As a guy I would bring my own beer because even if it was enough it wouldn’t be the right kind unless the host and I shared tastes.
And a bottle of liquor because I couldn’t bring a lot of beer without intimating my mistrust of the host by bringing my own beer in the first place.
Edit: Also, if I was going somewhere I’d offer to bring all of the beer, and include a wide range and enough of what I like for everyone to leave satisfied.
And some liquor.
Bacchus is lord.
Heh. 27, the very age I decided there was one drink I would never drink any more… the next one. (Went t-total.)
Ive been sober 6.5 years now and have never looked back. Good on you, im proud of you.
Life’s better. It’s not hard. There’s only that one drink I don’t have any more. Easy. Easier, cheaper, feels better, better health… it’s no great accomplishment. Never really liked the stuff in the first place. No more social calamities, is a nice bonus.

In case he brings his “best buds” entourage with him?
Or just brings some determination
Are we talking 12 oz Bud Light bottles or half-liter Doppelbock?
If it’s the latter, 4 are enough for a weekend.
If it’s the former, that number is 0.Removed by mod

maybe this is why we hit devices when they stop working. it’s an instinct from the future
As someone who has utterly useless prophetic dreams I like to call it information backflow. Also for context to what I mean by useless I mean shit like watching a car get dragged out of a ditch, novel situations that are utterly mundane. It’s either that or like me hitting my nuts while playing EUV.
i think i once had a dream(?) about my friend telling me about the plot of Madagascar 3, no details but the overall theme and general events. i later asked that friend if she remembered that happening, and she told me she never did that. so i’m guessing it was a dream?
truly extraordinarily useful information, not “hey kid invest in bitcoin” (it was in like 2008, right after the release of Madagascar 2) not “did you know, all those feeling you’re feeling is gender dysphoria? you’re trans” not even a “when you grow up you’ll be lactose intolerant, it’ll take you years to connect the fatigue to the fact you had too much diary that day” but the plot of Madagascar 3. my brain looked into the future, and the only thing worth knowing was that
Turns out the gift of prophecy is utterly mundane and largely useless. I do have some things that I think are amongst said dreams but given the general vibe of that type of shit I’m gonna keep quiet lest I undo their truths. Though I actually fucking hate the implications of them because it means I have some level of positive fame and I do not want that.
Thats sort of what’s being done with ayauasca and other psychedelic drugs. Like a medication hammer that knocks you silly and resets your brain.

DMT is short, like 20 minutes tops, and won’t make you physically sick. I actually like it during shrooms the best. If you try it, make sure you’re lying down.
From what I understand of ayahuasca they throw all kinds of shit in there from psychoactives to others. I’ve never tried it. So be careful. It will make you physically sick and it lasts a long time.
I think this was a discworld joke. Retro phrenology or something.
I think this is more like percussive maintenance
Percussive maintenance is really just short, fast, and localized instances of turning it off and on again.

Wish it worked on my ADHD, I want to try deep brain electrical stimulation thing see if it helps
My brain was still processing the NASA story from the previous comment thread, while reading your comment. Processing the brand and sizes while relating to tampon was a surprising train of toughts.
I love bud light!
It’s great for watering plants.
¿REVA QUE?
It is amazing to me that the Internet has taken a shine to that particular episode of TNG it’s just so esoteric and yet generally people get the joke.
I mean don’t get me wrong it was a good episode but in terms of the the entire series it was very mid.
It basically predicted the socio-communicative function of memes, so it tracks that it became a meme itself.
I would add that what OP stated is built into the reason as well. It’s an okay episode, the main problem being that you had to accept the ridiculous premise of talking entirely in memes. Fast forward a decade and the joke very much is that it’s not as ridiculous as it first seemed.

Why do you want to be drinking more than 6 beers in a session anyway :(
Is fun
Might depend on how long the session is. Now that I’m older a session might be a full day of hanging out, 6+ hours. When I was in college there was a time or two of a more literal full day, 24+ hours
Find out what (or if they drink) first!
There’s a easy rule. Allow ~ 45 min per beer and think how long the meeting will last. Most will actually not drink that much, but it’s good to have spare ones.
Do Americans really drink that slowly?
I’d say 2-3 per hour to begin with, but probably slow down around hour 6. For a weekend? At least 24, and probably want a bit of variety of styles in there too.
And with the light beers most of them drink they might as well be drinking water at that rate
We really got the range here, so a “beer drinker” and a “beer drinker” are the same when it’s a 3.5%abv vs 14%abv. Not to mention non-alchohalic that’s becoming more common
It’s an average. For anyone sipping 1 beer an hour, other people will get through at least 2 or 3.
45 minutes??? Is this some rest-of-the-world thing I’m too Balkan to understand?
Well, I don’t know about Balkans, but at least for me, a half-liter beer of any kind takes 30–45 minutes. Stouts and porters are too thick to drink faster, ales too bitter etc. A light lager may be, but why bother?
45 minutes per beer? You won’t be able to play Wizard Staff at that rate.
Can’t they just…wear a diaper?
In reference to the Nasa part or the drinking beer part?
yes.
just don’t get them mixed up
It’s great to be prepared… But I don’t think you have to prepare a stash sufficient for an alcoholic.
For anybody new to this, perhaps assume 3-4 standard drinks/person, plus some factor to account for surprise extra guests, and then add a buffer of 20% or so of your good alcohol
Then it never hurts to have a 12 or 24 pack in the bottom of the fridge of something cheaper.
Lol that’s pretty much what i figured as a calculation. Not that I ever have many guests but do a guess then add a case/flat … Mean if was my beer I’d drink it time and not have less just in case… More guests would require the cheap beer as a backup for sure.
if you pay attention, lots of words are metaphors.
