Overhated. This shit is perfectly drinkable, tastes like bananas (which happens to be my favourite fruit). It does the job and is better than most macro beers.

>perfectly drinkable
5% of the liquid in that bottle is a literal poison.
Poison is drinkable
In the sense that it won't kill you as immediately and obviously as a gram of cyanide, sure.
It's still perfectly drinkable. Why are you so desperate to be right?
Again, yes, in the sense that the damage to your brain and body isn't immediately obvious. To you, at least.
Alcohol in low concentration is good for your health. Not my fault you have bigger genes and can't stop drinking unless he goes full moron.
>Alcohol in low concentration is good for your health
How low? Parts per million?
>Not my fault you
Stop. This isn't a "me" thing, this is universal. Even moderate "drinking" has been linked to deformations in the brain.
Less than an ounce of pure alcohol per day.
> Even moderate "drinking" has been linked to deformations in the brain.
Define moderate. 90% of the booze is consumed by the 10% of drinkers. Age of drinking is also a major factor. You shouldn't drink until about 25. Same with pot.
>You shouldn't drink until about 25
And yet, the "legal" age for pouring disinfectant down your throat is 21. Funny, that...
>Same with pot
In that both should be treated as they were at the peak of their enforcement? Agreed.
>Doesn't dispute the less than an ounce claim or expand on his moderate consumption claim
Genelet btfo
I find that debating drunk "science" tends to lead to a "playing chess with a pigeon" phenomenon.
>Again, yes
Okay cool, thanks for agreeing
So? Ultraviolet rays are known to cause cancer yet I still go outside into the sunlight.
Show me the life-sustaining vitamin ethanol helps your body produce, then we'll talk.
it helps my body produce don't-freeze-up-and-turn-glassy-eyed-and-panicky-around-other-people vitamin
Going outside and poisoning your skin is wholly unnecessary with supplementation, but it is done for the nonnutritional benefits. Like alcohol providing pain relief and vasodilation.
Not everything has to provide vitamins either. Spices didn't provide much nutritional benefit but they make food much more pleasant.
Alcohol also provides energy, by the way.
>but muh glucose efficiency
I don't see you strictly consuming Calorie-Mate and multivitamin pills.
Just as a small fact. Methanol gets oxidized to formaldehyde that's why you die or go blind.
And ethanol reacts to the proteins in your cells, causing them (and you) to die.
give it up ESL you are so incredibly needy
I'll take being called an "ESL," by someone who doesn't know proper capitalization (except in initialisms) and punctuation, with a light chuckle and move on.
Answer this ESL
What about the social aspect?
Yeah sorry holmes nobody types like that unless they’re autistic or trying to shack up with their english teacher in highschool
Not my problem
Good, you don't consume ethanol.
I refuse to call it simply "drinking."
>What about the social aspect?
What about the social aspect of going to a crack house or an opium den?
Why? I'm not the OP of this thread.
Whatever's funnier to you. English is still my first and only language, whatever the frick that has to do with the topic.
You should meet my cousin ricky, he’s hilarious after a couple tall boyz.
I hear the same is true about a lot of people after they smoke a joint, or do a bump of meth. In all cases, my response is the same: I'll take your word for it.
Im sorry I dont actually have a cousin rick but try and lighten up like him.
Well, now that I know he doesn't exist, I will, in fact, lighten up "like him."
You'll stop existing too? Excellent decision.
>then we'll talk
I'd prefer we didn't, you seem an insufferable gay.
Every time someone says that to me about my refusal of ethanol, I take it as a compliment.
Literal poison, yes.
Nobody says that to you about your refusal of ethanol, they say it to you about your being an insufferable gay.
And that opinion ultimately stems from my refusal of ethanol, so once again, I'll take that as a compliment.
thats why i dont go outside but drink lots of beer
>this alcoholic beverage has alcohol in it?!
>OH MY GOD HOW WILL I EVER RECOVER
Paracelsus would like to have a word with you about "poison" and dosage.
Drink 15l of water try eating 200g of good old harmless table salt and see how that goes.
>the does makes the poison
Yes, being regularly exposed to small amounts of mercury over a long period of time is perfectly harmless, I'm sure.
You must be thinking about someone else, because I'm no ESL.
>does
Yes, that is embarrassing of me. How kind of you to notice.
>Yes, being regularly exposed to small amounts of mercury over a long period of time is perfectly harmless, I'm sure.
Not them but remove
>perfectly
and depending on the dosage, a daily exposure to a small enough amount of heavy metal(s) could be symptomatically negligible, even as the total amount accumulates in the body.
That is to say it could be a daily exposure over the course of a natural lifespan minuscule enough that death by old age or unrelated conditions would end up killing the person before they started displaying symptoms of chronic heavy metal poisoning. So while not perfectly harmless, absorbing symptomatically insignificant amounts of lead, mercury, etc. can be of little practical harm.
Even then, comparing the toxicity of ethanol to heavy metals ignores that the body DOES extrude the poisonous ethanol and its byproducts entirely - it is water soluble and the liver can process ethanol up to a point, so it doesn't bio-accumulate.
