Ah yes. Drinking beers is a great way to... hide alcoholism.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It's not alcoholism it's a serious, elegant, and all-consuming hobby. That's all. I'm just a hopsthusiast and constant connoisseur. That's all.

I spent a while acting like I was really interested in the flavors of mezcal, brandies, scotch and whiskey before I was finally fuck it and just drank $5 brandy and Diet Pepsi.

I've been a white guy since the 80's and I have no idea what an IPA is. It is a beer. It is a "pale ale" whatever that is. It also comes equipped with the letter i. Is that all there is to know?

Will you please stop being reasonable and join the gender-conformist circlejerk? Girls like lattes, boys like beers -- it's basic science

[-] moipe@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

My b. Gee whiz I sure can't get enough IPA. It pairs nicely with the penis that I have.

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

And I can't seem to get enough penis, so it all balances out in the grand scheme of things

India Penis Ale

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago

I think you meant to say, Girls are addicted to lattes and Boys are addicted to beer. And if addicted hard enough will make their addiction a part of their personality.

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

I think people who make gender conformism a part of their personality are worse than people who like IPAs or lattes

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I’m not a big fan of either. Is this how I find out I’m non-binary?

(I don't know if that's a real community here :P)

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

It’s around somewhere. I’ve seen it in ALL

The I stands for India as the British used to have to stick loads of hops in for the ale to make it to India without going off as hops are antimicrobial.

If you're a white guy since the 80s what were you before that?

[-] squiblet@kbin.social -4 points 1 year ago

It’s a beer with a fuckton of hops that tastes sort of horrible, unless it’s from Oregon.

[-] Halafax@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

I like beer, I prefer IPAs. "bitter and boozy" is how I describe what I want to bartenders and matchmakers. You don't like IPA, then don't drink it?

[-] __ghost__@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Been sober for almost a year now and never felt better. Sobriety isn't something everyone has to strive for, but damn I'll tell you it feels good

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Congratulations! I know from experience it's a great feat, but well worth it

Shut the fuck up and let me drink what I like, ok?

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I feel personally attacked. And buzzed.

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago

Made a new year's resolution a few years back to quit drinking cheap beer, and drank nothing but local craft IPA's for a whole year and became even more of a raging alcoholic drinking 4 or less IPAs every night, than when I drank a 12 pack of cheap beer every night

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

If you're looking to wean yourself off of it, I was able to cut back by just stocking liquid death water in the fridge. I used to drink 4-5 cans of beer a night and then replaced it with 3 beers, one water. I found for me at least just holding/drinking from the can was enough for me to cut back one can per night for a few months, and then did the same down to two cans of beer per night.

At first I thought the idea of canned water was so dumb, but realized some of my addiction was not the alcohol itself, but just the act of drinking, and if water were in a beer can, that would be a foot in the door to change my habits.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Pretty much my story exactly. I've been going 2 or 3 days a week without lately though. The alcoholism creeps up on you. I'm never drunk per se, but I'm almost always buzzed before bed. I'm trying to cut it out though.

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

The first time I quit was cold turkey and i had insane night terrors. I relapsed after my father passed, and the last time I quit i stepped down a few beers every night, drinking progressively smaller Miller Lite Tallboys (they have like 4 damn sizes) till i completely quit and started drinking Nonalcoholic IPAs as a reward instead of drinking them because i NEEDED them. Its not easy, but its possible! And i love having a Nonalcoholic beer every other weekend or so.

I like ipas. Citra is my hop. I'm sorry my preferences of drink is annoying to you.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Citra, Nelson, Simcoe... Oh my!
