I went to college at Mississippi State University. Back then we could not buy cold beer in town. Unless it was winter time, of course.
I am generally not a fan of drunk driving, but for the life of me I don’t see the issue with a guy having a beer or three on his way home from work. By the time the buzz kicks in, 99% of commuters will be pulling in their driveway, safely.
Nothing taste better than a really cold beer after a hard day of working outside in the summertime. Again, not defending drunk driving, but I simply can’t get worked up about a dude having a beer on the way home.
