I was having pizza and beer at Mountain Mike's in Rohnert Park every game of that Dallas series. It was glorious. Some college buddies and I drove down to watch the game on the big screen inside Oracle when they beat the Trailblazers, last game of the season to take the 8th seed.	Experience Enhancer	0

My favorite song from that show…. Probably OMGarden and No Words. I didn’t bring or take anything, just enjoyed a couple beers from the bar ?? I have some photos, but not sure how to upload those here. I’d say just go and enjoy the hell out of the concert tomorrow! And follow up with me afterwards to tell me what you thought of it ??

I went to Post Malone, my favorite artisr, alone bc no friends wanted to come along. A girl came to sit next to me who was also alone, so the we just kinda enjoyed it together and had a beer afterwards. It was the only time I went to a concert alone and it worked out great. The concert was fire as well	Experience Enhancer	0
Otherwise youll get bored watching an unfamiliar team on TV. However, this will depend on the team and how accessible they are. My team and stadium has a party atmosphere w/ affordable VIP seats that include all u can drink beer and food. Theres even tailgate parties before the game. Some teams are alienating though and price-out fans, which will make it more difficult for a rando to "get into" the scene.	Experience Enhancer	0
It is 6:00 am. I’m preparing to head to the Muni with my father to celebrate the lives of my lifelong Browns fan uncle and grandfather who both passed away last week. Beers will be had, good times will be celebrated, and the Browns will kick ass. It is written. IT IS GAMEDAY MY DUDES.	Experience Enhancer	0
Just so happens I’m going to be in Boston for a conference the week of the Bills game, so I thought I may as well go. I’ll be on my own so it’ll be a solo mission. I’ve been to away games before and there’s usually events/meetups etc. Bit early, but I was just wondering if any of you are planning on going to the game and are down to hang for some pre-game beers! Cheers and Go Bills!	Experience Enhancer	0
Evening, ladies & gents. I’m in Philadelphia this weekend with @siege06nd and we’re looking for the best lager breweries in and around the city. Classic German, Czech and American style lagers. Sessionable lagers. Any and all recommendations are much appreciated. Happy Friday all, and enjoy your holiday weekend.	Experience Enhancer	0

yes you can! I just drink, or hit my ?? pen then have a beer later on or something. being present and not being on your phone is the best part. and the music is so loud and encompassing you feel a rush of adrenaline anyways.	Experience Enhancer	0
to true, for my park residents christmas party, id go around and ask everyone what they drunk and would then go and buy enough for the party and it would be a case of 4 different beer brands at a minimum. on the wine side of things it was also just a couple of reds and white and no spirits	Experience Enhancer	0

They have a 3 mile, 4 mile, and 6 mile group. And it's super friendly. Lots of people socialize before and after, and my friends and I (and others) always get beers and dinner at a local place called Motorco right after. You should stop by! You can even grab a beer and a bite with us after if you like!	Social Seeker	1
Thanks ??. Yeah I love the taste of beers. I also have work things I’ve been avoiding but it would be nice to occasionally socialize with my coworkers. Might just have to call ahead to the bar and see if they have NA.	Social Seeker	1
Paying even $50/month for something you do multiple times a week and enjoy is nothing. I’d say the same about a few of my local bars. I know many of the regulars by this point and I can pop in for a few beers and socialize. It just takes time and effort, and since social media requires little effort it becomes the default option for most I think.	Social Seeker	1
We almost never talk about politics. Why risk spoiling the conversation by introducing potentially divisive subjects? There are other people, like the group of mates I had a couple of beers with last Friday and whose company I’ve enjoyed for years, whose political views are largely unknown to me. All that matters is that I like them as people. Mostly we indulge in idle social gossip or talk about music.	Social Seeker	1
What are you into? We have game nights at games plus one in davenport if you are into board/card games. There is a large amount of microbreweries in the area you can try if you like craft beer, and other bars beyond that even if I view bar pickups as a little cringe. You could try volunteering for the Bix, QC Marathon, or one of the many other large races we do in the community and I believe there's a pay what you can cafe in Rock Island that accepts voluntary labor. If your religious there's always church.	Social Seeker	1
Checking out the beer club is on my list of things to do this summer. Trying to convince a friend to go to LineSider tonight.	Social Seeker	1
If I want to drink some then go out, I normally hang out at some friends places and drink over there before going somewhere, then I’ll buy like a beer or two when I’m out so dont spend stupid money on drinks. I’m not originally from Miami but I’ve always done this, it’s applicable everywhere lol drinks in general are always ridiculously priced, especially with like you said the tips have gotten nuts as well (I’ve always been a tipper but Miami already has prices really high). Went out to wynwood few weeks ago, bought one mixed drink and it was $30, like what, no mixed drink should cost that much unless it’s expensive liquor.	Social Seeker	1
easily like 22 if ur mature enough. thats my age and i sometimes grab a beer with like 30 something yo and one 50yo dude. If you have something to talk about then age dont matter	Social Seeker	1
I was going to suggest this! Setting up your tent is usually the best time to meet people. Share a soft drink/beer/joint/line with your neighbors, chat a bit and get to know them. If I was by myself I’d just bring a six pack, approach a friendly group near me and hold the beers up and ask if I can sit with them and/or if they want a beer. Otherwise chill-out areas are usually good places to meet people. Start up a conversation with someone that looks coherent and friendly enough.	Social Seeker	1
I am down to meet for a beer etc. Let's make this happen. Strictly looking for a friend BTW.	Social Seeker	1

