Ladies I have a small question
H will be home for a visit sometime in Janurary. (he is not military anymore). I will be picking him up at the airport and was wondering if a sign that said welcome home, lets get a beer would be a poor choice or not?
Just a tad backstory my husband likes trying new beer and having one when he can for dinner. You know some people like wine with dinner, he likes a beer. Anyway where they are you can not purchase acholol with out a permit and the permits are $$$. He has been dying to have one.
I plan taking him to dinner at a brewery and think it would be funny.
Opinons?
Re: Ladies I have a small question
That is a thought lol, but would it still be considered open container lol. H will want to get in the car! lol
Hummmmm.... thinking about it I just might lol
Well this obviously isn't legal, but I would just bring a coffee mug or something for him to pour it in. Or he could drink it while waiting for his bag. If he likes beer that much and it's been so long he could probably chug it in that time.
Yeah it's pretty dumb to bring booze to the airport, he can prob get a drink on the plane...
Really? I'm not saying have him get hammered. But if he loves beer that much that she wants to put it on a sign, then yeah I don't see a problem surprising him with his favorite beer. I don't see how that's such a BFD.

I'd leave the nice dinner a surprise.
I concur with the recommendation to not break the law. I don't care how much a person loves alcohol, they don't need to pregame before going out to dinner with the spouse they haven't seen in however long.
Reallly? Over react much? Calm the frig down. You're being ridiculous.
I totally agree. Just do a regular welcome home sign if you want to. Leave the beer out of it and leave the nice dinner a surprise.
how about making a pit stop at a bar in the airport? Back home they just added a restaurant outside security.
Otherwise my personal opinion, wait until you get to the brewery/dinner.
I don't think saying "let's get a beer" would necessarily be a poor choice. It's not my personal taste or my hubby's (My husband typically only like's signs that say welcome home DH and nothing else really). It's really more about what you think and what he would think.
I wouldn't bring a beer to the airport. If I were in his shoes, I would think I'd rather sit down and enjoy it instead of finish it quickly.
Having said all that, you know your husband best. Think about what he'd like best.
That is what H says lol. I will just wait till we get to the brewery. I will think about the sign. Not even sure now if I want to do a sign, thinking about having to acutally lug it in, and holding it. (because of shoulder)
The sign doesn't have to be huge or heavy. If you're really that worried about dealing with it though, you can always do without and just tell him what you have planned. I'm sure that he will appreciate it either way.
