The holidays are coming, and it's time to stop thinking about your quest for the eternal buzz long enough to love your fellow humans long enough to get them drunk. That's why we've put together our recommendations for our favorite holiday gifts for the boozer in your life.

Whether they're a classy Scotch enthusiast in need of the right glass or a college-age binge drinker who totally wants a beer pong table, we've got exactly what you need to give them a holiday season to remember...until they black it out.

Find our recommendations after the jump and don't forget to keep checking back - we'll add more items as the holidays approach.

Bar Accessories: We've covered a few interesting bar gear this year, from tools to glasses - here's a roundup of our favorites from the year.

Books: We've found some books that are so cool you'll want all your friends to have them - heck, you might even want to teach yourself to read.

Booze: Sometimes you want to pick up a little something something for the holidays but they don't carry it at your local liquor store. Check out the fine folks at Internet Wines & Spirits for great gift ideas whether you're buying Single Malt Scotch, Tequila, or Vodka.

Update: We've found a bunch of prepackaged liquor gift sets over at Internet Wines and Spirits to make your booze-related holiday shopping go that much smoother. You're welcome.

Miscellanea: This is the stuff that doesn't fit into a neat little package, and probably won't fit in a neat package under the Xmas tree either...but they're still worth having.

Bing Bong Portable Beer Pong Table at Amazon (Our Review)
Amish: Don't Drink or Drive T-Shirt at Busted Tees (Our Thoughts)
Liquor Snob Hoodie at Cafe Press
Update: Why not add a bottle of Cocktail Kick to your loved one's stocking? Read our thoughts and just think of the grateful pucker you'll see on their face!
Update: Everybody needs a Flabongo - read our review and pick one up...or buy a whole flock of 10 and hand them out to everyone on your list who's been nice (or naughty).

Wow, what a waste. I can't believe you guys didn't recommend any actual LIQUOR. I hope you'll be doing another post to amend that, because it's kind of what the whole site is about. Lame.
