After a night spent celebrating on New Year’s Eve, for many New Year’s Day is a day to sleep late, deal with a hangover from the night before and then spend the day watching college football. For those that enjoy a few beers along with football viewing, or are planning to have a get-together to continue the celebration on this day off (whether to watch football or simply relax), tapping the kegerator is a part of this first day of the year.

If you hosted a party the night before and didn’t own a kegerator, you may also be spending the day cleaning up lots of bottles and cans from the drinks imbibed by your guests during your New Year’s Eve festivities. And you also may be out of beer, which would mean you’d either have to watch football without being able to have a cold beer, or you’d have to run to the store to buy some more.
But if you own a kegerator, chances are that you still have enough beer left to enjoy a drink or two while watching the games, and you also don’t have a lot to clean up, other than maybe a few cups or mugs. So, all that’s left to do on this first day of the new year is to relax and to enjoy.
It is a tradition of many people to spend the day gathered with friends and family to watch football throughout the day and evening. New Year’s Day is one of the biggest football television viewing days of the year, and there is no lack of games to watch. As with many other football “big events”, drinking beer and eating good food are very much a part of the activities of the day. So, if you have a kegerator, hit the tap and pour a few cold ones for your football viewing buddies, take out the chicken wings and pizza, nachos, or whatever your game day food of choice is, and start cheering for your favorite team. The kegerator will supply the beer throughout the day – all you need to do is make sure that you don’t run out of food before the last game ends.
Even if you only have a mini kegerator, or if you got one as a Christmas present this year, New Year’s Day is the perfect time to time to take your new mini kegerator out of the box, pop in a mini keg of beer (that’s about 5 liters of fresh, cold beer to enjoy throughout the day with friends and family!), and enjoy!
Sure, you can get through the day without a kegerator and even without a beer, but one of the best ways to deal with a hangover, as well as to relax and enjoy the game, is to sit back on the couch with a cold beer or two, surrounded by good friends and fattening food. After all, there’s always tomorrow to start focusing on your more serious new year’s resolutions – today is a day for celebrating, relaxing, cheering on your favorite teams and enjoying yourself.
