I know. I was just trying to give some illustration for the level of intoxication I was referring to. I’m talking about that ‘a little tipsy but still in control of myself’ stage.

Arbitrarily dismissing something because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it ceases to be true. The “No True Scotsman” fallacy is just that, a fallacy.

In fact, I’ve used both of those while lawn mowing over the years . . . but I’d never reach for them normally!
i think you’re making @sarcelle and @Tis_Bearself nervous . . .
kind of–but the depth charge tends to use a full beer, while the traditional working man’s boilermaker used a partial glass (4oz? 6oz?)So…is a depth charge a subset of a boilermaker? In other words, are all depth charges boilermakers but not all boilermakers are depth charges?
I never found out if there was anything to the warning that if you didn’t get it down quickly, it would become disgusting as the whiskey spread . . .
Good point.
The level at which one is a danger behind the wheel, and would be rightly convicted of DUI, is well below the level we would commonly call “drunk”.
(FWIW, hungover is apparently as dangerous, or slighly more dangerous, while cellphoning is more dangerous. And I suspect that actively smoking is at least or more dangerous, too, given the grossly disproportionate fraction of drivers doing clueless/oblivious things that are puffing on their pacifiers . . . oh, and fatigue is close, i think, but at least susceptible to a jolt of adrenaline . . .)
Or if you think I can carry a tune. People notice that my singing gets better as they drink more . . . even then, cats just aren’t very good at harmony . . .

we used to also do it for oilcans. Come to think of it, I still occasionally puncture the bottom of a jug when I don’t have a huge funnel handy (with a funnel, it can catch the blurps when I squeeze–not a good idea if the jug is straight in the engine . . .)
It’s also quite useful for getting concentrate out of a juice can . . .
I’ve also been known to use a “racking tube” (for siphoning) to provide air to the bottom of a five gallon carboy to get the water out faster (I bleach them to sterilize them for fermenting homebrew, and it takes quite a while to glug themselves dry if you just put them upside daown).
I wouldn’t miss beer much if I never had another one–but where would I get my hops?
I’m going to do some more experimenting with other beverages to hop once I get around to ordering more of them . . . most likely candidate is probably an extremely light beer (but with grains that have heavy mouthfeel) and carbonation somewhere between beer and soda . . .
I think all this discussion is reigniting my inner beer lover. I had to run an errand tonight (long story) that found me in a mind-bogglingly “totally” well-stocked beer and wine store. I had never been in that store before. I ended up getting a bottle of Kronenbourg 1664 (originally from Alsace) and a tall can of Bitburger from Germany (enjoyed both of these the last time I was in the “old country”) and something I’d never heard of before from Belgium, Bavik beer in this cute little multilingual red squat can. (I was looking for Jupiler but they didn’t carry it.) I had to limit myself to the $1.99 per single beers, as I am perpetually on a strict budget.HomeschoolDad:

Tonight’s dinner was a frozen cauliflower crust cheese pizza, some vegetarian “chick’n” nuggets with homemade sour cream dip, and a Natural Light. I always keep a Natty or two in the refrigerator for those rare occasions. They may not be so rare anymore.

we generally have wine with dinner, as much for the calory difference as actual preference . . . but wine has no hops!.

Shotgunning beers is Vatican II modernist nonsense.
Traditionally one used a beer bong facing ad orientum

This is one of those questions that has haunted the faithful for years. Hopefully a Papal Encyclical will address this issue very soon.

Certainly- RCs can shotgun beers are proficiently as anyone.
I find that I have to have red wine with spaghetti or lasagna, otherwise it “just doesn’t feel right”. I did have spaghetti last night with garlic bread and a glass of ice water — my father had been ill and I couldn’t chance driving to the emergency room on a Saturday night with wine on my breath — and something was just missing.
Thankfully my father is better this morning. Everyone’s prayers for HomeschoolGrandpa would be appreciated.

Our beerbong in college held a 12 pack…as in 12 pitchers.

I’ve seen these making the rounds in advertisements as of late (which is funny to me, as I’m not a vegetarian!). How do they taste?
They’re all right, you’d never mistake them for chicken, but then again, McDonald’s chicken nuggets are a variation on the theme of chicken as well. I like the vegetarian nuggets with my own homemade sour cream dip.HomeschoolDad:

I guess I haven’t seen them advertised as vegetarian chick’n nuggets (unless we’re talking about completely different things), but nugs that are fortified with the vitamins and minerals that many miss by not eating their veggies. Personally, I find them tasty.

I associate this type of behavior with binge drinking. I’ve always been amazed that binge drinkers often can’t stand to taste the beverages they quickly imbibe. These are the same people who will never develop a taste for dry wines or craft beers. You may as well just give them Mogen David or Manischewitz to guzzle down along with the cheapest vodka. The good stuff is wasted on them.
