I find the coolant resovoir makes a good coozie when you take the lid off. The coolant even keeps it cool!

Can't say I do. Fans of "British style" brews would condemn me for this, but I'm hopelessly American in that I can't deal with the warm ones. I don't like 'em ice cold either (kills the taste) but a nice cool brew that's about 45-50 degrees is usually perfection in a mug.

Better question would be how many beers had you consumed this morning before posting?
Dude - that's the sad part. I haven't had any beer yet today! Guess I'll need to make up for it when I get home and lift the hood on the next project.

Keep mine on the workbench as well. I also have a fridge in the garage for quick replenishments.

The boot of my triumph is very flat........ It's multi-function. Beer holder, cigarette holder, and tool bench!

I don't drink beer because I'm not old enough.

But I put my tomato juice on the fuse box.

I used to keep it on the toolbox but it wasn't quite red-necky enough. Now it's in my pocket or waistband. (longnecks only, no cans)

The hell with the spills, beer and working under the hood leads to broken glass!
Fortunately the beer fridge is right next to the computer so checking Rennlist, Clark's garage, etc is a chance for a refill, Beers that do make it outside usually end up on the microfiche viewer (manuals on fiche ).

I won't retype my reply that I put in the other thread. However, I will say that the beer goes wherever it is within easy reach. Sometimes it's the fusebox (so that I can spill it on the engine), other times it's on the floor (so that I can spill it on the floor after I kick it).

I go through a lot of beer while working on the cars...

Since I don't drink, nowhere.

Just good ole high quality H20 for me, and I generally put it on the nearest workbench.
