Having a beer in the shower just got easier

There’s nothing like having a couple drinks before going out to have a couple drinks. That way you are on your A-game from the moment you step outside your house. Unfortunately, time doesn’t always allow for you to kick back and enjoy a beer before it’s time to go. That’s where the shower beer comes into play.
Shakoozie 234x214 Having a beer in the shower just got easierWhen I was in my 20s, the shower beer was a staple of my day. Granted that wasn’t so much a pre-party as it was a drinking problem, but let’s not argue semantics. I’ve always contended that the hot water from the shower opened up the blood streams, allowing the alcohol to absorb faster and hence get drunk quicker. I’m pretty sure that’s something I fabricated, but feel free to use my logic to rationalize your habits as well. If you’ve ever partaken in a shower beer though, you know the problem lies with ensuring that no water makes its way into your typically mediocre beer. Enter the ShaKoozie.
The ShaKoozie is a mix that’s one part ridiculous, one part awesome, and one part WTF is wrong with me. Like the Post-It note or putting a blade on the edge of an tin foil box, it’s so obvious that it’s brilliant. If you had a way to elevate your beer in the shower, you’d never have to worry about water getting in it again. The ShaKoozie does just that. It’s comprised of two components. The first is a giant sticker/Velcro combination called the “Launch Pad” that you stick to the shower wall, and the second is a standard koozie with Velco down the back. The beer goes in koozie, the koozie goes in launch pad, and your dignity goes in the toilet. Not really, but it may be hard to convince your girlfriend that you aren’t a degenerate. It’s well worth the argument though.
The other thing I initially overlooked because I was so in awe of the lack of soap in my beer is that it stays significantly colder. Hot water hitting a can has a surprising tendency to warm up beer. The koozie manages to keep the beer chilled even as burning hot magma blasts the the back of my neck for 20 minutes while I make waterfalls with my crossed arms.
I’m sure you’re thinking, “I could just make one of these for myself.” Yes, you might be able to, but you won’t. You aren’t about to take that much time for something like this, especially when you know your first few models will fail miserably, and you’ll end up spending more money on wasted beers and trips to Michael’s. It’s $10, and if you want a beer in the shower (which you should), it definitely worth it. Check out ShaKoozie.com for more.
