OT: How much beer is too much?

[krishj39]

escape2thewater, don't do a poll, you'll never get them all in, especially since many people favor the regional beers, and you couldn't possibly even know most of them exist. just do an OT and ask people to say what their favorite beers are.

Whats it matter? You don't buy beer anyway- you just "rent" it!

I usually recommend the following:
1 beer (or the equivalent in wine or liquor) daily will lower the death rate for men by almost 25% (which is better than many medications!). Heart attacks and strokes show the greatest benefit. The data is not as good for women because of a 10% increase in

cancer risk. I don't encourage teetotalers to start, but I certainly don't discourage it (particularly after age 40).
2 beers daily loses the health benefits but causes no harm.
3 beers daily (and beyond) increases your death rate (primarily from increased rates of cancers, cirrhosis, obesity, trauma.
You cannot save up all your beers for the weekend. Binge drinking (more then 5 in a day for men,or 4 for women) will also increase your death rate.

It depends on the person.....I drink like 2-3 times a week and i would say i drink anywhere from a 6 pack to 15+ beers.....you know you drank to much when you blackout and cant remember anyhting the next day.......

How could you make a beer that is 48% alcohol? I thought that there was a limit slightly below 10% because yeast cells that ferment and produce alcohol die at around 7% or 8% alcohol?

Too much beer for me is when you sleepwalk and pee in strange places. (whoops)

its like a malt distilled beverage, the distillilation process allows for a higher alcohol content. I bet that is one potent brew!
