The Beer Thread

It's crazy Rhett, it's almost like people enjoy different quantities of different things, like there's not one specific magical number that constitutes the quantity you should have of every possible thing.

I hear you can fill your e-cig 20 times and its like you've only had one cigarette!

I had 10 baby carrots earlier as a snack, and I am not looking forward to having to eat 10 veggie burgers for dinner.

So now you're defending how much "fatties" eat?

You've turned a new leaf.

I was unaware either Yada or Jaded are "fatties".

I know for a fact that to Yada, 'fatties' means something entirely different...fregin hippy

Six 5% pale ales are about 900 calories.

Six 7% IPA's are about 1260 calories.

Regardless of whether they are "fatties", that doesn't seem like an effective nutritional intake. Drink like that, and eventually you'll be an "unhealthy" and most probably a "fattie". Am I missing something?

A Six-pack A Day Is A Formula For Cirrhosis

http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2000-09-18/lifestyle/0009180364_1_cirrhosis-lupus-six-pack


Putting all of the above aside, consider the liver. A man who drinks six to eight 12-ounce cans of beer every day on a regular basis can almost count on developing liver cirrhosis within 10 to 15 years. Cirrhosis is a scarred, nonfunctioning liver that bestows a most unpleasant life and an early, gruesome death.

It's not how I would choose to use my calories, but it's not out of the range of possibility of someone doing this, I don't know, once a week or something like that. Say your TDEE is ~2,400 calories and you only take in 2,200 calories a day Sunday thru Friday. Your splurging on 1200 calories of beer on Saturday is, from a purely caloric viewpoint, mitigated by the modest daily caloric deficit you ran all week.

That's a completely different issue, albeit a valid one. I think you're willfully conflating "drinking a six-pack of beer" and "drinking a six-pack of beer every day on a regular basis" though.

Yes, I get that a six-pack every day is different than binge drinking. Still, binge-drinking isn't exactly healthy living either.

so starting at 2 PM and ending at 10PM one consumes a six pack...is that a binge?

From the binge drinking wiki with multiple cited sources:

There is currently no worldwide consensus on how many drinks constitute a "binge", but in the United States, the term is often taken to mean consuming five or more standard drinks (male), or four or more drinks (female), over a 2-hour period.

If you kill a sixer in an hour, yeah, that's probably binge drinking, but a six pack over an afternoon/evening really isn't, in my mind.

Pfft.  I burn 3,000 calories before 9am every Saturday.

The [DC-Beer] listserv is all on fire about where to get cucumber beer.  Is this for real, or is it like asparagus water?

[sweetcell]
