How soon can you drink alcohol after diving?

When I saw the title of this thread I bought to myself...I wonder how long it will take Robert Arak to answer. I opened it and got my answer.
My answer? Your lagging behind if you're completely dry before you've opened your beer.

Although alcohol after diving should not significantly affect the likelihood of DCS; the effects of alcohol might mask or mimic some DCS signs or symptoms.
examples: less likely to feel pain (mask), but more likely to get sleepy (mimic).

I usually like to shower off first, but it isn't mandatory.

Beers get opened or poured as soon as boat is docked and tied off

You sure?

As soon as the gear is off. But not too much beer if i plan to dive the next day but after the last dive of the trip... as soon as the gear is off

A Finnish group I was guiding a few years back, delivered beer or vodka before you had climbed the ladder.

I like to get the gear off first myself. Drying off will come naturally as you sip on a cold one!

Jack Daniels and I agree with all of you people, except the guy that thinks I'm going to fall asleep on the boat. What a good group of people......

I seldom drink anymore but this thread made me laugh.

Like Lynne I had to wait until I got all the way up the ladder first.

Last shore dive of the day, the cooler gets opened and beers handed out as soon as we reach the truck.