Beer and boardgames in Heidelberg. It's an Event you can find on Meetup. Just 20 to 40 mostly international people meeting to play boardgames. No drinking beer needed, I drink apple juice. There is also a boardgame group meeting at the kolosseum in Heidelberg Thursdays at 17 uhr Hope you like those options	Social Seeker	1
I go to a lot of motorcycle meetups, they are often at bars or breweries. My usual m.o. is to have one regular beer, and then switch over to Athletic Brews, a Non alcoholic beer. I like the taste, and it’s nice to be able to chill and drink with the other guys. I just really don’t want to risk riding home after having more than one alcoholic beer.	Social Seeker	1
Met my current partner at a meadery (that unfortunately no longer exists). I find that wine tasting / beer tasting makes it easier to meet people compared to something like a bar. You have a natural conversation starter (the taste of the drinks) and people are predisposed to be at least partially social at these places. This is not even for romantic connections either, but met some friends this way.	Social Seeker	1
These things happen sometimes, and that's what rescue meds are for. Today is the day I try to get out of the house and meet up with friends at a bar. Part of why I'm not drinking right now is because I'd skip going out and just drink beers at home. I want to socialize more. I'm a bit hesitant to go today though.	Social Seeker	1
I'm just unwinding at home with a glass of wine, enjoying some relaxation ✌️ #wine #napavalley #winetasting #napa #winelover #winery #california #travel #winecountry #vino #love #winestagram #food #beer #winetime #redwine	Habitualist	2
I'd say I would never go out if I didn't drink, but I never go out now (not really). Moving to the suburbs and getting married killed my extracurricular social life. However, I still drink a few beers most nights (on my third tonight now while playing Civ VI). Probably shouldn't. There's no way it is good for me now that I don't use it to talk to people more often.	Habitualist	2
I had just sat down with my bf after work, cracked a beer and put on vpr (I was doing a rewatch). Hit season 8 and decided to check reddit cause s8 is awful lol and then BAM	Habitualist	2

I generally have about 4 beers per night… every night. Apparently makes me alcoholic according to some, but after working 12+ hours a day it’s nice to wind down. I think the most I’ve had since my kids were born is closer to 10, and that wasn’t pleasant (especially the next day haha).	Habitualist	2
After work, I'd head to my martial arts training, dedicating an hour or two to practice and another hour for sparring with someone at my level or stronger. Returning home, I'd share a large meal with my family, and then put our child to bed. Afterward, enjoy a relaxing moment with a blunt or a beer, cherish quality time with my wife, and fall into a restful sleep. I could do that every day.	Habitualist	2
I would say that 2-3 every night at home is a bit much. Like a single glass once a night or like 4-5 days a week is fine IMO. I’ll have 1 beer maybe 2-4 nights a week moreso for taste, in fact this week I had a non alc hazy Ipa 2 nights. Drinking to relax at home on schedule is bad imo	Habitualist	2
Every person I know who works night shift has a drink or two after their shift just to fall asleep lol it might be a common thing. If it's in moderation and it's not ruining your health or interfering with your life, I'd say there's nothing wrong with having a beer or two to relax after work. After all you worked for it.

I don't do it every day just when I feel like I need to take off the edge and relax. I only purchase a six pack at a time. When that runs out I can go anywhere from a couple days to 2 weeks without drinking beer. I feel guilty that it's one of the few ways I can unwind from a stressful day. What do y'all think?

