Dumb question

Bottle conditioned ales with no preservatives.

Are these hard to find? Do you think they serve them at places like Shooters and Kenny's Keg?

I see a trailer park in your future....

Look for some Belgian beers.

LMAO!!

Is that a joke? Is Belgian the brand?

Belgian as in, beers from Belgium.

The thinking, I believe is much like a previous poster; most Belgian beers sold in the US are bottle-conditioned beers (i.e., yeast remains in the bottle and is allowed to continue to process the sugars and so forth). The yeast is a source of some B vitamins which can be lost from the bloodstream while drinking heavily.

But if you're going to "get blasted" with a girl who's a "lush in training," chances are you're not going to be looking for beers with flavor. All I could recommend for you is to stay with the most flavorless beer you can find.

American malt liquors tend to get fusel-alcoholy and will give you a massive headache. Acetaldehyde, such as is found in Budweiser and Bud Light, in addition to giving off that "pleasant" green-apple aroma can contribute to headaches in my experience.

The two of you should probably stick to Coors Light. Alternatively, have you considered those big jugs of Gallo white or pink "wine"?

It wasn't a joke. You might want to look at a map of Europe. That is, assuming you know what and where Europe is. If you think Belgian is a brand, I despair for the state of American (or whatever nationality you are) education.

You might also consider that there are simple ways of preventing or at least minimizing hangovers. For instance, after every couple of beers, drink a glass of water. Wouldn't hurt if one of those glasses had a packet of a vitamin-complex/electrolyte powder, like "Emergen-C," dissolved in it.

As far as beers less likely to result in head-pounding hangovers, choose quality every time. German and Czech Pilsners, for instance, or American craft beers. Since you didn't bother with petty details like your general geographical location, there's no obvious way to deduce what might be available to you. Are you pretty new to Usenet, too?

Good luck.

Thanks! I do like Coors Light. I find it goes down without much fuss. I don't want you thinking that I have any intentions on this girl -she's my brother's daughter, after all! It's her friend Shelly that I need to keep my wits about.

I'm not much of a wine drinker but I'll try it. Does the white taste more or less like grapes than the red?

Thanks man. One question though: What the F is Czech?! Why do you ask if I'm new to Usenet? I mean, I am but does it show that much?

Bah. You're no less likely to get hung over from those beers as you are Coors Light. Believe me, I know. It's not like I haven't put those beers to the test on many occasions.

The only beers that are more likely to cause bad hangover effects are beers high in fusels (like malt liquors or a lot of quality Belgian beers - so much for that theory that "quality every time" is going to keep the hangover demons at bay) or acetaldehyde, which a lot of people react very poorly to and is very much present in Bud (but not Bud Light).

Beyond that, for the most part, alcohol is alcohol, and you're going to get hung over pretty good if you're drinking 15 Pilsner Urquells just as well as you're going to get hung over drinking 15 MGDs.

Pilsner Urquells

The kid from Family Matters has his own line of beer? Now I've seen everything.

Hello!

Just to keep it correct: The former Czecheslovakia divided in 1993 into Czech and Slovakia. So Czech was not used to be called so but was a part of it!

Prost,

Ok. I thought the other guy's explanation was wrong. Thanks. Do you have to order this stuff from Checkloslavakia? I looked at the Food Lion and they didn't have any. Is Newcastle close? I saw that there. I think that's from Europe too.

Okay, fine. You're a troll. Hope you got your jollies. Now, buh-bye!

Where are you going? I'm hanging out here!

He didn't know what Belgian meant either, so I wouldn't bother with the geography lesson.

ayup, the Pilsner Urquell comment sealed it for me.

Hmmm. Doesn't "Chouffe" translate to troll in Wallonian French?
