I wish I could drink beer like soda. I love the taste but I sometimes, well most of the time, don't want the buzz. I wish they made some good na IPA s and Belgians.
Are you guys extreme light weights or something? I can't feel a single effect of alcohol until I drink about a 6 pack around the 5% range in less than 2 hours. I could drink a 10% imperial stout or two in an hour and then go out and run errands, go out to lunch and carry on with my day with no problem or no feeling of alcohol at all.

I suppose I could drink two 10% beers in an hour and then go driving. It would be illegal, but technically possible.
Wouldn't be illegal for me, it would take me at least 8 to go over the legal BAC limit. Idk if my height and weight has to do with it or if its just different for everyone or what.
It would take you eight 10% beers in one hour to be over the BAC?!?! Depends on the calculator I use, but two of those in one hour would put me just under the limit. How I deal with the effects of the alcohol is a different matter, my BAC would be borderline. I hesitate to ask your weight...
OK in an hour probably 3 and a half or 4 10% beers woulkd do it, 6-8 would be normal cheap lager.
And I'm about 280 right now. Also I'm from Canada originally, us Canadians are suppose to hold our booze good haha

BACK ON TOPIC:
A 2-3% ABV, full flavored stout would be a fantastic challenge. NA beer is very difficult to make on a homebrew scale, but low alcohol beer shouldn't be terribly difficult to make. Low alcohol beer with lots of flavor and good mouthfeel, on the other hand, presents a challenge. Adding some maltodextrin may help balance strongly flavored ingredients.

Stiegl grapefruit radler isn't actually NA (more like 3%), but it's nice and refreshing and won't mess you up.
Shooter said:Is the grapefruit Radler different then their regular Radler? I enjoy the regular Radler quite a bit.
I think there are a few different ones, but the grapefruit shows up most often in my area. The regular has lemon soda instead, and I think there is a raspberry one also.
It's my thread and it's in the off topic section. No one needs to worry about staying on topic. Talk about whatever you wish people!!! From dogs to bac. I dgaf!
Igaf as well.You make a good point - the thread is intentionally placed in a non-technical forum. Here is what I will not abide, and what prompted my comment: pissing contests about holding one's liquor and/or suggesting that ANYONE should drive after consuming large quantities of alcohol.
IGAF.

This is exactly the type of comment that is unwelcome. While you may THINK that drinking a 6 pack and climbing into a car is fine, it IS NOT. It doesn't much matter who you are. I'll buy that your perception of drunkenness may require more beer than others in order to feel its effects, but the FACT is that your blood alcohol content is quite likely high enough to be considered legally impaired, and your performance WILL be affected, despite your perception that it is not.I did not see any pissing contest about holding liquor, rather I saw a discussion about how alcohol effects people more or less than other people. And how NA beer might be better for someone who gets buzzed off of a beer or two, but for someone who doesn't really get buzzed until after a 6 pack it might not really be something to worry about.

DO NOT continue to suggest that anyone should drink to excess and operate a vehicle.
Called the rest of the posters "light weights" is the sort of pissing match-type comment to which I was referring. Suggesting that you can drink what would be considered an excessive amount of alcohol by pretty much any standard and then "go out and run errands" condones drinking and driving. I suppose one could run errands on the Internet, but within the boundaries of common sense, "going out and running errands" includes a motor vehicle.Are you guys extreme light weights or something? I can't feel a single effect of alcohol until I drink about a 6 pack around the 5% range in less than 2 hours.

Again, suggesting irresponsible drinking with respect to driving.Wouldn't be illegal for me, it would take me at least 8 to go over the legal BAC limit. Idk if my height and weight has to do with it or if its just different for everyone or what.
Though this post does not specifically mention drinking and driving, it's a continuation on the theme of irresponsible drinking. Given the context of your previous posts, "something to worry about" could certainly imply exceeding legal limits. No matter how you say you meant it, that's how it reads to me, which is why I posted the response above.I did not see any pissing contest about holding liquor, rather I saw a discussion about how alcohol effects people more or less than other people.
