The same little brother who introduced me to Dogfish Head 90 Minute SWEARS by his post-run beer...he brings it into the shower with him. My baby brother is cool (really smart, too...just got his master's degree in CS, so the shower beer thing must be a wise thing to do)! Big grin

I cannot tell you how many times I've taken a beer into the shower after a run. Sits nicely on the washcloth bar along the wall, out of reach of dilluting spray and elbows. It's a good thing.

I will say, on occasion, I am a beer in the shower person myself. Glad to know I am not the only one.

I feel like a loser--I have never drank in the shower; beer or otherwise. I'm such a frickin slacker! Tongue

Yeah, I think that's why I'm leery...ours is cast iron (bro's is fiberglass or whatever that sort of molded plastic shower surround is made of), so a dropped bottle would be BAD. Hmmm...but what if I put the bottle inside one of those neoprene jacket things? I do have one of those... Evil grin

Beer in the ice bath makes MUCH more sense.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

That's why you keep a sixer of cans around, just in case.

Yeah, we used to drink beer in the shower in college when fball games were early (noon) and we needed to get our pre game on. Then again, we only drank cans in college, so..

Beer in the shower is fun! We've done that on our yearly weekend escapes to the Poconos. Gotta take a shower after the hot tub, and can't leave your beer out for friends to put hot sauce into it (lesson learned year one).

That reminds me of a card my wife gave me for Valetines Day. It read: "If our love were a garden, I'd be your hoe." Regarding the beer shower holder, if anyone gives you any crap about installing that, just quote Ben Franklin: "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." Cheers.
