If you are looking for the title of "World's Coolest Girlfriend", you may want to consider getting your boyfriend a beer helmet. A cheap plastic knockoff of a safety helmet equipped to hold two cans or bottles of brew and straws to drink them with might seem silly to some. Certain men may even feel insulted if they received one as a gift. But maybe, just maybe, you have the kind of guy that not only would appreciate the beer helmet but accept it as a symbol of your relationship.
Most guys at a Sunday afternoon football party have a girl at home brooding over how their man isn't spending his free time with her. She sends him text messages throughout the game, reminding him not to get too drunk because they've made a date to go eat dinner at Grandma's house later. You might say that some guys in a relationship don't have as good a time while out with the boys because of their girlfriend.
Getting a beer helmet for your boyfriend means much more than, "I support you and your alcoholism." It says to a man that you recognize your relationship as something that it's supposed to be: Two people combining for a mutual benefit and taking nothing away from each other. While drinking two cold cans of Carling's Black Label at the same time, your boyfriend will have the warm comfort of knowing that time apart can be as special as time together.
After receiving his beer helmet, your special man will know that your love for him is so complete and dedicated that he can drink himself into a stupor and become a needy retarded obnoxious shadow of his former self and still have your respect. He'll know that you won't think less of him even if he forgets where to properly go to the bathroom and ends up urinating in the closet into an old hatbox. He'll feel great knowing that you'll post his bail in the event of his being arrested while attempting to navigate a motor vehicle with a .21 blood alcohol level.
His appreciation for such a gift should mean a lot to you as well. A man that is comfortable enough to head out for the day to get schnockered with the fellas is comfortable with your relationship. Some guys are so insecure with themselves that they feel like every minute of your day should be spent with them, lest you find another man. The man who dons his beer helmet knows he can let his girl do whatever she likes without it threatening their love or relationship. He thinks, "I'm a responsible adult and so is my girlfriend."
