street beer
noun {C or U}
Any beer imbibed by a thrift-minded pedestrian en route to a venue (where additional alcohol is likely to be served). In locales with open container laws, street beers are consumed furtively, and disposed of in a similar fashion, when the pedestrian is at a safe distance from lampposts, neon signage, and other treacherous light sources. In places with no such laws, street beers are best swilled in time with the pace of walking and conversation. Often, a person will be forced to chug a street beer outside her destination if the venue does not allow outside beverages. Evidently, street beers are the classiest form of predrinking besides wine kegstands.
