I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell Paperback – September 1, 2009
Purchase options and add-ons
The new edition, released in September 2015, includes a new 6-page Afterword that will delight Tucker's fans. In it he describes his life in the 10 years since the book was first published, including his marriage and becoming a dad. His anecdotes are, as always, funny and revealing, told in the unique voice that millions of readers have come to love.
Actual reader feedback:
"I am completely baffled as to how you can congratulate yourself for being a womanizer and a raging drunk, or think anyone cares about an idiot like you. Do you really think that exploiting the insecurities of others while getting wasted is a legitimate thing to offer?"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you--for sharing with us your wonderful tales of drunken revelry, for teaching me what it means to be a man, for just existing so I know that there is another option; I too can say 'screw the system' and be myself and have fun. My life truly began when I finished reading your stories. Now, when faced with a quandary about what course of action I should take, I just ask myself, 'What Would Tucker Do?'--and I do it, and I am a better man for it."
"I find it truly appalling that there are people in the world like you. You are a disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, foul creature. Because of you, I don't believe in God anymore. No just God would allow someone like you to exist."
"I'll stay with God as my lord, but you are my savior. I just finished reading your brilliant stories, and I laughed so hard I almost vomited. I want to bring that kind of joy to people. You're an artist of the highest order and a true humanitarian to boot. I'm in both shock and awe at how much I want to be you."
"You are the coolest person I can even imagine existing. If you slept with my girlfriend, it'd make me love her more."

He reminds me of Hunter Thompson, who became a disappointment as he degenerated from being a real journalist. Teenage boys were swept along reading him because he talked such entertaining trash about his dissolute lifestyle - alcohol, the many drugs of the 1970s, playing with guns. That increasingly became the focus of his writing. He maintained the pretense of being a political journalist, railing about Nixon and fascism to keep that up, while spending Rolling Stone’s money like a drunken sailor. He spent less and less time observing anything or interviewing anyone, and as such had less and less to say.
Max doesn’t care about politics and actually sustains writing about being a degenerate better than Thompson did. I compare the two because Thompson’s most popular book was “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.” Max has a chapter here about a debauch in Vegas, which reminded me of that. Like Thompson, Max is from Kentucky, with a similar good ole boy touch in his writing.
Max is upfront that he’s writing solely about drinking, chasing women, and getting into the kind of trouble the young get into, trouble they’ll recall fondly as codgers sitting by the fire. He knows he’s an a-hole, he’s shameless about it, and he regularly reminds you of it in case you were about to forget it.
Max has a great sense of humor and written delivery. Watching him and his fellow law students - Slingblade, El Bingeroso, PWJ, Hate, Credit and company - get trashed and search for easy women is endlessly entertaining.
They don’t have to search very hard. Welcome to Hookup Culture, where the girls are as drunk and trashy as the boys. The more Max needles or insults girls, the likelier they seem to sleep with him. Go figure.
Max is irrepressibly optimistic about his ability to pick up women. It is important to observe, in the Age of Weinstein, that the sexual landscape Max depicts is diametrically opposed to the one consisting of scary traumas inflicted on fragile snowflakes by big bad horndogs who LOOK at their BREASTS.
Here, we see an hordes of young women hanging out in bars with their girlfriends, engaging in the badinage and banter Max excels at, getting as ridiculously drunk as he does, finding him more and more entertaining as he insults them more and more, and all with the goal of getting laid. After Max begins his website, publishes his first book and goes on a booksigning tour, college girls, knowing who he is, actually clamor to hook up with him.
Those who think the sexual revolution was a contribution to humanity might want to read this. This is what Hookup Culture really looks like and this is what the sexual revolution wrought. Sexual revolutionaries: proud of yourselves? Men will sniff after sex wherever it might be available, and the more they think it’s available the cruder and more direct they’ll get. Hold Max in contempt if you want, but he doesn’t care. For young men, Hooking Up is the coin of the realm.
The only thing as other readers have mentioned is once you've read a few stories, they do tend to blend together after a while of reading. I read this book in pretty much 3 or 4 sittings, so it was a little more repetitive at times than say those would read this book over the course of a week and spread out the stories a bit. The cynic in me questions a few of the stories because they are so outlandish, you're just left thinking "there's just no way this story could be real, it's almost impossible for ALL OF THAT to happen to him" type of deal, lol.
For those that gave it the 1 and 2 star reviews, I'm not sure what they were expecting from a book titled "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell"? A thought-provoking treatise on nuclear physics? It's a book that is what it is, it's about an ***hole that gets into every drunken escapade imaginable, treats most women like crap, and provides hilarious stories if you don't read this book as a guide on "how to treat women" but just a "laugh at other people's experiences" type of book, then it's a great read. Don't get me wrong, the book is certainly one that's morally reprehensible one but then again I've got a bit of a morally reprehensible sense of humor. It all averages out. I think those that will enjoy it most are the ones in college and want to read the life and tales of one of the most entertaining college student's there ever was. All and all, bravo Tucker Max. I only hope you have gotten years and years of therapy, however :)
To Tucker- thanks for sharing your stories - nice to read about others who have had similar dysfunctional and unreal experiences to the likes of that of my friends and myself. Looking forward to the next book!
