I don't take any liquor with me when camping, and the thought of having it along on a hike is kind of nuts. But I have a friend who frequently has a drink of an evening. Do you consider this risky?

Not at all. Having a few drinks while sitting around the campfire after the kids have gone to bed can be quite relaxing. Always drink responsibly though!

Of course I don't think it's risky. The camp grounds that we go to actually sell alcohol in their little stores. I do not see anything wrong with taking a couple of beers with you camping, it's supposed to be relaxing for everyone.

I don't drink when we go camping, but I don't really drink that much, period. My husband though makes sure to pack enough beer to at least have a couple (or so:tinysmile_twink_t:) each evening. It's a vacation, right?

I agree with the responses here; some responsible drinking once everyone has settled in for the night isn't very dangerous. I have heard some horror stories involving irresponsible drinking, though, and that's where trouble sets in.

I don't drink personally for reasons of my own, but if someone wants a couple of drinks, I don't have a problem with it. As long as they don't get dead dog drunk and tear up the place and ruin everyone's good time, I don't have a problem with it.

Here's a reply to this topic I posted in another thread:

"I really enjoy beer. Not the yellow fizzy stuff, but small-batch brew IPA, usually. I think enjoying a beer (I will usually get a 22oz bottle) of the highest quality such that its organic ingredients bring you closer to nature can enhance your outdoor experience.

So, yes, I do drink when I camp. If you want to try my method, might I suggest a Moylan's Hopsickle Imperial IPA. It's made at a small brew pub in northern California, but they distribute nationwide. If you really look hard enough, you should be able to find a place that sells them tucked in and around this great country."
