But I have to call out @PJH on his spelling. What gives, mate?
I'm fairly certain I spelt
hex
right...

Well played, sir. Not a dent in your armour, I see.

So you're OK with not knowing how strong your beer is then?
If I am worried about it, there are always ways to find out. I don't think it is necessary for it to be a requirement for labeling laws though.
As a general rule, if it has "double (dubbel), triple (trippel), imperial or something of the sort in the name...you should probably respect it a bit more than Budweiser.

given that i don't drink that used horse water.... yeah i'm perfectly okay with that. ;-)

I'll turn you yet!

It's a beer, so it's somewhere in between 3.5% and 10%. That's as precise as you need.
-

I see it the same as the list of ingredients: full disclosure of the contents. After all, it's not exactly nanny-stateist to want full disclosure over the contents of something that will end up inside you.Note that the requirement is simply to show the ABV; there are no limits on how strong something can be.

Just what a nanny state dependent would say.

It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right?

No, that's as precise as you need; I want to know the actual strength, so if, say, I'm having a beer with lunch, I can keep to one of the weaker ones, as I'll have to drive home later.

Why does everything have to be blamed on some nanny-state?

You too, you just don't know it.

If you have a beer with lunch, it's going to be at a bar or restaurant where the ABV isn't posted anyway.
I can keep to one of the weaker ones, as I'll have to drive home later.
How much later? If it's more than an hour and you only have one beer, you're fine.
You can get a breathalyzer for like $20 now, you should try one out and play with it, you'd be surprised.

Add in a British accent, and this is @RaceProUK.

Also put the word "status" back in the thread title, you fucking assholes.

In the UK, it's always displayed.
@blakeyrat said:How much later? If it's more than an hour and you only have one beer, you're fine.
Experience proves this to be true. However, I refuse to allow myself to be complacent.To be clear, in the past, I have driven while close to, but still under, the legal limit. After a while though, I found doing so distasteful. So I try to avoid having any alcohol in my system when driving as much as possible.
I'll add one more thing: if I'm at a beer festival or something similar (and obviously not driving), then knowing the ABV is very useful, as it can help me choose a beer to have based on taste, or simply go for something because it's stupidly strong

I'll admit, I am a bit of a beer snob ;)

Scotch ales are also pretty strong.

Yes, I noticed. I got errors on a couple of attempted navigations.

Just how late are you having lunch, 15 minutes before going home? If you have lunch halfway through a typical 8-hour day, no beer on earth should have enough alcohol that you'll have any left in you by the time you get home. (And unless you have 0.0%BAC laws or something, even having just one in the midafternoon shouldn't be a big deal.)

Good job.

There's also the issue of working through the afternoon, which is easier to do with less alcohol.

Just in case someone teleports more beer into the can or adds a few splashes of vodka when you're not looking?

Sigh. Ok, so who's gonna rename all major threads to some variation of "status"?

I don't do thread title jacking, although I find it amusing occasionally.

beer into the can
The only time I drink that stuff is when there is literally no alternative.Look, all I'm saying is I want to know how strong my beer is, so I can choose the right one at the right time. Why is this such a difficult concept to grasp?

It's not, we just like calling you a wuss.

Fair enough; I've been called worse

Not even close to "roflmao", but I definitely audibly chuckled on that one.

Don't apologize for a liquid lunch.
A while ago, a major competitor took me to lunch and offered to buy out my business and take on all my workers, clients and myself.
My response: "It is a random Wednesday and I just had two beers with lunch. Can I do that if I am working with your business?"
