    Well, since you asked: I never drink at shows (or before shows). Yeah, I sound like a lot of fun -- earplugs and completely sober -- but I have a freaking blast, and I don't miss anything waiting in line at the bathroom (as a woman of a certain age, that's a likely scenario). And then there's the kid factor; one of my boys usually is sitting with me, I'd hate to embarrass him by getting all goofy. ;)
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    These were posted in the upper link and I HIGHLY recommend them. They're not as expensive as the musician's plugs but allow for much better sound quality than foam:

    They take a bit of getting used to but when you do get used to them, man there is nothing better for the cost.

    I usually clean mine off after the show and I replace them every year or so.

    And as someone said above, they make a smaller size for smaller ear canals.

    Have to third this recommendation...love my ER20's. Very good sound quality - a million times better than the foam ones.
