Do you drink when you camp?

I have had beer when I was camping with my ex and some friends. We had no kids with us. I have heard some pretty wild campers though lol. If I had little kids I wouldn`t drink. But being all adults I think if it`s kept decent and not rowdy.

I don't drink when I go camping.

I wake up before dawn when I go camping because I like star gazing. The stars seem to be at their brightest before the sun comes up. I just soda if I'm a group where some are drinking beer.

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.

I drink when I am camping with adults. When kids are with us when we camp, we don't drink. I don't drink a lot, but a beer or two isn't a problem for me.

I also drink beer when I camp even when there are kids around. I just make sure that they are asleep before I drink one. The beer relaxes me after a whole day of tiring activities.

My husband will enjoy a couple of beers at the end of the day when we go out camping. I generally don't drink that much, so I really don't feel I'm missing anything.

I will have a few when I'm out camping, but never enough to get out of hand. Just enough to relax and enjoy the great outdoors.

I only take one can of beer and that's enough. I really don't want to get drunk in the wild. This reminds me of some of the movies with people being drunk while camping and when morning comes they are naked sleeping on the ground.

Who doesn't drink when camping would be a better question I think. lol It is like second nature for us to drink when we are camping but drinking doesn't mean get drunk!
