Reply to comment by Amity83 in How do you think the 5¢ nip tax is going? Have you seen less of these little bottles all over the place? by MongooseProXC

Not sure what's wrong with immediate consumption. It's really a nice convenience to be able to buy nips on the way to a party, concert, etc and have them cold on arrival. Refrigerated fifths probably gives the wrong message but I'll have to disagree with you on the nips.

They are so small they don’t stay cold for long. I worked for a few years next to a liquor store. The alcoholics all drink the nips in the morning and toss them out the window. Our customers and employees knew not to park on that side of the lot because of the drunks backing into them.

If we're going somewhere and need to make a stop, if I'm riding passenger, I'm starting immediately once I'm back in the car. But I've never had an issue with nips getting cold, I usually buy refrigerated sleeves so might be why... More concentrated thermal mass.
