"goddamn right I want a little umbrella with that" :gigachad-hd:

The gendering of drinks has always been weird to me. Like clothes I can at least somewhat understand (although there's still a lot of bullshit around that), but... fucking drinks?

    Strong 11% Ales will get you completely fucked up in like 2 drinks as if you'd just knocked back 9 pints. Seriously dangerous they are because a lot of people have no idea and then drink them like normal beers.

        A single pint is 19.2152oz

        11% of 19.2152 is 2.113672

        A single shot is 1oz.

        40% of 1oz is 0.4

        2 pints of 11% ale is 10.56 shots of 40% spirit people knock this back in about 30minutes.

        This completely ignores the fact that real ale has high amounts of hops in it which results in a much faster metabolisation of the alcohol, which is why real ale gets you drunk much faster than standard beer. On top of that it is flat so beer drinkers new to real ale drink it faster.

        I live in Britain, I practically have a degree in binge drinking. Don't underestimate high strength(11% is very high) real ales, they will fuck you right up.

          Cask ale is really only a thing in Britain unfortunately. You can find it at some boutique places here in the states but not often.

            That's half of an entire large bottle (70cl) vodka. 4-5 pints is an entire bottle.

            I'm also not just talking about beer, I'm talking about real ale. There is a very considerable difference in the speed your body absorbs one over the other.
