Beer tastes better in the car/truck. Discuss.

no

It's always tasted better in the backseat for some reason.

I once drove to Albany through VT drinking mead. it was awesome.

Drive while tripping on mushrooms or false.

I'm too old to have any interest in acid or mushrooms anymore. Definitely too stressful driving on that shit.

And I'm not even talking about driving around completely shitfaced. This is about enjoying a few while cruising around backroads. For some reason, it always tastes better.

Agreed.

yeah, i agree with you. also on the acid... it has been a loooong time and i don't think i would deal well with it now. unless someone's got a vhs tape with 6hrs of the state on it.

Yea. It's not so much that I CAN'T drive on acid or whatever, I just don't WANT to drive while tripping. Just like if I wanted to I could work in a soup kitchen on acid, but I would rather walk around in the woods or listen to a record.

last time i drove while tripping i somehow managed to drive the wrong way down every one-way street in worcester.

Must be about 15 years since I've tripped on anything. Really can't remember much, besides the time I was a passenger coming back from a Great Woods event (when it was still Great Woods), and my buddy came waaaaay too close to becoming intimate with a jersey barrier on the highway. We were both tripping pretty good, and I finally woke him up from his stupor before we both died. Brool story.

+1 for feeling too old for hallucinogens.

Really really suprised I have never been arrested for DUI. (knocks on wood)

Wouldn't say drinking while driving makes it taste better. Maybe if I was drinking shitty beer but I usually like to sit back and enjoy some high end brews.

last time I tripped was 10 years ago

Road sodas should definitely be canned beverages. +1000 hillbilly points if you crush the can and toss it out the slider into the pick-up truck bed.

Yeah i used to down a 40oz on the way from manchester to boston on the way to shows. Stop at that super liquor store somtimes and mix my soda with adult water also. Not my proudest moments, but i didnt get buzzed until right before boston so fuck it.

40s are the way to go for this, cuz if you get pulled over you can screw the cap on and be all like "problem ociffer?"

id love to watch the porcupine racetrack sketch on repeat while tripping

My id killed my superego just reading that sentence.

Maybe I've always been too old for tripping, I only did it once close to 6 years ago and I ended up puking and feeling like I was going to die. That's what I get for tripping with morons though.

I've driven on mushrooms before. It wasn't ideal but I had to get home from hiking on a mountain in Vermont in the middle of winter and the sun had gone down. yeesh.

I loved driving while stoned/tripping. One time the road turned into an oil slick rainbow, route 3 South. Best Buy was all day glo blue, it was fucking RAD.
Then we get back to Punker Joe's house and his Mom is banging her boyfriend on the couch, so we just stood outside laughing while Joe had a mental breakdown. classic

You son of a bitch, you killed my son.

Turn on the wipers when it isn't raining and get too distracted to look at the road about it.

the older i get, the more interested i am in mushrooms. i feel like i'm mentally at a point where i can experience what they have to offer in a much more profound sense, rather than eating them at a party and going bonkers, or taking heroic doses to see how fucked up i can get.

and road sodas are a favorite of mine. i usually take a beer with me when i go somewhere, Beck's makes for a delicious drive.

i do not have any interest in driving fucked up though, the last time i did that i can't believe i didn't die/kill someone. i drove while tripping once, and the S curve on 290 was almost too much to handle.

Nah, driving completely fucked up is sucky and stressful. This is about having a few while leisurely cruising around.

I can usually handle myself pretty good after a night of drinking and have been getting better at holding my alcohol/managing myself in general for obvious reasons. I remember driving down 295 once to get home completely trashed and having to pull over to the side of the highway and throw up. I feel super lucky I didn't get caught and pretty bad about the fact I ended up driving that trashed in the first place.

I remember one instance coming home from a party when I was at UR(h)I where I pulled over , leaned out the window, and blasted puke down the side of my car. Made it home and hugged the bowl for a few more hours. No idea how I didn't get arrested, but I maintain no matter how fucked up you are, if you concentrate on the task at hand, and pay attention to your surroundings, your chances of getting home greatly increase.

I've never puked while driving, definitely done that a couple times as a passenger though.

bingo. the last time i drove completely trashed, mentioned above, i made it home fine in a manual car, and parallel parked in my driveway. i figured that used up all of my mulligans.

try banging out a shot while you're driving. Back when I was married I used to hit off my wife while she handled the wheel and then it would be puke city all over the drivers side. Driving from Lawrence to Nashua was just too fucking long to wait til we got home
(and no, I dont do that shit anymore)
