What do you think the difference in ABV is between Bud and SNPA?
Bud = 5.0% ABV
SNPA = 5.6% ABV
12 12 oz Bud's get you 7.2 oz of ethanol (that's more than in a pint of JD)
2 12 oz SNPA's get you 1.3 oz of ethanol

But, I'm presenting that scenario to a forum of homebrewers...
NASCAR, hmmm. I wonder how "Dale, Jr. in the Arrogant Bastard #88" would change beer drinking at those events?

Its not just the ABV though, there is also how "full" it makes you feel.
Strictly considering the ABV, sure you could drink 10-12 SNPAs but realistically no you just won't hold that many. Before the 2nd one is gone you'll be slowing down and you'll be full and done drinking before #3. Now a cold Budweiser, two big sips and its gone and you're ready for another one.
Plus SNPA doesn't come in a can.

Yes you are. A forum of brewers that have chosen to brew the beer they like. Why question their taste buds. I would assume that Stone Brewery would have to up their production levels to meet the needs of a growing "following". That doesn't mean that the newly converted Dale Jr beer drinkers are going to enjoy the fine points of a lambic or a pliny either. Again, we all have tastes that are different.

You could always go for one of these in a can.

yeah I bet I could do some damage with that Hell of High Watermellon
but I bet that IPA would still stop me at 2-3
you just get too full drinking beer like that and then it just sits in your stomach making you feel like you just ate a big meal and you need a nap
while you can drink Natty Light or Coors Light one right after another damn near all day long if its hot enough outside, you'll sweat or piss it out nearly as fast as you can drink so it makes for a more enjoyable drinking session
last Saturday went camping/swimming - it was hot as hell, and I killed an 18 pack of coors light between 10 am and 4 pm, then bought a 24 can case and drank 1/2 of it before 11 pm - layed down about midnight and took a little 5 hour catnap then woke up walked to the bathhouse to piss, walked back to camp and new it was nearly day light, so I messed around and picked up stuff to get ready to pack up while my son slept. Had another 6 beers before we left the camp ground at 9. Got home around 10am and had exactly 5 beers left in the cooler.
Not counting the beer I used for cooking dinner the night before, I figure that makes 36 beers in 24 hours and there is just no possible way that you can do that drinking that Oaked Dead Guy or Raspberry Porter in your siggy. But speaking of your siggy, I would sure like to try to drink 36 in 24 with that Widmer Hefe Clone

That is a whole lot of beer in a 24 hour period and I agree, I think 95% of what most of us homebrewers brew you could not do the same thing with.
I have my first lager attempt and is a simple 2 grain low abv lager that could be drank all day long. As you eluded to with the porter, I agree it is too dang hot for that beer. I knew I wasn't going to get rid of it by the time summer came, but it is actually in the back closet and I just plan to use the last 2 gallons for cooking with and such. The stuff is great for boiling brawts in.
I can't wait to get that hefe on tap as I need some summer beers on tap right away to combine with the lager I have.

And on and on it goes.
I like beer, you like beer, we all like beer. Geez I wonder why it comes in so many flavours? Why don't everyone like what I drink?

I drink bout 10-16 big beers on weekend nights.
I'll drink Blatz, PBR, and Schlitz every once in awhile. That's about it.
