Dumb question about beer?!
Answers: me and my friend were drinking the other night at his place and he's trying to tell me that warm beer gets you drunker faster than cold for some reason. i disagree but i told him that i would ask people. it's a dumb question but i'd just like to know. thanks
It would be interesting to test because there's actually a couple of points of truth here.
Beer will always be the same ABV but there's factors to consider. The first being the actual difficulty of drinking a beer or anything for that matter. In my experience it's hard to drink cold fizzy drinks compared to warm flat drinks.
Truth one is that CO2 actually does begin to come out of solution the warmer a beer/drink gets. I can't say you'd notice a difference in the short term but warm beer does theoretically have less fizz.
Truth two is that the colder something is the harder it is for your body to digest it. It's pretty much the same idea of how you react to jumping in cold water, drinking something that cold effectively does the same to your innards it's reaction is to reject it or acclimate to it.
I smell a Mythbusters submission...
drinking beer through a straw is the fastest way
No, its the same..
I love an ice cold beer.. I hate it when its warm, its disgusting
The only reason it's true is because you'll drink the warmer or room temp beer faster. Other than that it's BS.
Well ... I once told myself, that a beer drunk cold, wasn't as fattening, as a warm one - because if it's cold you spend some of the calories warming up the beer to body temperature! :D :lol:
.. yeah, I don't believe that anymore!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Beer & Wine Myths & Urban Legends.
If the beer/wine is 8.5% abv at 38 degrees, it will still be 8.5% abv at 60 degrees.
The reason you want to drink high alcohol beers, barley wines, and wines (ports & sherries) is to mellow the harshness of the alcohol flavor that can be present in them.
As far as the straw theory goes . . . there is no empirical evidence, scientific or otherwise, that proves that you will "get drunk faster" drinking out of a straw. If you have evidence that is more that "I know a guy" or "this one time at a party", I'd love to see it.
Total crap. The amount of alcohol doesn't change with temperature.
oh my god that is a dumb question
I don't know if it will be significantly noticeable, but yes, it will get you drunk faster if it's closer to body temperature. The reason being is because fluids that are close to the body's temperature, will absorb easily, where cold fluids will cause the blood vessels in the stomach and intestinal lining to constrict, and not be able to absorb as much fluid. This isn't true for just beer, its true for all fluids. If running a marathon and worried about dehydration, its best to drink warm water/gatorade than to drink cold liquids.
I don't think so... the straw thing i've heard, but warm beer is just gross. I wouldn't even drink it if that were the case!
Complete garbage. The alcohol content of a beer does not change with temperature. The only way warm beer would get you drunk faster is if you actually drink it faster.
There's no difference in which way the beer is drank it still has the same alcohol content whether it's cold or warm. Warm beer is rather disgusting to me i'd rather have a cold one myself!
beer taste nasty..so i wouldn't no
the warmth of a beer has nothing to do with it....
dumb shitz now a-dayz
heard that & that drinking out of a straw get you drunker faster too, but i believe either...
no, that makes no difference, with a straw does though
dont know about beer but if you keep vodka in the freezer it wont freeze but the alcohol content goes up . (its great) .
