    Ice cold tall boy in a cool shower after a brutal day of summer yard work.

    Problem is that it tends to get lukewarm pretty easily. I can drink warm alcohol, but I gag a little every time.

    We might be drinking at different rates. When I’m hot and dirty and thirsty after working all day, I’ll finish that beer before I’m half soaped up.

    It really depends on the size of the beer. If it's a normal bottle or can, then yes, it's gone before I start drying. If it's one of those big fourty ouncers, it takes a while.

    Yeah. I've considered putting a few regular size beers in a cooler next to the shower but that feels like it could be a problem

    Yeah. For me, once you find yourself bringing a series of little bottles of liquor into the shower, then you might have a problem. Another good way to know is if you wake up in Morocco, wearing a cowboy suit and tongue kissing a transmission salesman.

    It takes a beer like a couple hours to go from ice cold to warm, are you an ant?

    Well, oftentimes, my showers tend to take an hour.

    It's in a hot steamy room and getting sprayed with hot water occasionally.

    The car beer for when you just parked and you're mentally preparing to go into your house and talk to your family.

    The car beer for when you realize you can legally drink a beer in a car in Mississippi as a passenger

    The car beer for when you're in New Orleans and nobody cares whether it's legal or not

    The car beer for when you're in Alaska and you're never going to see another car anyway

    Ok. I'm a bit of an alcoholic (also don't do this as the driver folks! Bad!)

    The New Orleans one also works for certain parts of California.

    So is "Friday before Christmas" beer. Because on Christmas, you have to deal with your family. If you still talk to them, of course.

    I dunno, that one could be about just appreciating the quiet before it all goes off. It can be tragic, but there's a good chance it's just introverted.

    Well, so is drinking a beer in the car before you talk to your family.

    That just sounds more medication-like than, "ah, my silent house."

    I don't know, that's how I view the other thing.

    As you like. If an internet stranger's identification of a drinking pattern as problematic is making you uncomfortable or defensive, that might warrant examination.

    Either way, I hope the holidays aren't too hard, this year.

    Oi, I didn't come to this website for therapy. Neither did I come here to be accused of being defensive.

    Man, if I could still smoke weed, I wouldn't even drink at all. My job just necessitates that I don't smoke weed.

    The beer you drink with a good steak. There's something about beer and steak that just compliment each other. This also applies to the cookout beer.

    First beer after setting up your tent for camping beer.

    First beer after an accomplishment.

    First beer at a family gathering and nobody is bothering you.

    Summit beer (hiking)

    parent
    0 points VoluptuousSloth

    What I do is... When I reach the snow line at 2500 feet, and lose the trail, I leave beers chilling in the snow every few hundred yards like an alcoholic Hansel and Gretel. Then have the last one on the summit.

    The beers are snow-chilled and guide me back down the trail. And just when I start to get too tipsy to hike safely, I'm home!

    You are all wrong. Nothing compares to the beer you finally get sold as a teenager at the 10th gas station you've gone to that day

    That one batch of homemade beer my dad made in like 1999.

    Definitely the shower beer after doing yard work on a hot summer day.

    But also a contender: The beer under your covered porch during a summer thunderstorm. Bonus points for a quality cigar in hand. Triple bonus if it's a porch beer and cigar during a thunderstorm at midnight on your birthday. 😌
