    I've heard that about mouthwash. I don't carry the stuff.

    LOL some of the showers I've been in (at terminals, not the Pilot/Flying J) are so skanky that they fill up with water up to your ankles because the drain is clogged. Then all of that fecal bacterial soup is washed up over your feet and it doesn't really matter if you're wearing flip flops or not, but I always DO anyway.

    Which are you seeking in your original post... clarification or justification? From comments like this, it appears to be justification... which is another subject all together.

    Come on, it's funny... grown adults debating the intricacies of alcohol consumption in and or about the home and work place.

    I'm just as bad posting this... drivel.

    I think I'll have a shot of single barrel... then again, maybe not... got class tomorrow.

    Clarification to begin with but more defending my position rather than justification afterwards. Might as well have a priest log in and tell me I'm a sinner because I choose to wind down on my own free time with a few beers.

    Look, I have no issues with anyone on this board, but to tell people they have alcohol issues for having a few beers to wind down is insane.

    Like the other driver said, drink that six pack and then another driver hits you in the middle of the night. Guess who now has serious problems?

    How is that an arrestable offense? According to the feds one is simply placed out-of-service (at the least) for having alcohol in the truck.

    The other half found me stumbling around drunk on Bergundy wine.
