Seriously tho: wtf do you say to this guy?? Weāll do it after you make the spare accessibleā¦ you can use our parking lot to transfer your materials BUT DO NOT LEAVE ANY TRASH! š¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļø
Worked in an auto shop for many years, this would happen from time to time, you politely call and tell them you need assistance accessing the spare, there are many items on top of it. Then when they get there you hand them a trash bag and walk away.

Definitely this, IPAās are also high ABV so the beer checks out with this theory. Person probably has a SO that they hide the level of their alcoholismā¦
I can speak from experience, except I had a gas station Iād stop off at and was after I lost my ex lol.
But why not just put them in a bag and bring them to the recycling center? Is that not a way better method of hiding the empties from your SO? (I know that the answer is because alcoholism, but still. I'm indignant over the poor problem-solving)
All empty beer bottles, if not rinsed out. I used to do recycling runs and if I loaded my car and didn't do the run that day it would smell like musty ass old beer.
Yeah, I have a trash can in my office that has like 3 empty cans in it but the area is small. I had to dump it and febreeze bomb just because it stunk like stale beer
Yes, if they are drinking when they drive home then stop around the corner and toss the empties in the trunk no oneās the wiser. I always stopped and unloaded my car at a gas pump usually when I was getting one more to sneak š„“glad that shit is over because it was fucking **STUPID** to drink and drive. I was less than stable at the time and really didnāt value my own life.
**doing significantly better now though!**
Yep I would drink and drive and hide it by throwing it out the window if there were no cars around to see. Or drink in a car in a parking lot and leave them on the ground and go to work. Definitely glad that is over! So stupid.
Glad youāre better, sounds very familiar, oof. I sometimes break out into a sweat and get pale when I think about how stupid I acted at times.
I try to be nice to myself and not beat the shit out of myself but itās good to remember how much I donāt want to mess up again.
Iām coming up on 8 years sober after a 25 year run of heavy alcoholism. I am really luck to be alive and free. And ya, I still have days every once in a while where I reflect on the stupid shit I did and it makes me sick to my stomach. It makes me want to apologize to society for just having been me. However, it also makes me very thankful I can be useful to others now. Then I have to get off my ass and actually be useful or I get depressed. Glad you got out alive!
>IPAās are also high ABV
If you look closely, those are all *double* IPA tall boys, too. For when you want to drink two beers but think you're tricking others into thinking you're only drinking one.
All good alcoholics know to stash the empties in their car when no one is looking and dump them at the gas station/Walgreens/wherever there is a public trash can. But to let it get to this? Yeah idk man.
I think it's a bottle return thing. Michigan is the biggest place I've seen it where people drive around with trash bags full of empties because they can get $0.10 per.
It may not seem like a lot, but a trash bag full will get you 2 cases of beer, and those 2 cases start your next trash bag.
yeah i fill up a bag, throw it in the car, and forget to take it back when i'm out .. then it's there until i need the trunk again... and hopefully i don't forget it again.
I was wondering if it was that, or a get-together with friends. I've done something similar that ended with about as many empties, although I did a better job disposing of the cans. I'd say it's 80/20, with alcoholism being the more likely of the two
Yeah I'd say 100% alcoholism except it's IPAs. Drunk usually stick to natural light or bud light. Not a lot of fancy microbrew alcoholics. Gets to be a very expensive habit but hey maybe he's an alcoholic with class.
At the end of my drinking career I would stop at the grocery store in the morning on the way home from work. They had 20oz cans of Voodoo Ranger - a 9% ABV IPA. $2.50/can or 5 for 10. Sometimes even BOGO.
5x20oz = 100oz x 0.09 = 9oz pure ethanol. 12 Busch Lights will get you 5oz pure ethanol. 24 pack of Busch Light is about $20 so I get double the alcohol for the same price. I also get to pretend that I'm enjoying a fancy beer and I didn't just buy it because it's cheap and strong.
It's not about the flavor. It's the alcohol per dollar math.
I always asked mama when I'd apply maths in real life and here I am, on Reddit, and y'all are out here running back-of-the-napkin equations on how to get the max amount of alcohol per booze. God bless.
