A photo essay:: What the locals drink

What the locals drink while they are driving. 

Okay, so I do not really know if the driver's were actually drinking while driving or if their passengers were doing all the drinking.  I thought that throwing ones trash out the car window was an urban thing.  Many times having been an eye witness to the car in front of me disposing of their fast food bag while driving the streets of Indianapolis.  I was disappointed to learn that the locals leave their trash behind out here as well. Presumably, throwing empties out their windows as they cruise the lake.  So, what do the locals drink?


























After compiling the data;
the top three beverages of choice are::
Coors Light
Keystone (a nice mix of Ice & Light)
Pabst Blue Ribbon
The oddest empty found, in my opinion, Four LOKO the alcoholic energy drink. Gross. Now, once or twice a week, we grab plastic bags and pick up the empties while we are out with the hounds. Scout and Fletcher think it is great fun. Back and forth across the road and down to the waters edge. In Oregon, we pay deposits on our cans, glass bottles and some plastics. So, we are picking up money. Granted, it is not much but the local homeless guy appreciates the bags of cans he can return for the deposit. Everyone wins.

  1. This is awesome!You guys rock! And I've never seen a more beautiful photo montage of empty beer cans. I think you should send copies to Coors, Keystone, and PBR and encourage them to use some of their profits to start a commercial campaign to encourage their customers to recycle, or at least not be a litterbug. Or perhaps that is how they make sport with the local homeless man?

    1. What a great idea! Seriously, litterbugs suck. It is astounding to me that we can fill two grocery bags one day and the next day there are just as many empties.

  2. In that last case, I meant the locals, not the beer manufacturers. <3
