For years I thought I was the only one who had discovered the beautiful and sacred art of drinking in the shower, until the other day, when someone I'd just met brought it up in conversation... that person and I are now soulmates.
Now before anyone yells 'Alcoholic!' let me inform you that this isn't something I practice daily. But it's something that just seems to dawn on me as the perfect thing to do at random intervals of my life. Kind of like how picking the perfect meal and tv show can make or break a night spent contently alone.
So, how many of you have had a beer in the shower? Or any other beverage?
And if you haven't tried it, here's what the internet has to say:
I usually only drink while cleansing (http://everything2.com/title/cleansing) myself if I have a tub (http://everything2.com/title/tub). Showers get water (http://everything2.com/title/water) in the beer (http://everything2.com/title/beer). Although, the other (http://everything2.com/title/other) day, I was taking a shower (http://everything2.com/title/shower), and I gradually turned up the water temperature until I could barely stand it, and got so relaxed (http://everything2.com/title/relaxed) that I could barely move, and the only thing I could think was: "If only I had an ice-cold lager (http://everything2.com/title/lager)..." The thought still haunt (http://everything2.com/title/haunt)s me, and I think I'm going to set aside a super (http://everything2.com/title/super) relaxation day, just to try drinking (http://everything2.com/title/drinking) a bunch of liquor (http://everything2.com/title/liquor) and beer (http://everything2.com/title/beer) in the shower. I hope I don't drown (http://everything2.com/title/drown). Update:
I have now ascertained that there is nothing (http://everything2.com/title/nothing) in this world that is so relaxing as drinking (http://everything2.com/title/drinking) in the shower (http://everything2.com/title/shower). After careful examination, I think I have elevated it to an art... Here follows (http://everything2.com/title/follows) a list of the proper procedure (http://everything2.com/title/procedure).
Get in the shower.
As you shower, turn the heat of the water (http://everything2.com/title/water) up.
when the water temperature (http://everything2.com/title/temperature) has reached its (or your) maximum, allow the water to stream (http://everything2.com/title/stream) down on your face (http://everything2.com/title/face), focused (especially good with a massaging shower (http://everything2.com/title/shower) head) just above your nose (http://everything2.com/title/nose), between your eyes.
This will relax (http://everything2.com/title/relax) you greatly. As you start entering this state of bliss (http://everything2.com/title/bliss), turn around, open your beer (http://everything2.com/title/beer), and begin to drink (http://everything2.com/title/drink), while occasionally turning around to keep your whole body warm (http://everything2.com/title/warm). I reccommend a lager (http://everything2.com/title/lager), but in a pinch malt liquor (http://everything2.com/title/malt%2520liquor) will do.
Once done with the beer, turn off the water (http://everything2.com/title/water), towel (http://everything2.com/title/towel) off, and collapse into bed (http://everything2.com/title/bed) naked (http://everything2.com/title/naked) (music optional) and realize that to you, there exist (http://everything2.com/title/exist)s no such thing as stress (http://everything2.com/title/stress).This perfect (http://everything2.com/title/perfect) world lasts for roughly 1/2 to 1 1/2 hours. Treasure (http://everything2.com/title/Treasure) it.
http://everything2.com/e2node/Drinking%2520beer%2520in%2520the%2520shower...drinking beer in the shower is awesome. Here are five reasons why:
1. I live in Florida. It's ****ing hot. Fifteen minutes outside, and you need both a shower and a beer, stat.
2. It's a great time-saver for those evenings when work runs late and you really want to see the opening act but your bangs need conditioning or you can't afford to get hammered at the venue. Slam another tallboy while the Pert Plus takes.
3. If it doesn't involve extreme heat, extreme cold, or animals with talons, it's more fun when you're naked.
4. It's like a little wet VIP lounge, but there's only one *******. (Sorry.)
5. If it ever comes up in conversation, and somebody else goes, "yeah, I totally do that too," you've probably made a friend for life.

And honestly, it's no weirder than having a good old squat and surf (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=squat%20and%20surf)