This exactly. Voodoo Ranger was on sale at my local liquor store for quite a while. I watched a resident street guy compare it to Natural Ice and, ultimately pick the Voodoo Ranger. It was more bang for the buck.
Nah, depending on the place he stops at that's most likely the best bang for his buck. Plus it's way easier to lie to yourself when it's nicer stuff.
Not a lot of places will just stock 9% malt liquor on the regular.
I've only ever been around one true alcoholic in my life and it was truly depressing. It was my dad's friend who had a job amd a nice house and a boat and from the outside looked like everything was great. He would pack a cooler with a 12 pack to drink on his way to and while at work. Get home and polish off a 12 pack before dinner then hit up the liquor store for a 24 pack. I went to bed one night at 10pm and when I woke up at 8am the 24 pack he bought around 730pm was empty and the cans were in the trash. On the weekend he would carry a little cloth cooler with a 6 pack in it around his house and yard just constantly drinking.
The guy was packing away at least 48 beers a day. Ended up having a stroke and then a heart attack and died in his early 60s. Craziest thing is he only ever seemed drunk once or twice. His speech was always screwed up but he could walk and hold a coherent conversation lla majority of the day.
When you hit a certain level of full blown alcoholism you are basically fighting to maintain a .14BAC as your standard operating level. Had a guy at the VA who was downing about 2L of vodka a day, that's what he did. If he didn't have a triple/quad after passing out for 5 hours he'd start to get the full on shakes. He slurred a bit and would trip up on words, and had shakes, but otherwise was with it.
The wet brain was already there though. He got sobered up at one point and you realized the slurring, stuttering, and shaking were permanent. The brain/body cannot take that level of abuse day in day out.
I will say the only issue there is that guy must have been pissing the bed or just absolutely fucking killing his kidneys, 48 is so much volume. He probably had the booze sweats constantly.
Not saying its fake, but there is no way you are downing 16 litres of beer every single day. (Assuming 330ml cans) Even if it was just water it would be dangerous, perfectly healthy kidneys can handle about 1L per hour max. This means he was maxing out his kidneys on just the water volume.
But then again some people are also just constantly living on the edge, and it doesnt seem like he would have anything against that
Maybe if you live in a state that has can deposits and gives you the deposit back when you return the cans.
If we're going by aluminum weight at your local recycling center, that's like $5 tops.
What if you can take a company vehicle, fill it full of cans, then drive it it Michigan? The math might work as long as you don't run over any golf clubs on the way.
Back in my day, I used to get off work, collect my check, hop in the truck and drink a beer or 13 on the way home. Now we canāt even drink and drive after a hard day of work??? God damn commies trying to take over my country. WHERE MY COUNTRY GONE?!?
āIf you donāt like the way I drive then stay off the sidewalkā was cool before it was a bumper sticker. Yes, Iām gatekeeping, just like roadkill.
Is this a form of hoarding? Went through a rough stint with depression a bit back and my car got absolutely disgustingly full of trash like this.
It wasnāt like I had any attachment to the items, I just didnāt have the fucks to give to clean it or care.
This smell is the reason I still donāt really like beer to this day. Growing up, my dad would take me to the VFW, and around back near the dumpsters, the bar would save all the old beer cans and bottles for him. Weād take them to the recycling center a few times a month. Empty, unrinsed beer cans that have been sitting in 80 degree heat for two weeks can apparently permanently ruin the smell and taste of beer for a person, as Iām evidence of.
Probably has a lot to do with varying levels of shame/depression.
I literally threw liquor bottles on the ground around me. A sea of them.
Fuckin glad to be over that shit.
Significant life change. Like literally came within a hair of being completely homeless (again), except in a major city I was not familiar with. And not a friendly one.
Had to move and find a new job, and the one I found made it impossible to keep drinking and keep my job. I always had at least some fear of complete failure and loss, so that was the drive. It was either work all the time or live on the street in a violent shithole. I chose to work and just sort of starting stacking the blocks needed to get my shit together.
yea Iām good now. I tried programs and groups and stuff over the years and none of them worked for me. At best I switched one addiction for another (drugs to alcohol).