Mocktails are actually pretty nice, especially if your loved one, as with mine, is also trying to avoid drinking beer. While not totally healthy, mocktails, and even some light cocktails, are lower calorie and healthier overall. Also very fun to make.	Moderator	3
I’ve been trying out NA beer. They’re significantly lower calories and, well, non-alcoholic. It scratches the itch for me.	Moderator	3
Overall this week was pretty easy. Never had any major cravings. I went out on the weekend and drank alcohol free beer Friday and Saturday. This was the first time I’ve gone a week without drinking in 5 plus years. What I’ve noticed so far: more energy, whiter eyes, and better sleep. The only drawback I had was I felt like a killjoy when I was the only one in the group not drinking on Friday or Saturday. I’ll say straight away that I did think it was boring not drinking in those social settings on Friday and Saturday. Alcohol free beer mimicked the drinks but it just wasn’t the same. The fact that I’ve gone a week without alcohol and don’t crave it has led me to believe that I’m not addicted to it. Although I am kind of ashamed to say that I thought it was boring not drinking on Friday and Saturday despite going out with people.	Moderator	3
Jenna has amazing “mocktail” recipes, which are ways you can mix a drink without the booze. We drink mocktails all the time, and you don’t miss the alcohol – really! In the youtube video, Jenna and I show you how to mix a mocktail and share other tips to enjoy a celebration with a non-alcoholic mixed drink or beer. Happy Holidays, everyone. Yes, Thanksgiving and Christmas are weeks away, but your holiday starts NOW – get fit before the holidays, and don’t sacrifice your thighs for pies.	Moderator	3
I'm in this camp too at 33. I never had a drinking problem but I've watched several close friends suffer from varying degrees of alcoholism (one likely won't see 40, one got his shit together just in time, and another is still in the "I can quit when I want" phase). Hanging out with my sober friends and realizing we can have just as much fun drinking soda water was an eye-opener for me, and beer has been making me feel incredibly bloated and shitty lately so why waste the money and empty calories for very little enjoyment. Last several times I've gone out to a bar I bought CBD elixirs (gimmicky but whatever) or NA soda waters and I felt so much better for it. I'll probably still drink on rare occasions, but I'm loving this new-found courage to just not drink every time I end up at a bar lol.	Moderator	3
I can relate to a lot of what you've described here. I call myself a beer snob because I enjoy trying new craft beers but won't usually go for any thing else, and I know what I like when it comes to beer. I'm currently on a hiatus because while I was doing well at having less for a couple of weeks, last weekend I went for 8/day two weekend days in a row. My doctor told me recently that 3 is a healthy limit, and I more than doubled that on those days so ... When it becomes a problem for you; When you're too sick the next day to do anything, etc, that's what eventually made me decide I want to shift my focus from drinking beer to everything else in life. It was fun while it lasted, may not be over for me entirely I just don't like where I was headed. Hope this helps.	Moderator	3
I still drink occasionally but I barely go out because of how expensive it's been to have a few drinks out. What went from $3-5 beers is now $7-9 and cocktails are well over $12, usually closer to $15-17 whereas they were $5-7 a few years ago. It went from a $50 night out to $100+. Even buying beer at the store has become expensive unless I'm just drinking budlight/highlife, but even a 12 pack of those can be $12-15, other 12 packs are usually at least $17 and usually $20+. Liquor is a bit more reasonable at the liquor store but still easily a $30 bill to get something drinkable that won't put me in bed for the entire next day. On top of that, it's empty calories, socializing isn't the same since covid too, so going out and drinking just feels like I'm only talking to people I came with instead of sparking up a conversation with people here and there. So I'm not sober but my consumption has seriously taken a nosedive, probably for the better. Every time I travel out of the country (USA) I realize how cheap it is to drink other places. Germany was $2 beers even at the clubs I was at. Japan had 400 yen highballs everywhere I went, and often saw 250 yen highballs. A glass of Hibiki was 1250 yen at a really fancy bar in Kyoto.

