Ziv Zulander posted:For a little history on the IPA, they got popular in England as a cheap beer during the time of the east India company. The reason they were cheap was because the fastest way to get from India to England was by sailboat, which meant that they would invariably get skunked on the long trip over. So, to cover the foul taste, they loaded them with a poo poo ton of hops. not true - it doesn't make much sense to ship lovely beer across the world. also, the beer was brewed in england, not in india, for english drinkers (but also the export market), and there were other kinds of beer that were shipped long distances without getting skunked. brewing beer is really easy so there's no reason to ship beer across the globe if it goes rotten, nobody would choose rotten beer over fresh local beer - in fact, some bottle or cask aging (but not too much, like, less than a few years) makes beer better the brewery that started brewing this kind of extra hoppy beer was located near the east india company docks and so became popular with that crowd enough to become associated with them, and then when other breweries started copying the brew to get in on that market they just called it "india style beer"

When an American talks about drinking "a" beer, how much beer are we talking here? pints? Halves? 330ml cans? And how big is an American shot? a couple of 12 oz tinnies of 4% is a bit different than 6 pints of 7%. Though even in the first scenario you're exceeding your weekly recommended limit if you do it every day (yeah it turns out that even what's thought of as pretty light drinking isn't great for you)

Though even in the first scenario you're exceeding your weekly recommended limit if you do it every day (yeah it turns out that even what's thought of as pretty light drinking isn't great for you) A shot is 1.5 to 2 ounces. "A beer" is usually a 12-ounce can or bottle, though at a bar it can also mean a 16-ounce pint.

Whatever you can scoop out of the liquor trough with your cupped hands is considered a shot in America.

They ended up calling the police to file a missing person's report one time since I was out of the house at 9PM and forbid me from visiting my friends throughout high school after that incident. It was in freshman year and they let up in senior year after college applications went through. Also same re having a poo poo ton of money. I didn't have 10k but usually had a few thousand in checking throughout high school. It's surprising how quickly things can add up when you spend your breaks on internships and aren't really allowed to spend it. Like no buying food when you go out since you never go out and buying leisure items is being a Disobedient Child which is a Big Deal in traditional "filial obligation is everything" SE Asian families.

One unit is 10ml of ethanol.

You see my dad has known for a couple of weeks now about my invite and did not say any word to me about anyone else coming until yesterday. He calls me and started out our conversation like this "Hey do you mind if I don't stay the night Saturday and do you care if I bring someone else along?" I told him I was just planning on it being us but he then said that it was unfortunate I felt that way. He wouldn't tell me who it was but I guessed it was his girlfriend that he supposedly was no longer with (or so I thought).

Found an awesome off-licence in my youth that had trappist beers like Westvletern 12, russian imperial stouts, oak-aged beers that looked and smelt like petrol, limited edition IPAs for €18 a bottle, beer laced with viagra, etc. The cost limited me to a few a night, but led me to necessitating a high abv, then going "gently caress it" and buying a 8 pack of 6%+ cans. The owner cried when me and my friends left. She'll be drinking box wine in a few years due to the expense. goethe.cx posted:just do it how they do in the animes Praying for this with an update.

I [21F] want my boyfriend [20M] to break up with me because I can’t bring myself to do it.quote:I’m on mobile so pardon my formatting. We’ve been dating for about 3.5 months now. He’s smart, kind, funny, mature, etc. but I just don’t have romantic feelings for him. I did in the very beginning but now I just feel like we’d be better off as friends. The problem is that he is very VERY into me. He has strong romantic feelings. I know the mature, responsible thing to do is to just end it. I would just rip the bandaid off but his birthday is in 2 weeks. I don’t want to be the girl that breaks his heart right before his birthday. I also don’t want to do it right after. I feel horrible. He’s such a sweet guy and I have absolutely no reason to give him other than “I just don’t feel a spark” I’ve been on both ends of a breakup and this one sucks more. Should I do it now? Wait until after his birthday? Or should I just suck it up and see if I ever feel that spark?

[25F] My husband [25M] wants all attention on him at all times and if he doesn’t get it he responds with giant tantrumsquote:My husband and I have been together a long time and have known each other since we were kids and he’s always wanted all attention on him but it’s been getting worse over the years and I’m over it. We can be sitting on the couch doing nothing all day and he has nothing to say and the moment I pickup a phone call or something he instantly has something so important to tell me and I tell him to hang on then he goes into a huge tantrum and talks about how I never pay attention to him, this happens a good 4 times a week. quote:He works from home, so that’s not a thing. But if someone ignores him somewhere he has a fit because he says it’s a disrespect. He’s always done that though so it’s nothing new. For example going to a doctors appointment and it’s at 1:00pm and it’s 1:02 and they haven’t attended him, because you know how doctors offices are he will make a scene and then leave. That Is a little more understandable because they’re not honoring their appointment but he never did stuff like that outside of those scenarios before.

Cmon, I see your posts, you're much better than "people who like thing I don't like are just dumb." The real issue is that strong hops have a shelf life of 30 days before starting to taste stale. When I buy IPA I look on the bottom of the cans for the brew date, it's the difference between "bleh" and "good lord my taste buds and sinuses are exploding in joy."