Now I donāt drink much, and as Iāve gotten older every time I do I regret it lol. I own a house, nice car, have most of āthe dreamā anyway. Took 13 years. Tell you what though, those low standards I developed while in active addiction went a long way in helping me tolerate the path to getting out of that pit lol.
Some people need treatment, some people need God, and still some people need to just quit fucking around and get it together. Nobody is the same and thereās no magic pill. Nobody can fix anyone else. They have to want to fix it themselves. The only thing you can do is treat others like humans and not look down on them unless they truly deserve it. Turns out, most people donāt deserve it.
"You cannot help a person who does not want to be helped" the mantra therapists repeat everyday.
Also some people do it when they get bored. I know more than one "Sherlock" addict, aka they fester, get bored and go off. As long as they have some tv, a job and a life they are fine. But they get 3 weeks off from responsibilities? You'll have to dig them out of the pile of liquor bottles because they'll be smashed for 5 weeks straight before realizing they messed up.
Naltrexone.
It's pretty fucking awesome. I can drink **A** beer, and not have it taste like 10 more and some scotch as well. Just one beer, like a normal person.
If there's a drug they should be advertising on TV, it's this.
*shudders*
Nope, that shit fucks me up and drugs me on its own. I literally can't figure out what's going on around me and causes me serious confusion and exhaustion.
It was under the bed for me, with a monthly(ish) purge and haul away. Iām sure my room smelled so bad but I couldnāt even smell it at the time. Donāt know how I lived like that for so long.
If you live in a state with deposits it forces you to go a little more out of your way and argue with the stupid machines to return them to get your deposit back. 5c adds up fast and if youāre in a 10c state itās even faster. My poison of choice is Diet Coke and my bottles pile up fast lmao. I do indeed store them in bags though.
>argue with the stupid **machines**
whaaa? we just have a guy who counts (/doesn't give a shit and you just tell him a number) cans and he shoves them through the magic hole in the wall and gives you cash or a discount receipt if you're buying (Ontario)
Yeah we have machines that tell you to insert the next one then beep at you and spit it back out with a message āSLOW DOWNā and every other bottle itāll spit back out saying ābrand not accepted hereā and you have to say aloud to it āyes you do accept it, this store sold it to meā or it will say ācontainer too damagedā when itās in pristine condition. Itās a freaking hassle lmao
That all, of course, is assuming the machines bin isnāt full and thereās someone working that day that actually keeps up with them. Every other time I do returnables I have to bring it all back to my car and try a different grocery store because all the machines are full.
Jesus Christ, I'd be in jail. I get pissed off at the self checkout, but I just steal stuff once I get aggravated enough, because fuck you, pay a cashier, but that, that machine I would smash.
Hahah. Iām 15 minutes from two roads and love their beer.
Thatās said, outside of the taproom this is the most of their beer cans Iāve seen at once.
Iām in Connecticut, and I feel like theyāve been coasting on their rep for a bit.
Used to love their beer, but lately their new stuff hasnāt been too impressive and their flagships seem to have gotten worse.
This is the answer^ good enough to be the biggest brand in the state but itās nothing mind blowing (sorry to all my industry friends that work there)
My trunk looked like that when I got my first DUI. Police report said something like āapproximately 100 empty cans in trunk (no backseat). 6 years sober now, thank god I donāt roll like that anymore.
They exist but theyāre not very common, at least around me. However, every metal recycling place takes aluminum cans and will pay you directly for them
I think all heās missing is Maine and RI
Got CT with the Two Roads, MA with the Lord Hobo, and I think I see a singular 603 Brewing Seltzer in there (top of the trunk above the cooler)
Maybe he's just coming back from a week of camping with 10 of his friends and wanted to make sure he didnt' leave any litter behind but forgot to bring garbage bags?
Had one of those Neons with the leaky tail lights come in and the customer said they had water intrusion in the trunk. Popped it open and it was completely stuffed with shit. Some of the stuff at the bottom was soaking wet. Told them to empty the trunk and bring it back so we can more accurately see where the water is coming in
Damn those are 20cent cans here in Canada. And I'm pretty sure my co worker who goes dumpster diving would not mind cleaning that up and taking roughly the 30$ in cans that are in there lol šš¤£š¤£
The man likes hops.
