Are you planning a big backyard bash or family reunion and you want a convenient, one-stop way to store your sodas and beers? Here’s what to do…

If you’re hosting a casual backyard party, a great way to keep soda, beer and bottled water cold and available to your guests is to fill a small kiddie pool (buy one just for your parties, even if you don’t have kids…they’re cheap!) with lots of ice. Big bags are available at supermarkets and gas stations. Then just add the drinks. Your guests won’t have to fumble through multiple coolers to find the beverage they want.
