Put mine in loop on the back of the right side pocket of my Diamond Back belt. It takes a while to get used to but I like it now.

Kept it in my back, but my brother convinced me to change to my side. I guess it can break your back if you fall backwards. Don't know how often it happens but it's easier for me to keep it at my side as well.

And we are to assume this is because or perhaps the result of working for beer?

I do both, not sure why. Biggest problem I have with it on the side is the claws slowly eat through the nail pouch and then I have to duct tape it.

I keep it in the exposed buttcrack portion of my butt. It serves a dual purpose of hiding the crack and no one ever borrows my hammer.

My first thought was "which one"?
For Carpentry work, in a standard loop:
For Roofing work, I like it high on my hip so that it doesn't get in the way when I'm squatting down on a roof:
