Lovejoy-
You're pretty funny when you can't sleep.

 

[Ninjashadow]

Feel any different?

Yes, I feel...dirty.

It is even worse than that! I was at a party hosted by a Russian tonight. I don't drink usually, but Russians are not known for taking no for an answer. After a few glasses of home brew, I am lucky to be sitting up straight in my chair.

Someone get the hoses!

Drunkard.

Just make sure it's warm water. :rain:

:cheers: That home brew was lethal. Boris (that really is his name) claims it is around 9.5%.

 

[Lighthouse]

89.5% alcohol, and 9.5% everything else?

 

[Ninjashadow]

That's about what's in beer. Did you mean 95%?

 

[Lovejoy]

Most American beers are only around 3.5 to 4%. European beers might get to 5 or 6%, but not much higher. Remember, beer is gotten from the secondary metabolites of anaerobic fermentation by yeast. It is not like distillation.

Okay, that is moonshine, and I want no part of it. Unless you are cleaning a wound or something.

That Biccardi Silver stuff is 9 or 10%, but I don't think it's made the same way as beer.

 

[Lovejoy]

That (I believe) is a malt liquor. Which is different because, um, i have no idea. But it is different.

 

[Ninjashadow]

I think you're right. You're the Doc, so I'll take your word for it.

 

[Lovejoy]

Honestly, malt liquor uses a bottom fermenting yeast and a wort that has more fermentation properties (sugars), which raises the alcohol content. Otherwise it is the same as most beers. And I really don't drink, I just had to take a lot of microbiology courses.

:chuckle: That's your story and you're sticking to it, right? I'm not supposed to drink right now, so I don't.

It's really mostly the truth, parts of it. What is stopping you from drinking (as if anyone needed a reason)?

 

[Lighthouse]

Whay can't you drink, ninja? Are you pregnant?

 

[Lovejoy]

:baby: How cute!

I play football in college and part of the training program is not to drink alcohol.