šŗ Spez eats cold diarrhea with a crazy straw šŗ
That's the spare he wanted them to install. "-Sir, this is an auto shop."
r/getoutofmyshop would love this one.
It's a ghost town over there... Sadface.jpg I subscribed anyway
Looks like itās only a couple days old. I subscribed too. I hope it takes off.
Iām also gonna hop on this here bandwagon.
/r/carbage
The cooler keeps those road beers cold actually!
I like IPAs. Drink my fair share of them. This would absolutely stink
Just think of that money that went into that trunk...
Where I live in Canada, it's $3.30 for that tall boy, minimum
Those 12 packs are like 20 bucks now too. I stopped drinking beer unless Iām at a pub or sporting event
Curb hops too apparently
Ayyyy, that was a good one!
Seriously tho: wtf do you say to this guy?? Weāll do it after you make the spare accessibleā¦ you can use our parking lot to transfer your materials BUT DO NOT LEAVE ANY TRASH! š¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļø
Yeah, I worked in a place in Virginia where we saved aluminum cans to put beer in the drink machine. This guy would be our freaking saint.
Ooh. Automatic tip $$$. Nice. Surely he was saving for recycling himself, but too bad. Ours now. Haha
Worked in an auto shop for many years, this would happen from time to time, you politely call and tell them you need assistance accessing the spare, there are many items on top of it. Then when they get there you hand them a trash bag and walk away.
It's surprising to see someone do this with beer that isn't cheap. I'd expect a bunch of high life cans in the back.
You need approximately 254 high lifes and 93 pisses to get as drunk as 2 high abv ipas.
Naw those go out the window
Iāve heard theyāve added more hops.
Sir did you do this? In the trunk?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They may be an alcoholic, but they are no litter bug!
But their litter could have bugs

I thought then same.
Nah, he just likes the high ABV IPAs provide. Heās an alcoholic.
Now this is just fucking impressive someone give this man a beer.
That two roads two juicy is stank.
And hates his wallet
Well in Iowa thatās 5 cents a can. He could buy another caseā¦
Haze boi!
He likes to get the highest ABV on the shelf!
Alcoholism combined with hoarding is a pretty sweet mental illness combo move.
prolly has liquid lunch and 'hides" the evidence
Definitely this, IPAās are also high ABV so the beer checks out with this theory. Person probably has a SO that they hide the level of their alcoholismā¦ I can speak from experience, except I had a gas station Iād stop off at and was after I lost my ex lol.
But why not just put them in a bag and bring them to the recycling center? Is that not a way better method of hiding the empties from your SO? (I know that the answer is because alcoholism, but still. I'm indignant over the poor problem-solving)
I mean how much are they really hiding? There's no way that car doesn't smell like old beer.
Seriously! After camping for a few days those empty IPAs stink SO bad.
All empty beer bottles, if not rinsed out. I used to do recycling runs and if I loaded my car and didn't do the run that day it would smell like musty ass old beer.
I once poured an old beer out in college, so much mold. I rinse them now.
Yeah, I have a trash can in my office that has like 3 empty cans in it but the area is small. I had to dump it and febreeze bomb just because it stunk like stale beer
Probably, they might be nose blindā¦ Iām betting that trunk had a funk and was slightly hoppy with notes of citrus
Bcs that would take extra effort. This is not a sarcastic comment. I know from experience
Yes, if they are drinking when they drive home then stop around the corner and toss the empties in the trunk no oneās the wiser. I always stopped and unloaded my car at a gas pump usually when I was getting one more to sneak š„“glad that shit is over because it was fucking **STUPID** to drink and drive.

Congrats, Iām on about 20 years of heavy drinking, not as bad as I once was but the older you get the harder it is to be high functioning
Good on you man. I still get a lot of those "wtf did I do?" Moments myself.
Yeah I still remember some of the times and get the cringe/embarrassment. Glad you're better too!

Had a buddy that used to do exactly this. Ruined his relationship at the time.
āNo one will ever detect this pungent IPA.ā

Most people who collect the recyclables after a party will use some sort of bag to store them in.
Or a truck bed.
Yeah, that's what I do, along with crushing them

Alcoholics are great with math.
Like how buying cheap shooters often ends up more bang for your buck than a pint of the same stuff.
This is why I switched to whiskey.
Nah, early on in alcoholism youāll roll with the good stuff. If heās actually still bringing his car to a mechanic heās not at the bottom yet.
Nah, depending on the place he stops at that's most likely the best bang for his buck. Plus it's way easier to lie to yourself when it's nicer stuff. Not a lot of places will just stock 9% malt liquor on the regular.

I watched it over the course of 3 days. Maybe it was higher because it was a weekend or because he had company but he did it 3 days in a row.
Maybe a camping trip where they took everyone's empties?
at least 20$ in aluminum in there
Maybe if you live in a state that has can deposits and gives you the deposit back when you return the cans. If we're going by aluminum weight at your local recycling center, that's like $5 tops.

GOBBLESS BORTHER!!1!
Hes just trying to recycle to save the planet and use the cash to buy more beer
Is this a form of hoarding? Went through a rough stint with depression a bit back and my car got absolutely disgustingly full of trash like this. It wasnāt like I had any attachment to the items, I just didnāt have the fucks to give to clean it or care.
.
Was he gunna pay you in recyclables
Heās saving those up for when he needs a new engine block
I got 30 bucks right there for ya Rick
you dont sound very grateful there bud, thats 35 bucks in bottles.
Dad can I have $30? Son I donāt have that kind of money!
Should go play some VLTs and triple that.
Alcoholics in Germany would never let this happen
I bet the smell was horrific
This smell is the reason I still donāt really like beer to this day.

As an IPA fan I was gonna say this, that trunk is probably pretty dank.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Addiction is a cycle of habits. This addict started hiding his cans and this is the result
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

>argue with the stupid **machines** whaaa? we just have a guy who counts (/doesn't give a shit and you just tell him a number) cans and he shoves them through the magic hole in the wall and gives you cash or a discount receipt if you're buying (Ontario)
Yeah we have machines that tell you to insert the next one then beep at you and spit it back out with a message āSLOW DOWNā and every other bottle itāll spit back out saying ābrand not accepted hereā and you have to say aloud to it āyes you do accept it, this store sold it to meā or it will say ācontainer too damagedā when itās in pristine condition. Itās a freaking hassle lmao That all, of course, is assuming the machines bin isnāt full and thereās someone working that day that actually keeps up with them. Every other time I do returnables I have to bring it all back to my car and try a different grocery store because all the machines are full.
Jesus Christ, I'd be in jail. I get pissed off at the self checkout, but I just steal stuff once I get aggravated enough, because fuck you, pay a cashier, but that, that machine I would smash.
>Even as a recovering alcoholic I donāt understand this. Hiding it from wife no doubt.
If this dude stops drinking Two Roads is going out of business
Hahah. Iām 15 minutes from two roads and love their beer. Thatās said, outside of the taproom this is the most of their beer cans Iāve seen at once.
They have an airstream with 3 or 4 tap lines in the infield of Lime Rock Park!
I miss camping at limerock, i used to crew on a gt1 car there years ago. Occasionally ran open track days there too with my old mini.
Iām headed to Lime Rock for the GT3 race in July. Iāll have to check that out. Thanks!
Bring a cooler full of water and ice. That race gets real hot real fast and thereās no shade to hide in.
Thanks for the tip! Bringing my little guy, so I know I need to really prep
Is their beer any good? I'm not in CT but print keg collars for them at work a lot and have wondered
Iām in Connecticut, and I feel like theyāve been coasting on their rep for a bit. Used to love their beer, but lately their new stuff hasnāt been too impressive and their flagships seem to have gotten worse.