Some people find the substitutes to be a life saver; scratch that itch in a completely safe way. Other people do find them too triggering and just need to stay away from the experience entirely. I find NA beer to be a lot more satisfying than the NA liquors, tbh. I also really like the unique flavored syrups that aren’t trying to be a liquor but still can be used to make unique mocktails. Drink Your Flowers makes some good ones.	Moderator	3
I'm close to my 59 birthday and have always exercised and maintained my weight/health (weight has been a ten pound range since college days). However, I'm not perfect and there are a couple of things that I could improve upon. Here is how I tackle beer drinking in moderation: I drink only on days that I work out (Wed, Fri, Sun). I don't drink more than two beers at a sitting (whether at home or at a brewery/bar), especially if I'm driving. Think of sipping versus quantity. I only drink 12-16oz in one hour and two beers in two hours or more. Here are my areas of improvement: I rarely drink with meal. I prefer to be able to experience the beer without having the added complexity of the food. So, I tend to start drinking at 8-9pm in the evening after my dinner has settled. I need to start drinking earlier as not to be too close to going to bed. I don't regulate the ABV. I tend to drink higher ABV beers. Normally, I don't have a problem, but want to start dialing it down in the next couple of years. Stop attending beer festivals. They have the biggest impact on my health as I usually put on a few pounds and have nothing to do with moderation. This will be hard one as one my son's is into craft beer and it's a nice opportunity for us to do something together. Click to expand... I like your idea of only drinking on the days I work out.	Moderator	3
I'd say a big note of progress for the 2020's is the surge of non-alcoholic craft beer. Seems like every other brewery has their own NA and most of them don't suck.	Moderator	3
It feels more flexible than restrictive, as it allows me to "budget" my calories around big events and social outings. If I'm going out to dinner with friends, maybe I'll have a smaller lunch that day. If I'm going on a long hike with friends, I'll have a guilt-free beer or two. Understanding calories in vs. calories out has really been a game-changer for me.	Moderator	3
The agreement was that I could have 1 or 2 drinks with friends, but wouldn't want to have more... it's proven true, that 3rd drink just about guarantees a hangover, 5 or 6 drinks mean it's going to be a 3 day hangover... So I drink non-alcoholic beers or mocktails, or only have 1 drink. Cranberry & Soda passes for a normal drink at the bar, or lemon and tonic water.	Moderator	3
Or else I'm just hanging out with wiser people... No one ever asks or tries to shame me for not drinking now. I really enjoy alcohol free beer, especially Guinness zero, so if I'm out I'll have a couple of those. I think it was more the taste of the drink I enjoyed and the socialising. At least latterly.	Moderator	3
It was a problem, and we cut back to nothing for an entire year. I’ve since dabbled in the occasional social beverage, and it feels really good to be in control. When I do drink, 1-2 beers at a special occasion feels good. I think the most interesting part is how it affects your lifestyle and behavioural. We’ve taken to leaving events earlier- I no longer feel that compulsion to stay late and ‘keep up’ with the other guests.	Moderator	3
I still enjoy the ritual of going out with friends and socializing. I enjoy the ritual of "having a drink" but there's a whole other world of possible drinks that aren't booze. I usually grab 6-12 NA beers if I know I'll be hanging out with people on a weekend now. I get the exact same socialization benefits of everyone else, without turning into a drunken dumpster fire that has ruined the next day. I'll supplement with low dose edibles now, just to take the edge off, but the more that I see NA beers being available in restaurants, the less I think I'll even need that.	Moderator	3
Yeah, I weigh myself daily and definitely notice how much even a couple hundred extra calories can stall my weight loss. It's been helpful in motivating myself: while a couple of beers after work doesn't seem like much, it's not worth it when I hop on the scale the next few days. Being strict also helped me choose healthier options. If I know a slice of cake has the same calories as a high-protein wrap but is more likely to make me feel tired and hungry later, it naturally becomes a lot less appealing.	Moderator	3

I've got some super high gravity homebrews that are over 20 years old - some over 25. They've been kept properly. Last one I cracked was a few years ago (over 20 years old - an imperial stout with elderberries from my sister's farm) and it was sublime. I wouldn't bother with commercial American light lagers that are over six months old (they are so underhopped anyway and those hop oils deteriorate), but whatever floats your goat.	Hobbyist	4
Hello. I want to tell you what I feel when I taste beer. And what are my personal criteria for evaluating a drink. Everyone has their own taste preferences, so it makes no sense to argue with anyone about the taste of beer. For me, the most important thing in beer is its naturalness and honesty of production. Therefore, craft beer is a priority for me. In the case of complete naturalness and compliance with the correct production process, beer cannot be bad. It can taste more or less. Or like this or that style of beer more or less. Therefore, you can drink more delicious natural beer. The most important thing is the balance of grain flavor combined with hop bitterness and aroma.	Hobbyist	4
It's Sunday, how about another beer. Well, this is from last night, not drinking this early. Adventurous Brewing Hefeweizen Appearance: Slightly hazy pale yellow, big head. Smell: Dominated by cloves and mild lemon. Taste: A little hoppy bite, some lemon notes, mild wheaty sweetness and mild clove, a little more tanginess around the edges. Overall: Adventurous is more known for their hazy IPAs but I wanted a “session” beer for football. The hefeweizen is tasty enough. Kind of a mild take with maybe a little more hop bite than your typical hefeweizen.	Hobbyist	4
As a craft beer snob, this makes me happy. Bud Light is not a good beer.	Hobbyist	4
I do what works for me. That’s what’s great about homebrewing. I can do what works for me and produce beer that you do you, and I’ll do me.	Hobbyist	4
chrisjws said: ↑ Slight exaggeration, but really I don't think I'm the only one who drinks 95%+ in-market now because I don't need to trade to get an excellent stout, IPA or sour Click to expand... I can most certainly do the same since in my area (Southeastern PA) there is so many great high quality beers. But I wonder if this is the case on other areas of the US. Do craft beer drinkers in West Virginia just drink 95% local? Or other regions beyond West Virginia? Since your avatar is Stone related, a spoiler alert: this weekend in NBW I will be discussing my recent purchase of Stone Ruination. Needless to say but a non-local beer. Cheers!	Hobbyist	4
Hoo boy, the deep craft beer market where I'm at has a trend towards kettle sours. I had one the other day that tasted like an Ice cream sundae, it was incredible.	Hobbyist	4

