guys, guess what

Liquor > beer

Mostly because you have to drink so much beer to get the same affect as liquor. My stomach is kinda small so I can't hold that much (about a can an hour... maybe a bit more) and it's never enough to get me more than buzzed. It's also more calories. Liquor doesn't take up as much room in my stomach so I can get buzzed and then switch to beer to keep the buzz, thus consuming less calories and being less aware of the horrid taste of beer.

there's around 90-100 calories in one shot (1.5 fl oz, ~45mL) of rum/vodka. in one can of light beer (12 fl oz) there are 90-120 calories, depending on the brand. there are like 170 calories in a pint (16 fl oz) of Guinness.

which is the best for you in terms of caloric content panda? since you seem to be the diet WIZ. (HINT: ANSWER IS NOT "NONE OF THE ABOVE, INSERT FINGER AFTER CONSUMPTION)
Anyhow, if you're avoiding alcohol because of how many calories it has you're not drinking for the right purposes, you're drinking to be cool. get the fuck out.

This is where GHB comes in (the chemical). No calories, little taste and fucks you up a lot harder than alcohol (although the effects are the same).
Ah, science... Is there anything it can't do?

Beer is good cause it tends to tell me when I've had enough (ie: full), or should slow down a bit (ie: full), which I am fine with.

[genocidal]

for a half barrel? wow. that's just straight up amazing. a keg of Keystone light here cost twice that.

That blows for you I guess. My hometown had kegs starting at like $45 but this is a serious as fuck college town and they sell a shitload of kegs I guess. (And yes, I'm talking about 15 1/2 full size keg.)

I remember a few years ago after Katrina there had apparently been some parade or something planned in New Orleans. When all that shit went down the beer distributors had nothing to do with their asstons of beer that they were sending to New Orleans so instead they brought them over to Florida and slapped awesome deals on it because they knew UF kids would eat it up. And when I mean awesome deals I'm talking like $5 for a 24 of Coors Light/Natty Light/Bud Light (my stupid state has a law against selling 30 packs). They tried to use a stupid coupon system but you could find them any where and the cashiers even quit using them.

Beer balls here are about $25 (but those are filled differently so I guess there is less price differentiation) and I have no idea what pony kegs cost.

i'm sorry sir, that i lack the bravado that you have. i appologize that i can only have 4 people drink that much alcohol because THAT'S ALL I COULD AFFORD. I'll be richer next time. no, you know what? next time i'll jsut get blackout drunk and shit all over the place and shit everywhere that I live and shit on your bed and my bed. i wasn't bragging. i just wanted to let you guys know what i was under when i found A ROOM FULL OF PILLOWS.

EDIT: my whole post

To Cops: Yo man, 35 for 24coors light? try 39.20. Well, from what I remember anyways.

[Pandagirl!]

Ok my bad, someone told me that shots have less calories than beer. That's not my main concern though, because I don't drink often enough for it to matter anyway.

[Facetious]

lb you know i e-love you but nothing youve said in this thread makes any sense

coors light/miller light/bud light costing 10 dollars for a case happens maybe once a year and even so you need a mail in rebate for that. that is not a gauge for the price of beer at all. all those beers are fucking rip offs under most circumstances, 12 packs of that swill are up to 10 bucks at most grocery stores. those beers have no flavor whatsoever, compared to natty light which tastes slightly more like dirt but is 40% cheaper. there really isnt much of a difference at all in taste if you put them side by side, youre paying entirely for marketing. the only reason to buy bud/miller/coors light is if youre throwing a party dumb chicks are at because they think natty tastes worse even though it really doesnt. if youre not going to drink any decent beer youve gotta go with yuengling instead of a crappy domestic light.

to say all beer tastes like crap is ridiculous, and a sign that youve either a) hardly ever drank, and as a result, are not really qualified to write several paragraphs arguing with people about drinking or b) havent drank enough types of beers to write several paragraphs arguing about the merits of the taste of beer. its an acquired taste. youre not going to acquire a taste for miller lite because it tastes like a crappier version of sparkling mineral water, but i guarantee you, if you start trying different craft beers and imports (for the most part not the shit you can get at safeway) youll find beers that you find truly delicious.

im not saying theres anything wrong with drinking miller lite, heineken, corona, or other objectively overpriced beers, but youve got to a) acknowledge youre drinking those for the image and marketing and b) not talk shit on beer as a whole because if thats all youve drank you have no idea what youre talking about

also if you cant get drunk without puking thats your damn problem. i dont like to puke either, thats why i dont get drunk enough to puke. not everyone who likes to drink a lot cant handle their alcohol.

face, as a beer lover, what is your opinion of Magic Hat no.9? From the beer aficionados in Kappa Sigma, the reviews are surely mixed, with half saying they love it and half saying that it's nothing special. I really like it.