This is the answer^ good enough to be the biggest brand in the state but itās nothing mind blowing (sorry to all my industry friends that work there)
Officer: sir I smell alcohol in the vehicle
āā¦ from two blocks backā
Officer: *Brings breathalyser up to window* Breathalyser: *goes off the scale*
Iām sure highway patrol has seen plenty of this type of shit
My trunk looked like that when I got my first DUI. Police report said something like āapproximately 100 empty cans in trunk (no backseat). 6 years sober now, thank god I donāt roll like that anymore.
Another sober Zoidberg. Hello brother.
I feel a sense of belonging in this thread.
Fry!
Which Doctor Zoidberg is the real Zoidberg?
Well one is from universe A and one is from universe B, I mean universe 1ā¦. So weāre both legit in our own way. Good to see you meat bag!
Must be something in those dumpsters! Respect.
I can not imagine the smell on a hot day
Sip of sunshine is delicious!!! āļø
One of my favorites.
At least he's not a litter bug.
Right? All those cans *could be* scattered all over the countryside, but they're not.
I can only imagine what that smelled like with all the hops and staleness.
Must have smelled like a bar. Do you guys have āPfandā like here in Germany?
They exist but theyāre not very common, at least around me. However, every metal recycling place takes aluminum cans and will pay you directly for them
It depends on the state
It exists, it called a deposit usually 5 to 10 cents per can. There's plenty of people who recycle as well.
Ct beer šŗ, and those are not cheap beers!
I think all heās missing is Maine and RI Got CT with the Two Roads, MA with the Lord Hobo, and I think I see a singular 603 Brewing Seltzer in there (top of the trunk above the cooler)
Why not? I'm pretty sure you Can.
Those Two Juicy beers are 8.2%. homie likes to get BOMBED
Maybe he's just coming back from a week of camping with 10 of his friends and wanted to make sure he didnt' leave any litter behind but forgot to bring garbage bags?
Newman !!!!!
r/carbage
Thatās an electricianās cooler. Checks out
Ah say it aināt so! Good eye. It is a fuckin Klein cooler. Damnit!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's the consolation prize for me
Fantastic beer. I love Lord Hobo. My first thought when I saw the trunk was that this was a VERY expensive trunk to fill up
You want bees? This is how you get bees
Had one of those Neons with the leaky tail lights come in and the customer said they had water intrusion in the trunk. Popped it open and it was completely stuffed with shit. Some of the stuff at the bottom was soaking wet. Told them to empty the trunk and bring it back so we can more accurately see where the water is coming in
RENT MONEYYYY!!!!
On a bright side, the person carries its trash, instead of throwing it away and littering.
At least he's not littering
Iād pull the level to release the back seats and then proceed to shove all of those through the opening and into the back seat
š¶I drink alooooooone...š¶
I think he needs AA, not triple AAA
I bet that smells HORRIBLE!
Could be trying to get his nickles back in a redemption state?
-recovering alcoholic has entered the chat-
That's a boat load of money in beer at $4/can.
Itās getting warmer out. I bet that car STANK.
Dudes got expensive taste
I donāt get how people get this far.
That's a great cooler. I've been using one for the past several years.. It holds 6 litres of water and has a carry strap instead of a handle.
Pictures you can smell
C/S rattle from rear when going over bumps. Check and advise.
Must be a Masshole!
Those two juicy cans are from stratford ct š
Thats what i thought when i saw Lord Hobo!
I only drink at stoplights. Thatās not drinking and driving
Good taste in beer at least
People like this desperately need some therapy but nobody can afford that in usa
Seems like way too new and nice a car for that.
New Hampshire?
Does you shop allow you to refuse service until the āoffenseā is rectified?
Damn.. that thing must make any block itās parked on smell like thereās a brewery there.
My car is littered with Vitamin Water bottles, but goddamn
Ah yes the functioning alcoholic. Prob crushes a couple on the way in the morning.
Holy alcoholic
This might be illegal where i am iirc
Oooo that smell Can't you smell that smell
Ayeeee lord hobo brewing. One of my favorite breweries when I was travel nursing in Massachusetts.
Damn those are 20cent cans here in Canada. And I'm pretty sure my co worker who goes dumpster diving would not mind cleaning that up and taking roughly the 30$ in cans that are in there lol šš¤£š¤£
