It is never not shocking to me when I meet an adult human I respect and trust who does not know what a shower beer is. Here, real quick, I'll explain. A shower beer is pretty simple: it's a beer you drink while in the shower. Related: other beverages are fully fair game to sip while showering, such as coffee, wine, seltzer, etc. However, shower beer is the proper term and classic image. To be clear, this is a special, celebratory indulgence and shouldn't happen on a daily basis. (At least not in the morning ... I don't know your life, but that seems a safe line to draw.) How do you know when this specific day calls for a shower beer?
Shower beer is essentially the pinnacle of multitasking. It's next-level relaxation. It's a holy fusion of hot and cold. Also, the freedom it grants to slurp sloppily (um, you're already wet and in the shower, so) is nothing to wag a finger at. Plus the image itself is sexy as hell: the glass bottle forming beads of condensation, yet remaining cool enough to provide 100 percent refreshment between your shampoo-rinse and conditioning treatment application. Seriously, what else are you supposed to do in there besides clean yourself and guzzle something fizzy and boozey? Plan your life? HAVE SEX? LOL, nice try. Here's how to tell the day necessitates a shower beer:
You Had A Great Day Today
Celebrate!
You Had A Bad Day Today
