Chris HuckFinally getting to enjoy those 🇧🇪🍻 that I planned on drinking yesterday.
ink and yarn@chrishuck I could drink about a third of that, haha
@emery I think you could enjoy the whole thing. I believe in you.
It’s very delicious. Probably my favorite beer style.
@chrishuck Well, the "problem" is that at 10.7% I'd get more drunk than I want to be before it's all gone...
This is the sort of beer I love to share, though.
@emery That’s fair. I’ll admit that this will be the last one for me this evening. Anything over 10% and I have to be careful to avoid a bad day tomorrow lol. Weirdly, big IPAs affect me worse than big Belgian beers or the barrel-aged stuff.
The first one was also 10.7%, and I’m just starting to feel the second one halfway through… 😂
@chrishuck There is some significant gender-related difference in alcohol processing - and it's not linear, either. I can drink a 12 ounce can of 5% beer and feel near-normal, but a 6% beer? I'm probably not good to drive for a while.
Husband and I usually share beers, which has a couple of benefits - one, I can drink as much or as little of it as I like because he'll happily drink the rest... and two, it stays cold all the way to the bottom, which rarely happens if I have my own!
(They used to call me half-pint...)
@emery I can totally feel 5-6% on an empty stomach, but I tend to avoid bigger stuff unless I’m eating. Luckily, I drank the first with dinner… but, I have to admit that pairing that Belgian beer with Pad Thai was a nice combination ☺️
@chrishuck Well, now I'm jealous - Belgian beer and pad thai sounds delicious! :)
