you'd think that russians would be ultra hardened with alcohol given the industrial cleaner poo poo they drink, but all the russians i know are also somehow the first to get completely shitfaced at any gathering

I am drinking a red racer pilsner while grillin' :burger: and it is very not great

the black cherry okanagan was not bad but tasted more like a Canada Cooler than a cider

drink status: im in singapore and there are alcohol shops everywhere but it's all so expensive

i considered getting some scotch in the duty free shops but its mostly weird bottlings found nowhere else that have funny marketing names instead of <distillery X year>. I assume these are failed experiments that are unloaded on duty free shops because why not.

i need to get back home to craft beer at decent prices and regular nice scotch stash:

saison is only good if it's been aged in oak or old wine barrels so it's nice and tart, regular saison is bleh

a proper saison made with a dupont yeast strain fermented at higher temperatures is amazingly good

seriously though go find a foedre/oak or wine barrel aged saison, they are usually excellent, crisp tart and refreshing.

to be fair i'm biased because i hate most belgian styles of beer/yeast, cloves and bananas no thank you. the open/spontaneous fermentation stuff is great though.

p. sure built-up tolerance is mostly made up (up to a rather severe point), people are just more or less used to the effects of being drunk without the physical effects differing (i.e. you are just as motor function impaired but because you are more used to being motor function impaired you don't really notice)

in fact i also suspect that people going on about how they can't drink anymore in their middle age because they get such terrible hangovers have just gotten too comfortable for a bit of a headache. i.e. when they were teenagers and first got to drink tolerated it out of the novelty, and as long as they kept up some kind of party lifestyle feeling like poo poo on occasion remained a thing which had a shimmer of normalcy to it

at the very least the mechanism behind such a change is unclear to my (no doubt incorrect) knowledge, since the popular idea of the liver getting less efficient would give you lesser hangovers (spreading the breaking down of the alcohol, and the nasty byproducts thereof, over a longer span of time)

my experience drinking with a variety of eastern europeans is that they or may not have a prodigious alcohol tolerance, but they know their own abilities and when to slow down, eat some food, switch to water for a couple drinks or whatever

they go hard but it's a marathon, not a sprint

also i know for a fact that my hangovers are significantly easier to deal with when i'm more used to drinking on the reg, like when you're travelling etc.
