[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 3.2 beer? (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 3/23/2011 5:49:04 PM EDT
| So WTF, I bought a couple 32 ounce bottles tonight and I got home and read the labels they said they were 3.2% only (at most) alcohol, what is average alcohol? What is avg alcohol of bud light? |
|
Quoted: Bud is 5% except in jurisdictions that restrict the alcohol content. Bud Lite is 4.2%. Average for beer is probably about 4-6%. MN doesn't permit grocery stores to sell beer with greater than 3.2% ABV. Damn. Sorry to hear you guys up there got da beer AIDS too.  |

Quoted:
There really isn't that much of a difference when you are talking about Bud. What you bought is 3.2% by weight, which is equal to about 4% by volume. I think normal Bud is 5% by volume. It is enough of a difference for me to avoid it though. so its almost normal? |

Quoted: So WTF, I bought a couple 32 ounce bottles tonight and I got home and read the labels they said they were 3.2% only (at most) alcohol, what is average alcohol? What is avg alcohol of bud light? It is probably because it is measured by weight. Most of the country measures by volume, but some states like Utah measure by weight. If it is measured by weight then 3.2 is about 4% which is standard for bud light. So yeah, bud light is 3.2 everywhere by weight. |

Nothing over 3.2% by weight other than at liquor stores. ETA: Oh wait, you're from Alaska. Now you I really do feel sorry for.  |

Quoted: fuck this 24oz I just drank has a max of 3.2%  . Thanks Utah I'll have to drink 1200 calories of beer to get a buzz.fail You will have to drink more, but not 1200 calories. Full strength budweiser is 3.7, so for every 6 pack you drink you will have to drink approx. 1/2 an extra beer of 3.2 to get the same amount of alcohol in a full strength bud.. hardly 1200 calories. |

You're not in Oklahoma, are you? Did no one warn you? You have 7 minutes and counting to get to a liquor store for real beer. FO! Minnesota I know we can't be beer on sundays but i figured gas stations could hook me up during the week  
So, let me get this straight. You live in MN, and though you could buy strong beer at a gas station? Really? How old are you? You must be a youngster, otherwise Imma have to call you STUPID. |

Weak beer sucks.
Off topic, but does OH still have drive through liquor stores? No idea about Ohio but I saw several in Arkansas last week. Yeah AR has them too, but the ones in OH were like a car wash...you actually drove through the store. First place I'd ever seen that. |

The local Safeway has an attached, but separate liquor/beer store. Not a terrible arrangement. Beats the fuck out of the rules back in PA. State run liquor/wine stores, and beer distributors were separate. Other than that, 6-pack carry out from bars, but that's it. Fuck that. |

Real liquor has to be bought at the licensed liquor store. In the closest town to me it's a grocery; in the next closest it's a Rite-Aid drug store. |

Liquor stores ONLY. I didn't want to go to a liquor store for a few reasons |

Quoted: High ABV =/= Flavor. I have a really nice homebrew that's only 3.5% in the fridge right now. If you wanna get drunk quick on bud light money, by cheap liquor. Also, dumping a shot or 3 of vodka into a bottle of Odoul's works pretty well too Ya but I could not imagine a good winter beer that was only 3.5%. |

The only cure for 3.2 beer is to add Rum, lots of Whalers Dark Rum No,no. One would use vodka. And it's known as a "special". I could tell stories about the night I invented the beerquila, but I honestly don't remember a whole lot after that little insight. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Quoted: Quoted: What sort of crappy beer are you buying that only has 3.2% alcohol? You can get 32oz bottles of malt liquor with 6% alcohol.  You are unfamiliar with Blue Laws, and I envy you. A response like that makes me want to go out to Total Wine to purchase some Belgian ale with 14+% alcohol.  |