Are you in an area where you get water from surface sources like lakes and rivers? My Alkalinity is a little lower than yours. I use acid to lower the pH for lighter colored beers, and I might need to add a little baking soda to raise the pH for Porters or Stouts. Click to expand... Thanks so much, this is really helpful. My first experiments with Brewfather and this new data reinforce exactly what you’re saying. I’ll need a couple of grams of gypsum and calcium chloride to get in range for most styles, and almost every other calculated addition was insignificant compared to those. And then, 2-3mg of lactic acid for lighter things like a golden ale.	Hobbyist	4
Rating: 5 out of 5. If a non-alcoholic beer doesn’t taste like a non-alcoholic beer, then it is truly craft beer. This is the case with the IPA Liberis 2+3. Lean body in taste and form. Great foaming. ... Lean body, extremely fruity with mango in the foreground. Refreshing and pearly/tangy on the tongue. Yes, sometimes I drink beer from jam jars. It is an excellent summer beer. Certainly also a good alternative to a non-alcoholic Radler (with significantly less caloric due to the lack of lemonade). The IPA feel (which I’m a big fan of) comes through, but is not at all overemphasized. Overall really impressive and a joy to drink. You taste the quality and work that Riegele put into this product.

Yes I love my Beachwood west coast ipa’s as much as I love my Green Cheek ipa’s as much as I love my RiiP ipa’s. El Segundo was kinda left behind a few years back, like 6+ years ago.

Help me with a transfer. I have a wheat beer in a bucket with a spigot. I want to move it to a Corny keg. I can pump CO2 into the keg and then rig it up so most of the CO2 goes into the bucket as it drains. I can't make it perfect, because I have no way to make a really good gas connection to the bucket, but there is a hole in the lid, and I should be able to shove a tube in there and create a makeshift seal around it with a paper towel soaked in sanitizing solution. The problem is getting the beer into the keg. I have no liquid disconnects that will fit a tube that will connect to the spigot. I'm thinking of using a gas disconnect. I can put a gas post on the liquid side of the keg and run the beer through it. Then I can pop the post out and put a liquid post in. Is there any reason why this won't work?	No Audience	5

My favorite song from that show…. Probably OMGarden and No Words. I didn’t bring or take anything, just enjoyed a couple beers from the bar ??

I went to Post Malone, my favorite artisr, alone bc no friends wanted to come along. A girl came to sit next to me who was also alone, so the we just kinda enjoyed it together and had a beer afterwards. It was the only time I went to a concert alone and it worked out great.

Otherwise youll get bored watching an unfamiliar team on TV. However, this will depend on the team and how accessible they are. My team and stadium has a party atmosphere w/ affordable VIP seats that include all u can drink beer and food. Theres even tailgate parties before the game. Some teams are alienating though and price-out fans, which will make it more difficult for a rando to "get into" the scene.

They have a 3 mile, 4 mile, and 6 mile group. And it's super friendly. Lots of people socialize before and after, and my friends and I (and others) always get beers and dinner at a local place called Motorco right after. You should stop by! You can even grab a beer and a bite with us after if you like!

Paying even $50/month for something you do multiple times a week and enjoy is nothing. I’d say the same about a few of my local bars. I know many of the regulars by this point and I can pop in for a few beers and socialize. It just takes time and effort, and since social media requires little effort it becomes the default option for most I think.

We almost never talk about politics. Why risk spoiling the conversation by introducing potentially divisive subjects? There are other people, like the group of mates I had a couple of beers with last Friday and whose company I’ve enjoyed for years, whose political views are largely unknown to me. All that matters is that I like them as people. Mostly we indulge in idle social gossip or talk about music.

What are you into? We have game nights at games plus one in davenport if you are into board/card games. There is a large amount of microbreweries in the area you can try if you like craft beer, and other bars beyond that even if I view bar pickups as a little cringe. You could try volunteering for the Bix, QC Marathon, or one of the many other large races we do in the community and I believe there's a pay what you can cafe in Rock Island that accepts voluntary labor.

