Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen Go Beer to Celebrate America's 250th Live
In June, Cohen crashed Cooper's CNN show, AC360, to offer him a special birthday surprise – with cake, balloons, and also the fanfare deserving of Cooper's special day. It's a great segment that's worth checking out, and we have that waiting for you above. But you might be asking yourself, "What does that have to do with Cooper and Cohen drinking? They're just going to do Tequila shots." Well, that's where you would be wrong (and why you should be patient and read the entire piece). Cohen dropped some breaking news for fans of the duo's drinking adventures: in honor of America's 250th birthday, Cooper and Cohen will be switching from Tequila to beer. Yes, it's true – and to be honest, we endorse the move. Not because of anything "red, white & blue," but because we didn't want to mirror everything that goes down on New Year's Eve.
