Drain Pours

Well you drink more than I do and your doctor will probably tell you that you are drinking too much and are on a path to get the problems you are trying to avoid.

Cave creek Chili Beer. I love beer. I love spicy. I don’t love them together. I got through two sips and dumped the rest.

 

I will occasionally drain pour. Mostly if it's a beer I don't particularly love and want to just move onto something else. Even still, I'll usually drink about half of it to make up my mind before dumping. It's pretty rare that I dump though, and sometimes the bad beers are fun to laugh at and figure out where it went wrong

 

Both my current and previous docs have said there is nothing wrong with the amount I drink and that I am in great health. What's next in your attempt to pick a fight with me? Are you going to tell me my doctors are quacks and didn't go to medical school?

 

Read this article https://www.usnews.com/news/health-..., March 31, 2023 (,of heart disease and death.

It says "7 standard drinks or more a week — Your risk of heart disease or stroke increases significantly at this level." Did you not say that you have 10 a week? At one point it was thought that one or two a day is actually good for you, but recent studies say that is wrong. This was something I had heard on the news maybe in the past month so that is why I said what I said and your next doctor's visit may be giving you different advice. This is just one article so are you saying you know more than these people? What qualifies you to say that they are wrong?

 

I definitely do not know more than the folks who did that research. But those researchers don't know as much about me as my current and former PCPs. Point is, the data in those studies are aggregate numbers. They are taking into account some control variable, I am sure, but they still don't know as much about my individual health as my current and former PCPs. My current and former PCPs know my diet, exercise routine, health history, and family health history, and both agree that staying under ten drinks per week and under four drinks on any given night is perfectly fine.

I'm still puzzled as to why you take issue with me pouring out beers that I'm not not into instead of just choking them down. Alcohol is poison. Period. Why would I drink poison if I'm not really enjoying it? Moreover, why is it so difficult for you to respect this perspective? I am not taking issue with you never drain pouring a beer, why are you taking issue with me doing it? Again, I am puzzled.

 

A while ago there were a ton of threads on here about drain pours, and it seemed like a ton of people not only were dumping half their beers, but were proud of it.
I'll say there have been very few times that I;ve dumped a beer - aside from infections and such. One in particular was a half a bomber of Soutern Tier Creme Brulee stout - way too sweet, and I couldn't even consider capping it to put in my fridge for the following day.
The only others I've dumped are old homebrew that was oxidised, possibly buggy, etc.

 

Only distinct drain pours of mine I remember is Cave Creek Chile beer and DFH Festina Peche (was a newbie at the time, it tasted like bile to me, now I consider it quite tame compared to other sours). Bottom line, craft beer is expensive. I'll try and just work through the beer vs pouring it out.

 

I’m the opposite. Even a mediocre beer takes only 30 minutes to drink—a lousy book takes days or weeks to finish, depending on your pace. And there’s absolutely nothing quite like drinking a shitty beer while reading a terrible book.
