The best way is to let the champagne first pass through your body to enjoy it.

Then break the bottle on the bow while emptying your bladder on the vessel being christaned.

If not good luck at least fun to watch.

I'd personally break a liter bottle of beer...after it's been drank, of course.

I'd prefer to drink the beer and pee over the side...with just enough to get caught in the wind and hit the side of the boat.

SPALDING get your foot off the boat!

Pop the cork, put your thumb over the opening, shake vigorously, and spray the bow. Drink the rest, with a designated driver of course.
