I have to support this guy. It is great having a beer in the shower, I think it comes from playing sport with a team and afterwards celebrating the win (or loss) after the game by having a beer and that spills over into having a shower etc. As long as it is not in a glass and you don't leave the bottle in the shower (because thats crossing a line) then I am with this guy. I don't support his potty mouth though.
Give it a try next time CC play softball.

have to admit - a beer in the shower is pretty great. as a father, i try to keep my cocktail intake to a minimum at home, so this isn't something i do too often. but once in a while, when the conditions are right, a beer in the shower is the special-est thing around. had one a couple weeks ago in a hotel room bathroom while getting ready for a wedding. what kind of beer you ask? a becks can.

I'm on this team, too! I love a shower beer. It turns a relaxing shower after work into a relaaaaaaaaaaaxing shhhhhhhhhhhower after work

There's only one way to enjoy a beer:
a) cold
b) in your room
c) hard day

buffcoat is right.
You guys sound stupid.

He'd better start shoppin' for a coffin.

I liked occasionally drinking Dr. Pepper in the shower when I was a kid. It always tasted sweeter when I was in there.

I have a question for the Pro-Beer In The Shower People:
What is the deal with this? How did you come up with the drinking things in the shower thing? It was never an idea that even came close to crossing my mind until this week's show. I just...I mean, I like beer fine, and I like showers fine, but I also like lots of other unrelated things. How did these things end up together?
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND

I like doing sudoku puzzles while parachuting.

A character in a George Pelecanos book does this. Of course, the character is a raging alcoholic, so maybe that's not a ringing endorsement for this behavior.

I encourage any doubters to give it a try and then post their apologies on this thread.

There is precious little drinking time between the closing whistle and bedtime, you have to multitask.
It's a hardhat thing.

I think it's one of those "I'm a grown-up so I can do whatever I want" type of thing. My special lady friend uses that line of reasoning to argue for cake for breakfast.

I was listening to the live broadcast of All Tomorrows Parties today and they interviewed some band that was talking about having a beer in the shower.

I just tried this for the first time.
Dropped my Heineken keg can twice, once on my foot.
Glass of wine in the bathtub? Fine.
Can of beer in the shower? Stupid.
-

Yet better (or at least safer) than a bottle of beer in the shower.

You gotta keep the suds seperate!

Since this show aired I've been trying to think if I’ve ever done this – say after mowing the lawn or playing softball or something – and I honestly can’t remember.
I’m scared.

I witnessed a friend of mine drink beer in the shower once. I feel it was acceptable because it was under these circumstances:
1) It was an outdoor shower
2) At a beach house
3) He had just taken a dip in the ocean and was simply rinsing off the salt water thus no soap and no suds to ruin the beverage
4) It was a social situation where other folks where drinking as well
5) He still had his bathing suit on
In this scenario I feel drinking in the shower is permitted and should perhaps even be encouraged.
I would also mention that this friend is a huge alcoholic but that hardly seems pertinent.

I agree. In seperate rooms.

I like to eat pasta in the hot tub, why?

....in theory.
I would.
Were it legal for me to do so.

the Beer in the Shower Guy was so Amateur Hour, it hurt.
the fact is: the only reason that that guy ever had a beer in the shower, was so that he could ask "Hey, have you ever had a beer in the shower? I have, and it's GREAT!"
that dude was probably smack dab in the middle of his 5 year long 'Bukowski' phase, which usually comes hand in hand with discovering Jim Goad & the AmRep catalog, and is usually followed by either a) rehab or b) law school
-
I tried it once. It was advertised under the assumption that if the shower is hot and the beer is ice cold, it's the perfect way to unwind after a hard day of manual labor.
Keeping water out of the beer was difficult at best, and the prep work to keep my hands from being soapy when I picked up the beer was counterproductive. It meant lots of little mini-showers for my hands. Being too scared of dropping the bottle and showering my feet in broken glass, or slipping and getting a senior-style injury in the shower made for an unpleasant shower.
Aside from the first sip, which was very nice, I don't recommend the Beer & Shower Extravaganza.
I give it 1 1/2 mustaches, out of four.

game/set/match! if the guy'd heard the show for more than six minutes, he'd've known that the whole "Damn, I love drinking beer!" vibe'd go nowhere fast. if he knew better and called anyway, he was either trying to prove something to himself or some (sad) friend who he coaxed into listening to him listen to himself talk (on the radio.) heave-ho!
and the AmRep reference was delightful, btw.

