A guy in the supermarket parking lot is doing a little self-doctoring. He's leaning out the open door of his convertible and pouring what looks like a beer over the palm of his hand. Then he dabs at it with a napkin.
Now, there's not enough alcohol in beer to provide much of an antiseptic effect. He'd be better off getting some Neosporin and band-aids at the drugstore across the parking lot. Or even letting a dog lick it off. Or—this is really radical—going back into the supermarket and washing up with soap and water at the restroom sink.
On the other hand, the beer-wash method means he gets to drink any excess beer.
