it's insoluble in liquid (vs co2 which dissolves into the beverage) so you get smaller bubbles rapidly coming out of suspension which results in a creamier and smoother texture

it also means that beer carbonated and served with pure nitrogen gas will be flat in minutes. to combat this the nitrogen used for beverages isn't actually pure nitrogen, it's something like a 70/30 nitrogen/co2 blend.

nitro really only works well with dark, heavy beers like stouts and porters, doing it to an ipa is just fuckin' gross

anywho, summer beers are starting to tap in the area and a new round of watching baseball languidly while sipping cold beer begin again. once the weather improves itll be patio season and theres a few new places im looking forward to trying

IPAs are bad, the new "over 10,000 IBU" metric that every brewery is trying to smash is just stupid.

they make a perfectly good normal beer, and then add in gallons of hop oil at the end to make it appeal to people who don't want to drink popular beers.

I've never had a nitro'd version of an already great stout and come away thinking it was an improvement.

As far as IPA's go I tend to go for session IPA's now because they are made to be easier to drink so usually they're not as turbofucked with the hops. Less alcohol too but eh.

binge drinking has a low threshold yes but it’s basically, drinking to feel a bit drunk. that’s an “improper”use of alcohol as opposed to a mild one or two now and then

virtually no one who drinks drinks responsibly

I have a problem but I try to deal with it day by day. a six pack most evenings... could be much much worse (hence it’s not a big deal)

thing is health departments etc cant really be "well some is ok but moer is bad", because the combined evidence shows that alcohol is bad for you in virtually every way in an entirely dose related fashion, ie none is the only "ok" amount

they could be realistic wrt what people actually do.. but.. well they cant can they

like smoking and vaping and cannabis etc. we can try to do some "harm minimisation" poo poo but you can't really ever "recommend" a recreational drug or give safe doses because.. well... discussing recreational drug use in the medical community is just a no no. its not what drugs are for.

like I'd love to be a recreational drug pharmacist but I just know I'd be "mate nah 3 tabs you'll be sweet youve done 1 tab before a couple of times" and he ends up having a bad time..

i mean, on the one hand you're right, but the touchy thing with alcohol is that it is pretty easy to fall into a bad spiral with it (e.g. medicating feeling down or stressed with alcohol pretty naturally gets you more down or stressed as time goes on), which is not *really* true of masturbation (or e.g. tobacco), since it really has little in the way of ongoing drawbacks

overall how they interact with mental health issues is one of the more significant issues when it comes to recreational drugs, not really the surface issue of blowing up your liver, or even letting friends/family down by becoming physically addicted

not that i'd argue for a ban, but the issue of "what is too much" has no good answer because it depends too much on what is driving the use anyway