So are you for beer in the shower or against?
-
I prefer to think of it as "Showering While Drinking" as opposed to "Drinking a Beer while Showering"

I think it's one of those "I'm a grown-up so I can do whatever I want" type of thing. My special lady friend uses that line of reasoning to argue for cake for breakfast.
I used to do it and found it enjoyable. But it WAS something that I started doing just because I had recently moved out of my parent's house and was trying to think of "all the stuff I can do now!!!"

With all this talk about soap vs beer while drinking in the shower, and worrying about getting suds in your drink and whatnot, I think it's important to point out that anybody who is worrying about their soap interacting with their beer or vice versca is doing this completely wrong. You should be drinking the beer while relaxing under the running water and coming down from an especially brutal bout of manual labor or sports-playing. If you are going to wash yourself, you do it AFTER you've drank the beer. I don't think anybody should be interrupting scrubbing themselves down to grab a sip of lager, which is insane and rightly ridiculed. I think if you're drinking a beer in the shower, you are doing it because you've busted your hump so hard that whatever you have to do next (in this case: shower), drinking a cold beer at your first opportunity is JOB #1. If you've got the energy to actually wash yourself with soap before you've even finished your refreshing, life-giving beer, you didn't need the beer bad enough to warrant drinking it in the shower.
And again, for the record, my opinion should be taken with the knowledge that I can't actually remember if I've done this before or not.
-

Oh, ever so true and painful. I used to work in the law school admissions office. You are 100% correct.

I once drank a beer in the bath. It was arguably the lowest I've ever been. Any kind of drinking alone = deep six.
-
I eat fondue in my jacuzzi, does that count?

I was wondering around Pisa in Italy by myself (not bragging... I think) as I had fucked up my travel itinerary and was stranded in that strange, one-tower town for the night. I had a bath and drank a Heineken at the same time. I hadn't bathed in a few days and I was pretty stressed out, so needless to say it was awesome.
Don't judge!

That might be difficult... ;D

Beer in the outdoor shower!!! I do this lots. If you can access a nice outdoor shower, give it a whirl. It will convert you.
I'm a beer in the indoor shower girl only every now and then. Always bottled though. I couldn't take a can of beer in the shower. Not sure why. My current shower, however, doesn't really have shelves, so I haven't had a beer in the (indoor) shower in almost 3 years.
For the hot tub a super cold, cheap canned beer like Budweiser is totally awesome.
I didn't realize I had such rigorous rules about my beer/hot water combining until I typed this.
-
One time I drew a bath and had a Coors light beer in the bath. I think it was too hot or something because I got really sick afterwards. Like, feverish and nauseous.
When I used to be a smoker, there was nothing more depressing than having a nice cigarette in the bath, sort of like, what is it, Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters? That Salinger story where the kid is trying to have a bath or shower and his mom keeps lighting cigarettes in the bathroom? Gross. But awesome

Drinking booze in the bath is something you can't do everywhere, but some places it's passable. The hotel I stayed at in Kawayu Onsen (http://www.hongu.jp/english/kawayu/index.htm (http://www.hongu.jp/english/kawayu/index.htm)), had their own private outdoor bath and a beer vending machine right at the door to get to it. Inviting bath-beers. Needless to say, I drank a few bath-beers that night. The spring water there is amazingly smooth on the skin too.

Look at that, river, dense forest, open sky, hot spring bath, and a cold Asahi. Heaven.

When I have had a drink while bathing, I've always preferred cognac or a nice single-malt scotch. Beer would get too warm.
-
I prefer bathwater. Anytime, anyplace. "Bartender, I'd like a warm glass of bathwater, please. Your warmest."

I dig the color of the water (not so much!)

Beer in the shower is wonderful, but it's a young man's game. I stopped doing it about the time I stopped jammin' out to my tunes while in the shower getting ready for a night of rock'n'roll. And it has to be spontaneous. You can't plan it. It's just gotta happen.
