Well, I'd say that since the biological effect of capsaicin is a chemical burn in the mouth (and further down the digestive tract), you're essentially adding alcohol to a chemical burn. Amplifying the pain. There's a reason why they say to consume dairy to ease the pain and that using beer to cool it is a misnomer.
Damn well me and my cousins have been trying to drink this AG Jalapeño ale I brewed, but it's just too damn spicey !!!!! Last time I brew that. Just thought I'd share. Mug
Hmm...I knew about the affects of milk binding and neutralizing the capsaicin oils. I'd always understood that the oils caused a chemical burn, but apparently they don't do any actual cell damage, just bond with cell walls of nerves and simulate the sensation of a chemical burn without technically being a chemical burn. However, while I was incorrect about the cause of why alcohol makes it worse, I'm not wrong about the end result. Point is that alcohol exacerbates the heat.
Hah. I love jalapeño beers. I love spicy in general. Earlier this week thanks to a swap I came into possession of a beer made with not only jalapeños, but also anaheim, serrano, fresno peppers, and then habanero and bhut jolokia (ghost chili) peppers. I'll be cracking it open tomorrow with a few daring souls. I doubt yours is all that spicy
You must be referring to Ghost Face Killah from Twisted Pine..??
That's the one.