If I want to drink some then go out, I normally hang out at some friends places and drink over there before going somewhere, then I’ll buy like a beer or two when I’m out so dont spend stupid money on drinks. I’m not originally from Miami but I’ve always done this, it’s applicable everywhere lol drinks in general are always ridiculously priced, especially with like you said the tips have gotten nuts as well (I’ve always been a tipper but Miami already has prices really high). Went out to wynwood few weeks ago, bought one mixed drink and it was $30, like what, no mixed drink should cost that much unless it’s expensive liquor.

I was going to suggest this! Setting up your tent is usually the best time to meet people. Share a soft drink/beer/joint/line with your neighbors, chat a bit and get to know them. If I was by myself I’d just bring a six pack, approach a friendly group near me and hold the beers up and ask if I can sit with them and/or if they want a beer. Otherwise chill-out areas are usually good places to meet people. Start up a conversation with someone that looks coherent and friendly enough.

I go to a lot of motorcycle meetups, they are often at bars or breweries. My usual m.o. is to have one regular beer, and then switch over to Athletic Brews, a Non alcoholic beer. I like the taste, and it’s nice to be able to chill and drink with the other guys. I just really don’t want to risk riding home after having more than one alcoholic beer.

Met my current partner at a meadery (that unfortunately no longer exists). I find that wine tasting / beer tasting makes it easier to meet people compared to something like a bar. You have a natural conversation starter (the taste of the drinks) and people are predisposed to be at least partially social at these places. This is not even for romantic connections either, but met some friends this way.

These things happen sometimes, and that's what rescue meds are for. Today is the day I try to get out of the house and meet up with friends at a bar. Part of why I'm not drinking right now is because I'd skip going out and just drink beers at home. I want to socialize more. I'm a bit hesitant to go today though.

I'd say I would never go out if I didn't drink, but I never go out now (not really). Moving to the suburbs and getting married killed my extracurricular social life.

After work, I'd head to my martial arts training, dedicating an hour or two to practice and another hour for sparring with someone at my level or stronger.

Afterward, enjoy a relaxing moment with a blunt or a beer, cherish quality time with my wife, and fall into a restful sleep. I could do that every day.

I would say that 2-3 every night at home is a bit much. Like a single glass once a night or like 4-5 days a week is fine IMO. I’ll have 1 beer maybe 2-4 nights a week moreso for taste, in fact this week I had a non alc hazy Ipa 2 nights. Drinking to relax at home on schedule is bad imo

Every person I know who works night shift has a drink or two after their shift just to fall asleep lol it might be a common thing.

Mocktails are actually pretty nice, especially if your loved one, as with mine, is also trying to avoid drinking beer. While not totally healthy, mocktails, and even some light cocktails, are lower calorie and healthier overall. Also very fun to make.

Overall this week was pretty easy. Never had any major cravings. I went out on the weekend and drank alcohol free beer Friday and Saturday. This was the first time I’ve gone a week without drinking in 5 plus years. What I’ve noticed so far: more energy, whiter eyes, and better sleep. The only drawback I had was I felt like a killjoy when I was the only one in the group not drinking on Friday or Saturday. I’ll say straight away that I did think it was boring not drinking in those social settings on Friday and Saturday. Alcohol free beer mimicked the drinks but it just wasn’t the same. The fact that I’ve gone a week without alcohol and don’t crave it has led me to believe that I’m not addicted to it. Although I am kind of ashamed to say that I thought it was boring not drinking on Friday and Saturday despite going out with people.

I'm in this camp too at 33. I never had a drinking problem but I've watched several close friends suffer from varying degrees of alcoholism (one likely won't see 40, one got his shit together just in time, and another is still in the "I can quit when I want" phase). Hanging out with my sober friends and realizing we can have just as much fun drinking soda water was an eye-opener for me, and beer has been making me feel incredibly bloated and shitty lately so why waste the money and empty calories for very little enjoyment. Last several times I've gone out to a bar I bought CBD elixirs (gimmicky but whatever) or NA soda waters and I felt so much better for it. I'll probably still drink on rare occasions, but I'm loving this new-found courage to just not drink every time I end up at a bar lol.

I can relate to a lot of what you've described here. I call myself a beer snob because I enjoy trying new craft beers but won't usually go for any thing else, and I know what I like when it comes to beer. I'm currently on a hiatus because while I was doing well at having less for a couple of weeks, last weekend I went for 8/day two weekend days in a row. My doctor told me recently that 3 is a healthy limit, and I more than doubled that on those days so ... When it becomes a problem for you; When you're too sick the next day to do anything, etc, that's what eventually made me decide I want to shift my focus from drinking beer to everything else in life. It was fun while it lasted, may not be over for me entirely I just don't like where I was headed. Hope this helps.