Right back at you hunny bunny :wub:

You don't need a rebate and it doesn't happen once a year, my room mate got the case at Giant. I don't see any reason why he would lie to me about cheap beer. I don't buy 24-packs, like I said I buy 6-packs so I don't bother even looking at the prices of the huge shit, as I'm not going to cough up my own money for 24 cans of beer; because I know I'm not going to drink all that shit and my buddies don't have a problem chipping in for beer.

Before we continue, let's clarify this again. Beer tastes nasty to me, period. I'll drink it, but it doesn't taste "good". Let me put it this way, I'll drink it to get drunk or when I'm in a bar/restaurant with friends, but I won't be at home about to eat and think "shit I wish I had some beer right now". To me it's different to say "that's a good tasting beer" compared to "soda tastes good". I can't really explain it all that well but I don't hold beer in the same category as other drinks.

to say all beer tastes like crap is ridiculous, and a sign that youve either a) hardly ever drank, and as a result, are not really qualified to write several paragraphs arguing with people about drinking or b) havent drank enough types of beers to write several paragraphs arguing about the merits of the taste of beer. its an acquired taste. youre not going to acquire a taste for miller lite because it tastes like a crappier version of sparkling mineral water, but i guarantee you, if you start trying different craft beers and imports (for the most part not the shit you can get at safeway) youll find beers that you find truly delicious.

Trust me butt buddy I wasn't planning on writing a dissertation on beer. My "favorite" imported beer would have to be Zywiec (polish), but I get that through this old polish lady at my job, so it's not something I can drink every weekend. There's "good beer", but that doesn't mean it tastes good to me, it's just better than shitty beer. Pumpkin Ale is nice too, but again beer just isn't something I long for randomly during the day or get cravings for, like food and drink that tastes delicious to me. It's good when I'm in a social atmosphere, but I just don't put it in the same league with other things that taste good to me.

im not saying theres anything wrong with drinking miller lite, heineken, corona, or other objectively overpriced beers, but youve got to a) acknowledge youre drinking those for the image and marketing and b) not talk shit on beer as a whole because if thats all youve drank you have no idea what youre talking about

I'm not going to acknowledge either of those because they're wrong. I drink those when I'm chilling with friends and it's in the fridge, or when I'm about to co-op some video game with someone at my place. I've tried maybe 10-15 different types of beers, and I'm in no rush to try every single imported selection there is because I don't need to. There's beer nearby and that's good enough for me.

also if you cant get drunk without puking thats your damn problem. i dont like to puke either, thats why i dont get drunk enough to puke. not everyone who likes to drink a lot cant handle their alcohol.

kegs here start at 55 if youre lucky

I can drink without puking, which is why I drink beer. When I drink liquor, I do shots and I end up doing alot of them. That leads to me getting shitfaced and puking later on. That's why I don't get drunk enough to puke, I get a good buzz with beer.

We still need to go a bar and chill, you hairy man you. When are you going to be around dupoint circle/ adams morgan in the near future?

[Cops]

What, really? I'd ask for Moosehead or Keiths instead.

I haven't really boughten a 2-4 in a while though, I buy 6 packs mainly cause I'll probably drink more than I need to with a 2-4.

yeah same, I usually buy a six pack of Moose or Brahma. It cost like $12-14

i'm not in it, i just live with them.

[Cops]

this thread just makes me depressed at the price you pay for alcohol, you can all go fuck a stick.

[Facetious]

#9 is alright to have with lunch or something but its an awful session beer because its got so damn much sugar. their hipa is pretty damn good though. good brewery but just an odd flagship beer.

lb im just saying there is good beer out there and if youve only tried 10-15 types youve probably not had the beer that gets you started loving the stuff. i thought the same way you did until i tried harpoon ipa and whatever it was about it, beer just clicked for me. i get dragged out to adams morgan/columbia heights once a month or so. ill let you know.
