What does going on a beer run entail?

[Cheezy the Wiz]

If it involves running [especially from the law] then you're doing it wrong.

Indeed. The cops should be picking you up from there to take you to the party, if you're doing it right.

 

[sophie]

Going on a beer run is going to a liquor store/CVS/local no questions asked alcohol retailer for the purposes of purchasing alcohol. It doesn't require drunkenness (can be first run of the night if no byob), but it generally implies either minors buying the stuff with a fake, or a 21-year old buying for minors. If 21-year olds buying for themselves or other 21-year olds, it's just buying beer.

 

[illram]

A prerequisite for going on a beer run is your ability to successfully accomplish your singular mission: obtaining enough beer for your fellow drinkers. Therefore, being drunk (if you are driving) or planning on engaging in any law breaking activity that might endanger mission success is not part of the beer run. If so you should not go on the beer run and a more suitable candidate will be tasked with the all-important task of obtaining beer, both of suitable quality and quantity.

I did a beer run to another state in an ice storm once. The guy riding with me was scared sober.

1. go to liquor store
2. buy a ton of vodka (legally - this is a key part!) (if you aren't buying your vodka by the ton, you're doing it wrong)
3. ???
4. Profit! Or drunkenness. Close enough.

Vodka? Psssshhh you're doing it wrong:

As to the OP, the first definition is the most suitable. Although I would add that a "beer run" implies that you are going to get more beer for a party currently in progress after supply has been exhausted, thus making the task more urgent. Getting beer at the beginning of the night before a party has begun I would call "stocking up". But that's just me.

It is called a "Booze run" Dachs, not an alcohol run. You need to party more.

It is called neither a "booze run" nor an "alcohol run"; it is called a "beer run".

I daresay I party more often than you do, since a significant proportion of the time you spend intoxicated is spent at home in front of your computer playing Team Fortress 2, whereas I actually interact with human beings in real life.

Indeed; Beer run is the only name for it.

And referring to the song I once heard, for it to be a beer run, you must satisfy the following conditions:

1. You must have a key.
2. You must have a car.
3. You must have a $10 bill.
4. You must have a sober driver.

 

[LegionSteve]

If you only have $10 you aren't buying enough beer.

technically a beer run is a form of socialism, it entails passing a hat around and collecting, every ones spare cash, preferably at a point when the six pack bringers have only made a slight dent on the slab bringers (24) stock, usually this results in a fishes on the mount moment where not only can the bath tub be fulled with beer again but more ice purchased too... this redistribution of wealth should keep the party going to the wee hours, when the rich are again Taxed to bring in Irish whiskey that was held back in their cars just for these end times moments and with luck will keep the party going till breakfast is served...

 

[Arwon]

Sometimes a beer run is popping over the road to grab another case or two. No car needed in such circumstances.

 

[Zelig]

I run ultramarathons with nothing to drink except for beer.

Whiskey is expensive but soo gooooood when you can afford it.

Whiskey power rankings:
I want my whiskey cheap and dirty: Old Grand Dad Whiskey
I want to mix my whiskey with my vodka: Wild Turkey. One of my coworkers once bought me a fifth of Wild Turkey as a present.
I am buying whiskey for other people, it's their money and I don't want to think: Jack Daniels

Vodka is my go-to generic drink for getting everyone at the party wasted. Regular Smirnoff for the boys strawberry Smirnoff for the ladies.

Read #2 as "you must have a cat." Did not think this was unusual or out of place.

Once again Urban Dictionary

The Beer "runs" is a phenomenon that occurs the day after a particularly heavy drinking session. Students are particularly vulnerable.

The 'victim' awakens and spends the first few minutes in a daze, trying desperately to remember where they were last night, when they came back, who they came back with and how they managed to take their jeans off and climb into bed the wrong way round without taking their shoes off. The 'victim' then becomes aware of the irresistable urge to empty their bowels. This process is known as the 'Beer '.

It is not unusual for the Beer to be stubborn and to insist that the 'victim' empties their bowels at least three times during that day in order to complete the job. The amount of toilet paper required to clean up after each 'mini-Beer ' is substantial, as is the stench that fills the house afterwards.

However, once a particularly nasty Beer has been despensed with, the 'victim' feels infinitely better immediately and is ready to commence alcoholic consumption straight away to start the process again.

All beers produce beer "runs", however, it has been theorized that cheap beers such as "Natural Ice" produce the most painful and smelliest.


Example: Derek's drinking exploits last night lead to a particularly nasty Beer emerging from his rectal passage this morning.

Wait, is profanity okay in this forum? Cause if it is, I like it a lot more.

Explicit is not.

The orgin of beer run came from the time when many counties were dry. For me, a beer run would ential a one hour round trip on an interstate filled with the law. Therefore having discovered the shortage after one has commenced the nights drinking activities one has a true road trip.

This taking you guys back too far, no law against having a beer while driving back then (my youth) so obviously I made more than a few stops on the way on the bridge (river at the county line) to waddle out and throw up out and over the muddy (mostly) flow.

To complicate, this was in the era of muscle car crusing and racing was common on the interstate there. The main streets were bumber to bumber simply April-October and the stretch of insterstate was always full. It was the era of babes in hot pants.

Sigh, I miss the old time beer runs.

 

[Quintillus]

Restocking is what it means. The second definition is probably popular because the imagery is entertaining.