I still drink occasionally but I barely go out because of how expensive it's been to have a few drinks out. What went from $3-5 beers is now $7-9 and cocktails are well over $12, usually closer to $15-17 whereas they were $5-7 a few years ago. It went from a $50 night out to $100+. Even buying beer at the store has become expensive unless I'm just drinking budlight/highlife, but even a 12 pack of those can be $12-15, other 12 packs are usually at least $17 and usually $20+. Liquor is a bit more reasonable at the liquor store but still easily a $30 bill to get something drinkable that won't put me in bed for the entire next day. On top of that, it's empty calories, socializing isn't the same since covid too, so going out and drinking just feels like I'm only talking to people I came with instead of sparking up a conversation with people here and there. So I'm not sober but my consumption has seriously taken a nosedive, probably for the better. Every time I travel out of the country (USA) I realize how cheap it is to drink other places. Germany was $2 beers even at the clubs I was at. Japan had 400 yen highballs everywhere I went, and often saw 250 yen highballs. A glass of Hibiki was 1250 yen at a really fancy bar in Kyoto.

Some people find the substitutes to be a life saver; scratch that itch in a completely safe way. Other people do find them too triggering and just need to stay away from the experience entirely. I find NA beer to be a lot more satisfying than the NA liquors, tbh. I also really like the unique flavored syrups that aren’t trying to be a liquor but still can be used to make unique mocktails. Drink Your Flowers makes some good ones.

I'm close to my 59 birthday and have always exercised and maintained my weight/health (weight has been a ten pound range since college days). However, I'm not perfect and there are a couple of things that I could improve upon. Here is how I tackle beer drinking in moderation: I drink only on days that I work out (Wed, Fri, Sun). I don't drink more than two beers at a sitting (whether at home or at a brewery/bar), especially if I'm driving. Think of sipping versus quantity. I only drink 12-16oz in one hour and two beers in two hours or more. Here are my areas of improvement: I rarely drink with meal. I prefer to be able to experience the beer without having the added complexity of the food. So, I tend to start drinking at 8-9pm in the evening after my dinner has settled. I need to start drinking earlier as not to be too close to going to bed. I don't regulate the ABV. I tend to drink higher ABV beers. Normally, I don't have a problem, but want to start dialing it down in the next couple of years. Stop attending beer festivals. They have the biggest impact on my health as I usually put on a few pounds and have nothing to do with moderation. This will be hard one as one my son's is into craft beer and it's a nice opportunity for us to do something together. Click to expand... I like your idea of only drinking on the days I work out.

I'd say a big note of progress for the 2020's is the surge of non-alcoholic craft beer. Seems like every other brewery has their own NA and most of them don't suck.

It feels more flexible than restrictive, as it allows me to "budget" my calories around big events and social outings. If I'm going out to dinner with friends, maybe I'll have a smaller lunch that day. If I'm going on a long hike with friends, I'll have a guilt-free beer or two. Understanding calories in vs. calories out has really been a game-changer for me.

Moderator

3

The agreement was that I could have 1 or 2 drinks with friends, but wouldn't want to have more... it's proven true, that 3rd drink just about guarantees a hangover, 5 or 6 drinks mean it's going to be a 3 day hangover... So I drink non-alcoholic beers or mocktails, or only have 1 drink. Cranberry & Soda passes for a normal drink at the bar, or lemon and tonic water.

Moderator

3

Or else I'm just hanging out with wiser people... No one ever asks or tries to shame me for not drinking now. I really enjoy alcohol free beer, especially Guinness zero, so if I'm out I'll have a couple of those. I think it was more the taste of the drink I enjoyed and the socialising. At least latterly.

Moderator

3

It was a problem, and we cut back to nothing for an entire year. I’ve since dabbled in the occasional social beverage, and it feels really good to be in control. When I do drink, 1-2 beers at a special occasion feels good. I think the most interesting part is how it affects your lifestyle and behavioural. We’ve taken to leaving events earlier- I no longer feel that compulsion to stay late and ‘keep up’ with the other guests.

Moderator

3

I still enjoy the ritual of going out with friends and socializing. I enjoy the ritual of "having a drink" but there's a whole other world of possible drinks that aren't booze. I usually grab 6-12 NA beers if I know I'll be hanging out with people on a weekend now. I get the exact same socialization benefits of everyone else, without turning into a drunken dumpster fire that has ruined the next day. I'll supplement with low dose edibles now, just to take the edge off, but the more that I see NA beers being available in restaurants, the less I think I'll even need that.

