When at a party, while everybody is drinking, you are sipping on non-alcoholic beer.
The
word and usage comes from the
red cans of Old Milwaukee Non-Alcoholic beer.
Normally,
red canning it, refers to Mormons who
don't drink alcohol (5%), responsible people who
don't drink alcohol(5%), or potential sex offenders who generally do drink alcohol but just are looking to "score" on a pissed-drunk young (most likely under-aged)
woman (90%).
Despite the reason, every person red canning it, appears to be drinking and therefore:
1. receives no questions about not drinking;
2. does not appear gay;
3. receives minimal peer pressure;
4. gets all the numbers; and
5. makes out with all the girls who are drunk.
Dude One: Dude Two! She totally made out with me while I was
red canning it. I remember the whole thing!
Dude Two: Do you know what
Megan's
Law is?
