparty!


Home Alone and enjoying the Weekend. Chelsea from http://www.sleepysheep.ca/ knows what's up!

Josh warming up for the Mini-Nerf Football Mega Ruckus 2009. Mini-Nerf is hard. Josh was smiling here, but not later when he lost ...



Backyard BBQs and horseshoe games, where the Drink Toques roam. Moose Attack, keeping it real. Pass the chips.



He looks so intense in this one. He wants it it bad. This has Ringer written all over it! (Truthfully, I don't think he was even throwing a horseshoe. Like, where did it go, straight up? Did he just kill a bird with that shot? ... All I am saying is ... I think I could take this guy in a game of horseshoes.)


It's official, babies love their Drink Toques. Coolest baby on the planet? Pink stripe jumper, accessorized with a baby bottle/Drink Toque combo ... so hot right now!


Either these kids haven't had a drink of water in two days, or they are loving their new Drink Toques! Yeah, Amanda's kids dig Drink Toques. Thanks for sharing Amanda!


Who let the Toques out? Ken did!

Zak and Jill keep their chill with a Drink Toque here and a Drink Toque there, and a Drink Toque everywhere.


Ronald likes horseshoe party's. We like Ronald. A fuzzy photo from Ronald's fuzzy Saturday night. This isn't the best photo you will ever see, but in context, it's hilarious, and the effort deserves a posting.

I call this one 'the Struggle'. Jocelyn's eyes and mind tell her she should eat, but clearly the Drink Toque/Rainier combo is winning this race to her mouth! The Drink Toque... we win races.