Certain heavy metals suck so much because unlike ethanol, humans have not evolved an adaptation to handle poisonous accumulation of them in the body, and even with modern medicine it is difficult to extract and damage is often irreversible.
It's very apples to oranges.
are you the ESL that's been seething in every thread that mentions alcohol the past couple weeks?
They make the only good 0% that I've tasted. I like the taste of beer so it's my go-to
Any alcohol that tastes like bananas was fermented wrong, you're supposed to toss it
>Any alcohol [...] you're supposed to toss it
Agreed, so long as it can't also be used for cleaning and disinfecting.
Fair enough
OP you can buy this but you're gonna need a still to use it
I've drunk rubbing alcohol when I ran out of drinking alcohol before
🙂
Can you still see?
Just about
That's wrong - a lot of perfectly made hefeweizens taste like bananas.
some whiskys get that but it goes away with barrel aging
Yeah drinkable to kids, then you learn better and move on. It's like some novelty, like the Beatles or some shit.
Is Heineken hated? Most people I know like it. It's not everybody's favourite but I've never really heard anyone talk shit about it.
Not OP, it's that it's not liked or disliked. It's just that it is and I think that on their own most people don't pick it on their own. It's Budweiser level.
>it's that it's not liked or disliked.
That's what I think of it honestly, it's a perfectly alright beer, but it's nothing I'd ever ask for specifically
Hipster homosexuals have to pretend they hate it so they can pretend to like obscure IPAs and hard ciders as a surrogate for having a personality
Green bottle beer is always unpopular
It's better than the bottom tier. I wouldn't turn down a free Heineken, but I would never buy a pack again.
Not too far up from bottom tier but pretty close.
That's good advertising
Never seen anyone who wasn't a Black person order a heineken at a bar or strip club.
Heineken is badass, though if Blue Moon is available I'll probably get it most of the time.
Actual overhated beer
I don't know many people who hate Corona, but it seems more popular the further away from Mexico you get. Everyone near the border drinks Modelo from what I've seen.
The hassle of having to tell the dipshit behind the bar not to shove a limp shred of dirty fruit into it prevents me from buying these while eating out.
Hate waiting for your beer to turn skunky? Try Heineken! Skunky from the start!
why is this? it's not the green bottles, because canned heineken is just as bad (if not worse)
I've never had a Heineken that wasn't skunked to high heaven.
Green bottles were a mistake.
Checked, it ain't the bottles, Yuengling is just fine (and they even have screw tops)
Some people just like skunky swill, I guess
>and is better than most macro beers
Almost got me there. Quality bait
let's just say the bottle is pretty iconic and it's drinkable. but that's about it. from tap it can be fine. it's the beer i get when there is no other option
>tastes like bananas
what bananas have you been eating?
The ones that went extinct decades ago. They turned into a fermented mush that, like all ethanol products, was unfit for human consumption, but some wine snob told OP it had a "rich and complex flavor" and it warped his tastebuds so now it's the only thing he tastes.
yeah that banana didnt actually go extinct. go be a moron elsewhere
lil homie got butthurt by a tame joke.
It's horse shit compared to Belgian, German or French alternatives.Kronenbourg is miles ahead after 2 decades of desperate Heineken attempts at innovation. You just can't buy your way into good taste and quality.
>tastes like bananas
Aussie detected.
I'm an Aussie living in The Nederland and it tastes sooooo much better over here. Lion Nathan or whoever has the rights in Aus is fricking it up...
This is fact. If you can find the imported stuff in Aus its much better. Interesting too the 0% heineken in the supermarkets, the bottled stuff is import but the cans are locally brewed
>tastes like bananas
WHAT?
no it doesn't.
>tastes like bananas
literally doesnt, moron
I haven't been able to bring myself to try heineken. Too many bad memories.
"drinkable" is such a defeatist cope word, holy frick
>hey man, eatin' shit again?
>yeah man, it's edible
He's not wrong though, people eat shit. I'd personally stop hanging out with someone who eats shit but you do you
I live in a place that has better beer for cheaper. Only time I have drank it is when I haven't paid for it.
OP must be poisoned (and not with alcohol which you can imbibe in massive quantities several times a week for decades on end and feel barely any ill effects) or sth because Heineken has none of that slightly offputting banana taste. It tastes great though and is very drinkable, you can down Heinekens faster than more hoppy beers.
>bananas (which happens to be my favourite fruit)
I'm sure they are buttercup
That looks incredibly painful.
Well only because you have weak lips 🙂
NOT MY CHOICE.
Just came by to say that alchohol is for losers.
Then what's your excuse ?
quality bait op. so much seething itt
Back in my day only Black folk drank that shit.
It tastes like piss. If you want bananas, drink a hefewiezen.
It doesn't taste like bananas at all but has kind of a weird skunky taste that for some reason I enjoy a lot especially compared to most piss water from the big dawgs. If we're going big beer companies I actually go for shiner or heiny before anything else, maybe a budweiser. I've had a european beer that's supposed to be good that tasted like moldy bananas and I almost threw up though, aside from that most beer tastes alright, has a floor of like 4/10
why don't you just eat a banana?