Moderator

Yeah, I weigh myself daily and definitely notice how much even a couple hundred extra calories can stall my weight loss. It's been helpful in motivating myself: while a couple of beers after work doesn't seem like much, it's not worth it when I hop on the scale the next few days. Being strict also helped me choose healthier options. If I know a slice of cake has the same calories as a high-protein wrap but is more likely to make me feel tired and hungry later, it naturally becomes a lot less appealing.

I've got some super high gravity homebrews that are over 20 years old - some over 25. They've been kept properly. Last one I cracked was a few years ago (over 20 years old - an imperial stout with elderberries from my sister's farm) and it was sublime. I wouldn't bother with commercial American light lagers that are over six months old (they are so underhopped anyway and those hop oils deteriorate), but whatever floats your goat.

Hello. I want to tell you what I feel when I taste beer. And what are my personal criteria for evaluating a drink. Everyone has their own taste preferences, so it makes no sense to argue with anyone about the taste of beer. For me, the most important thing in beer is its naturalness and honesty of production. Therefore, craft beer is a priority for me. In the case of complete naturalness and compliance with the correct production process, beer cannot be bad. It can taste more or less. Or like this or that style of beer more or less. Therefore, you can drink more delicious natural beer. The most important thing is the balance of grain flavor combined with hop bitterness and aroma.

It's Sunday, how about another beer. Well, this is from last night, not drinking this early. Adventurous Brewing Hefeweizen Appearance: Slightly hazy pale yellow, big head. Smell: Dominated by cloves and mild lemon. Taste: A little hoppy bite, some lemon notes, mild wheaty sweetness and mild clove, a little more tanginess around the edges. Overall: Adventurous is more known for their hazy IPAs but I wanted a “session” beer for football. The hefeweizen is tasty enough. Kind of a mild take with maybe a little more hop bite than your typical hefeweizen.

Are you in an area where you get water from surface sources like lakes and rivers? My Alkalinity is a little lower than yours. I use acid to lower the pH for lighter colored beers, and I might need to add a little baking soda to raise the pH for Porters or Stouts. Click to expand... Thanks so much, this is really helpful. My first experiments with Brewfather and this new data reinforce exactly what you’re saying. I’ll need a couple of grams of gypsum and calcium chloride to get in range for most styles, and almost every other calculated addition was insignificant compared to those. And then, 2-3mg of lactic acid for lighter things like a golden ale.

Rating: 5 out of 5. If a non-alcoholic beer doesn’t taste like a non-alcoholic beer, then it is truly craft beer. This is the case with the IPA Liberis 2+3. Lean body in taste and form. Great foaming. ... Lean body, extremely fruity with mango in the foreground. Refreshing and pearly/tangy on the tongue. Yes, sometimes I drink beer from jam jars. It is an excellent summer beer. Certainly also a good alternative to a non-alcoholic Radler (with significantly less caloric due to the lack of lemonade). The IPA feel (which I’m a big fan of) comes through, but is not at all overemphasized. Overall really impressive and a joy to drink. You taste the quality and work that Riegele put into this product.

As a java lover, I determined to locate out which quickly meals chain in Canada made the fine coffee... and the reply certainly took me via surprise. To get an concept of the great espresso in Canada, I tried the brew from three of the most famous espresso chains in the country. I stored it easy by means of sampling a small black espresso from Starbucks, Tim Hortons and McDonald's to discover out which one reigns supreme.

Alright everyone, I’ve been struggling to find a good local coffee shop near Niles. Everything seems to be a Starbucks or Dunkin. I am looking for a locally owned coffee shop with good brews and ideally a cozy place to hangout for a while. Does anyone have any recommendations in the surrounding areas?

Despite it being only 92 with 35% humidity, a notably comfortable summer evening, my beer is gone and I'd better go cook up some supper . Y'all have fun!

Help me with a transfer. I have a wheat beer in a bucket with a spigot. I want to move it to a Corny keg. I can pump CO2 into the keg and then rig it up so most of the CO2 goes into the bucket as it drains. I can't make it perfect, because I have no way to make a really good gas connection to the bucket, but there is a hole in the lid, and I should be able to shove a tube in there and create a makeshift seal around it with a paper towel soaked in sanitizing solution. The problem is getting the beer into the keg. I have no liquid disconnects that will fit a tube that will connect to the spigot. I'm thinking of using a gas disconnect. I can put a gas post on the liquid side of the keg and run the beer through it. Then I can pop the post out and put a liquid post in. Is there any reason why this won't work?

I boil chicken in beer, then sear in the pan. Perfect for weeknight shredded chicken tacos.

I will have a heavy beer in lieu of a snack on an occasion. Such as when I’m on a boat and hungry, but there are only beers. ??‍♂️ not a big drinker at all, to clarify.

Even when I was younger and mostly drank cheap shitty beer, I still didn't drink Bud Light.
