Nah. Probably just pointed it out tongue in cheek.
Have you done so to anyone else over there?
If not, then how is it not being a dick?

I don’t do it, if people choose to do it that’s on them, I don’t pass judgement. I get background checked bi-yearly and it’s not worth the risk for me personally.

Years ago the convenience store at Causeway and W. Esplanade used to have a line wrapped around the inside of the store of people buying two beers for the trip across the lake.....sold the hell out of old Michelob.....not that fake stuff .

It's mainly a Louisiana thing. Drive thru Daiquiris, drinking and driving. Half the state can't spend a second past noon without something alcoholic going in them. Growing up there it was always just a thing. When step pops was too drunk to stay upright, then I would drive the boat in, back the truck up, trailer the boat and drive us home from the Boat launch on the Amite. I was in Junior High at the time.
I moved out of the state. The first thing I noticed was how absent alcohol was from every day life. Didn't bother me. But going from Louisiana to a 'dry' county was culture shock. Still have family in LA that will split 6 packs on the way to a party. Had multiple DUI's and think it's all part of a good time. Again... mostly a Louisiana thing.
I'm just an out of state square that refuses to drive or get in a car of someone who has been drinking. No thanks... it's not worth the trumped up charges they'll hit you with if something goes wrong. Even if it's not your fault... you could easily face murder charges. Not worth it to me.

I'm all against drunk driving, but a road beer after work before getting to the house would hit the spot some days while sitting in traffic.
Justifying drinking while driving is the first step in a long road of bad decisions

My old boss would get half a coke when he left work... he filled the empty space up with Crown when he got to his car. There were days I would leave an hour later and I would see his car parked at the gas station, he needed a refill. I think he hated his wife, she would call all the time when he wasn't there asking where he was.

If you worked in a hot factory or warehouse, I could maybe see a beer. White collar, hell no.

My grandmother was very, very against alcohol and it was the one rule you absolutely could not break around her.
I came to find out later in life it was because her father was a horrible drunk and he used to make her drive him around the Oneonta, AL area as a 9 year old child on a little box in the driver's seat so she could see. Never met him, but he sounded like an a-hole and Nana was the sweetest person to ever live.

My uncle did this for years until recently. He had just cracked it and got rear ended. Beer splashed all over him before he could ever take the first sip.

I can definitely be a dick sometimes. I'm just shocked it was about you drinking a roadie
how long ago was this? I haven't posted in the beer thread in ages.

No joke, I keep some Athletic Brewing N/A cans around for hot days when a roadie is much needed without any risk.

Only September thru January when the cooler in truck is maintained several times a week with ice refills. Not so much in summer. Too much effort to maintain ice. Even in a Yeti-type

Same thing happened to my brother, but he opened the door and threw the beer out so it wouldn't keep spilling all over the place. When the cop showed up, the first thing the guy who rear ended him said was he threw a beer can out.
My brother got an open container ticket and a littering ticket.
I told him he should of said I am starting to feel neck pain to the a-hole who rear ended him.

I usually go to a bar for at least an hour after work before going home
Posted on 7/21/22 at 2:53 pm to yellowfin
Home from work, not usually.
Home then bringing kids to travel ball practice roadies… ahhh hell yeah

Yeah, I'm not condoning it, not would I do it because of said risks. It just blew my mind how casually these two guys seem to take driving with open beers.
Used to be pretty common, and drinking a single beer on the way home, while risky from a legal standpoint, probably isn't all that risky from a driving standpoint. I worked construction one summer and a road beer for the drive home was pretty much a given.
