Stronger then ABV would suggest?

Sorry, but this is bullshit, too. Even the legendary Absinthe, which was once said to have psychoactive properties and was even banned in the US as a result, is intoxicating because of nothing more than it's high percentage of alcohol according to recent studies.

We're talking absorption rates here, and little else. Remember, you'll get more buzzed drinking on a stomach full of carbs than you will a gut full of protein because of how each food effects the rate at which the alcohol enters your bloodstream.

 

delerium tremens.

 

So, I just wanna say, the other day I finished off a sixer of Lagunitas Undercover. Now, I thought this was just one of those unusual days where you can drink 2 or 3 times the normal amount to achieve the usual desired effects. That happens to y'all every now and then right? I cant explain it but it happens occasionally where the alcohol just doesnt seem to hit me. Anyway, tonight Im on #5 of another Lagunitas Undercover sixer, and Ill definately finish the sixer. But now Im starting to think there is no way this beer is 9.8%abv. I mean, generally I have 3 10%ish beers and Im good for the night. Anyone else noticed this going on with this beer this year?

 

I had PtE and Sculpin one night and was fine. The next night I drank one Blind Pig and was really buzzed! I'm sure it had to do with something other than the ABV but it was kind of funny.

 

There are a couple that do it for me, heady topper and deviant dales for sure though. Maybe its all the hops? Seems to always be IPAs that I get it from.

 

For me its Sucaba! I mean it's only 12.5% ABV but every time I have one I feel like I drank two Parabolas and I start drunk texting people! I love it though, best buzz in the craft-beer industry!

 

Well legally speaking, an 8% ABV ale could be 8.3% and still retain the original 8% label. Additionally, re-fermented and bottle conditioned beers tend to be higher in abv than what's claimed on the bottle. Especially if they have been aged for a 6 months or more.

 

Golden Monkey. It has weird powers. I think I'm the only one of my friends who hasn't puked from drinking it.
