Always bottles in the shower, unless all I have is cans. Also a good tequila in a tall glass filled with ice goes just as nice.

Rooster, I agree with you on the shower beer. Here's my question- do you go with bottles or cans? I find bottles hold their temperature better, but cans are stackable, and some mornings I just need two shower beers, because the first one goes down so quick it doesn't really touch the sides of my throat.
First time you cut your foot open on glass in the bathroom, you'll appreciate non-glass containers. Drunks drop things...

We do have "unbreakable" 20 oz pint type acryillic glasses that we bought at Target for the hot tub. We were walking down the isle and I picked on up and said, "Hey honey, these would be good for the hot tub." I then held one about 7 feet off the floor and dropped it. They make a hell of a lot of noise and bounce a buncha times. My wife turned bright red and got away from me as fast as she could. People came from other isles to see what the commotion was.

I'm a huge fan of the bath tub hefeweizen or peated scotch--preferably in absolute darkness, in the middle of the night, with no responsibilities to bear.


That's therapy, baby.
Don't worry. We're in no hurry.

The midnight shower/bath beer is a lesson in what it is to be divine.

The shower beer, for safety reasons, comes in cans around here.

Of course, Miller does (or, at least, did) put Lite and MGD in 16oz plastic bottles. Then there was that whole Bud Select aluminum bottle thing.

Maybe these ideas would take off if they could be advertised as shower beers....

I just got some aluminum cups, damn they keep cold! I originaly got them for the kids there all bright colors and would be perfect for keeping drinks cold on a summer day. So I filled with ice and beam and hit the shower, the cups held up great.

Reminds me of the time I managed to drop a six-pack in the middle of a crowded supermarket. I slowly turnd to my friend with what he later told me was the most fucked up expression he had ever seen. Like if I had just strangled my own child, and said "Great....so, what happens now?" "Well, for starters, let's go stand somewhere else"

Bacon and shower beers and the two things that every drunkard in the world comes to appreciate, whether they've seen these forums or not. They're as close to a universal language as it gets.

Okay, I'm out to buy more beer before I go to the shower. BTW, Dingbat and Spooky have pictures of me drinking beer under the shower (don't ask).

If a shower beer is what it takes for some of you filthy motherfuckers to clean yourselves then I am all for it.

I actually had an idea for an invention a few years back viz. the perfect vessel to carry beer in a shower: something that would keep water and soap out, yet allow easy egress of the beer within. Then my brother had a baby and I saw my first sippy-cup. You can drop one of those on the floor without spilling a single drop. Buy a couple of the large ones (they'll each hold about 3/4 of a regulation beer) and feel free to sit, stand, stumble, or thrash about the morning shower without fear of losing any precious beer.
Bonus fact: When you're in Babys'R'Us buying the sippy cups, you can totally check out some nice big pregger hoo-haws. Just sayin...
