May 21, 20188 yr I am a big believer in shower beers. I think they are essential to life's happiness. Not much is better than enjoying a beer in the shower after vending a Reds game on a very hot/sunny day, like yesterday, or after doing yard work. Do you enjoy shower beers? If so, what have you found to be some of your favorites?
May 21, 20188 yr I like beer and have consumed my share over the many years I've been around. I have never heard of drinking beer while taking a shower. :eyeonyou:
May 21, 20188 yr There is actually science to it all. In short, you are in a relaxing environment with water and the cooling sensation of a beer (or any beverage I suppose) going through your veins. Think of the opposite effect of drinking a hot chocolate or coffee when you are freezing cold. The Curious Case of the Shower Beer – MEL Magazine Your body wants to maintain a certain temperature, and when anything changes that, the work it does to get back to the golden state can feel really amazing. “All physiological processes within the body are regulated so that the organism stays within a range that’s optimal for physiological function, i.e., homeostasis,” Davide Filingeri, a leading expert on thermosensation and physiological thermoregulatory responses, writes via email from the U.K., where he’s a lecturer at Loughborough Design School. “In terms of body-temperature regulation for example, our body adjusts its internal temperature so that this is maintained within a certain range (around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit).” Then, whenever we do something that shifts us out of that range — warming up in a hot shower — our body starts working its inner temperature back to normal. That’s where the beer comes in as a terrific facilitator. “In essence,” Filingeri explains, “your cold beer is seen by your brain as a useful stimulus that could help bring its temperature to the range it likes to be within.”

May 21, 20188 yr Now that I am older and my body reminds me of that I take long hot soaks in the tub with some healing Epsom salt in the water. A beer with that has been a more enjoyable experience for me than the shower.
May 21, 20188 yr There's only two things I do in the shower...one of those requires a partner. Neither require a beer. Not much of a beer drinker anyway.
May 21, 20188 yr I work outdoors a lot and sometimes there are few things that can beat a cool shower with a nice ice cold beer after you've done been sweating like crazy on a hot day.. So - I know exactly what your talking about MJ.
May 21, 20188 yr I always have a shower beer after mowing the grass, or pretty much anytime after doing hot outdoor work.
