Hey, I'll have you know that I like dykey/short haircuts on women. There are few bigger mood-killers than hearing a woman scream "OWWWW! YOU'RE ON MY HAIR!" during sex. I'll post some pictures later, but for now, I've got to go.
These numbers may vary state to state, but if I remember correctly regular beer is 3.2%, light beer 1.7-2.3%, and ice beer 5.4-5.9%. I know that drinking ice beer gives me a buzz very similar to hard alcohol...ie...I turn into a raging dick. And that is why I never drink hard alcohol unless I'm off in the woods by myself. I don't have to apologize to trees and bushes the next morning.
Ouch. I don't know the numbers exactly, but Reg up here is about 5%, I think anything below 4.5% is Light. Strong beers vary from about 5.6% to over 7% (Labatt Maximum Ice).
Bear in mind that Americans use alcohol by weight and not alcohol by volume. 3.2% ABW is 4% ABV. America: because why would you want to use a more rational system for measuring things?
Doesn't alcohol in Utah have ridiculous content laws as well due to the Mormon influence? I hear there's all kinds of booze red tape in that state. A friend of a friend who's an ex Mormon elder said that they would simply make the 2 hour drive to another state to "save the hassle". Sheesh.
He lives in Milford, that's punishment enough. And I would, but Im an ex-pat from CT. I feel like an slave that escaped to the free land. As for the retared PUA stuff, I can't believe people are actually donating money.
We do what now, ghetto? Spoiler Edit: you know, I really miss the height and width tags we had on the old board.
Is this some kind of weird exporting thing? I have literally never seen that before in my life. Also, Blue Moon? What kind of beer snob are you?
I'm a beer snob who uses google image search, that's who. Point being, it's not a weird export thing, it's something that's actually done. Most of the U.S. beers I see up here will have ABV on the bottle somewhere. Wikipedia says (so it must be true) that certain states charge alcohol taxes based on ABW, which is probably why some American companies keep it there for bottles that aren't exported. Spoiler Also, more obscure parts of my memory are kicking in. I think I remember reading somewhere that American beer labels are required to put the alcohol content as a maximum ("contains no more than..."), where Canadian labels are required to be an average alcohol content.
I always love hearing tales of why you guys hate your towns. Last time dewercs told me of the douche magnet Scottsdale. So I ask with relish bordering on glee: what is bad about Zmilford, Ct
I always confuse it with New Milford. The town of Milford itself isn't bad, but it's two towns away from Bridgeport, and two towns away from Pistol Wavin' New Haven, both world class pieces of a shit. Plus it's on the CT coast, which is worthless because its polluted with poop water from NYC and Long Island.
Utah beer story: I was 20 years old and traveling from Idaho to Las Vegas with a buddy in his '65 Corvette. It had a mechanical tach which if you've never experienced a mechanical tach, they will give you a fucking headache after 1000 miles of listening to that thing whine. I kept threatening to disconnect the fucker and he finally acquiesced to my bitching and we stopped somewhere in Utah for the night. I, being from Idaho, was used to the drinking age being 19 and headed to the store to grab us some beer. Utah's drinking age was 21, but fuck it I was thirsty. I walked in like I owned the place, grabbed a case and put it on the counter. The girl looks at me and says "I can't sell this to you." "Excuse me?" "I'm underage I can't sell beer." "That's alright, I'm not from here and I won't tell anyone. See the Corvette in the parking lot with Idaho plates?" "Ok, I guess I can do it, but I better make this official and check your ID." OH SHIT! "No problem." I whip out my ID and she studies the document that clearly proves I'm underage. She rang me up and I walked out the door with my case of beer. Attitude is everything my friends. Driving a vintage Corvette probably helps too.
I think this is what you're talking about: "The states of Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Utah permit general establishments such as supermarket chains and convenience stores to sell only low-point beer. In these states, all alcoholic beverages containing more than 3.2% alcohol by weight (ABW) must be sold from state-licensed liquor stores. Oklahoma additionally requires that any beverage containing more than 3.2% ABW must be sold at normal room temperature." The beers that you posted, Blue Moon (Colorado) and Schell's (Minnesota), fill some of their bottles with 3.2 beer for sale in convenience stores and some with full strength beer for sale in liquor stores / export to other states. And, like assholes, they charge the same amount for both. From Blue Moon's Wikipedia page (so you know it's the truth): "Blue Moon is available in cans, bottles and kegs, and has 5.4% alcohol by volume. In Oklahoma, Minnesota, Colorado and Utah, the alcohol content of all Blue Moon beers bought in grocery or convenience stores is 3.2% alcohol by weight (approximately 4.0% alcohol by volume)."
It may have changed since, but when I was 21 I lived in Oklahoma and they couldn't advertise beer. They would get cryptic and advertise Rocky Mountain Kool Aid if the store had a sale on Coors. If you wanted to go to a bar and get a mixed drink, you had to buy a membership in a private club. In the county I lived in (McIntosh....home of Carrie Underwood!) if you wanted a mixed drink at a bar you had to buy a membership AND bring your own bottle of booze, the bar would sell the mixer and mix it for you. Mississippi still has some archaic alcohol laws which vary from county to county. The county I lived in (Benton), alcohol is totally and completely illegal.They set up road blocks just to see if you have booze in your vehicle. Lafayette (Pronounced La-fay-yet in Mississippi*) county will only sell warm beer on Sundays from what I've heard and Marshall county won't sell beer till 1PM (After church) on Sundays. *Similarly Amaziah is pronounced as Am-a-zar.
I hate anyone that drinks Stella Artois. Just because you're drinking out of a goddamn champagne flute, you think you're better than me? It's also very skunky.
