That illustrates a lack of dedication I just won't allow aboard Overproof! I
supply "Beer Slings" that fit a can or bottle handily around your neck for
easy access. I also have hats that hold 2 cans with a tube that leads down
to your mouth.... no crew should ever thirst for a brew aboard my vessel.
I used to get complaints about crew members leaving their posts to walk a
blunt to the next in line... now I make certain that sufficient joints are
rolled for each crew member..... efficient and sanitary!
