what is better than a glass of wine out in the wilderness? .. I don't anywhere without my alcohol!

That's what I'm talking about, The Elixir Of Life is all we need as a society. Well no, not really, but yes I'm in the same boat, I don't really drink anymore. I've realized that you don't have to be drunk to laugh at all of the drunks. Family and friends are all the entertainment I need.

Default Do you drink when you camp?

Nope! I used to backpack and camp a lot in Port Angeles, Washiington. You get a little tipsy there you might just take an unexpected dive and no one will ever find you! Besides, we pack in, that stuff is too heavy to lug around. We might keep a few in the trunk for when we get back, but all in all, not the place, and not the time.

Yes I do enjoy a nice cold beer after work or while working around the house, so why not at camp? If you drink in moderation and don't act stupid I usually don't see a problem.

I don't drink when I go camping. There's too much stuff out there to see without blurring my vision with alcohol. A couple of drinks and I couldn't enjoy anything. I love stargazing, going fishing, even just sitting quietly and thinking about absolutely nothing. I'll leave the alcohol for nights out in the city.

If we're just camping, and not doing much hiking or going out on a boat, then yeah, we tend to drink as the sun sets and tell stories before going to bed. As long as everyone stays close and doesn't overdo it, I don't see the harm.

We do have some drinks when we go camping sometimes beer sometimes a few mixed drinks. It's like a mini vacation so relax and have fun!
