Riot and Frolic

There was this mysterious concept I heard of several years ago (probably in my last few years at college, in hindsight) called a "beer shower".  I could not fathom what this term referred to at the time, which is really a shame.

I now know that a beer shower is the action where, upon finding one's self hungover (or maybe in preparation for a big day of shenanigans), a person fetches a cold one from the fridge and precedes, with beverage, into the shower for the usual cleaning regimen, imbibing the refreshment periodically.  It is known as "hair of the dog" or "the preamble" depending on the situation.  

Often, I've "needed" to take my coffee into the shower with me.  I reeeeeeally enjoy relaxing with my cuppa in the "morning" (aka before anything requiring brain activity happens, which might be in what most people call the "afternoon").  My nearly-meditative enjoyment of my coffee usually runs into my oh-my-gosh-I-ran-5-miles-and-smell-terrible-and-am-about-to-go-in-public panic, leaving me with liquid still in my cup.  

To extend the reverie and make it even better, I take my coffee with me in the shower and set it on the ledge within arm's reach and out of the stream of water, similar to the above-mentioned beer shower.  I finish my coffee in the relative peace and quiet and solitude of the bathroom and proceed to be the little ray of sunshine you see now.

Need to make your morning less worse or more better?  Enjoy a beer or coffee shower and start your day off right!

In other words, cheers!
