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.
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.
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.
It’s an average. For anyone sipping 1 beer an hour, other people will get through at least 2 or 3.
And with the light beers most of them drink they might as well be drinking water at that rate
Find out what (or if they drink) first!

Can someone explain NASA and the tampons
To be fair to NASA, sometimes shit goes sideways and astronauts have to stay in space way longer than expected.
Then they asked the wrong question.
Redundancy is one of their policies, and this is a big reason why.
Besides that though, even between women there’s a wide variety of menstrual products. What size? Maybe she uses pads or cups instead? How frequently each individual needs them varies too. Even if you’re a guy who is familiar with purchasing these for your girlfriend/wife/daughter you would still want to ask if you were in this sort of situation.
This is such a good point. Now I’m wondering if the menstrual cup works in space, since it can be reused essentially forever, but it needs gravity to work I think…
100% this, it’s not even weird.
7 days, let’s say it’s really, really heavy, and you could be looking at using 3 in a day (21).
Double that, because you’re in fucking space, you can’t just pop out for another pack (42).
Now, you’re the first woman in space - does anyone know how periods work without gravity? Double it again (84).
And just round it off to because you can’t buy packs that size (90-100)
Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman in space, Sally Ride was just the first American woman in space, but she didn’t really share her menstrual experience.

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.
As a guy I would bring my own beer because Ben if it was enough it would 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.
I’ve taken to bringing pre-mixed cocktails. Turns out, there are people who don’t always have ice at home …
I never have ice at home. My fridge can do that, but I don’t ever use ice*, and my drinking water is already RO so no need to muck up a very expensive fridge filter every few months for no reason.
* I use ice for making beer, but it’s an entire 5-gallon bucket frozen solid, usually just thrown outside overnight in winter.
Where I live, ice cubes are made by filling an ice cube tray with water and putting it into the freezer.
I mean I have that option as well, but I don’t use ice, so I don’t waste the freezer space, especially when that freezer space is already consumed by the built-in ice maker that isn’t hooked up to a water line, even tho I could easily feed the RO tank to it.
I do use ice trays for freezing milk before it goes bad, or leftover coffee for making iced coffee, but that’s about it. I have some really nice silicone honeycomb trays that have silicone lids, so perfect for milk and coffee, which typically don’t get used right away.

Per sitting.
Well, I guess we now have some uncomfortable insight into your home life…
Or they are just able to tolerate more and are bigger than you.
I’ve drank a 6 pack of 10% and blown a .06 in 2 hours.
Besides size, that looks of tolerance is exactly the insight. It doesn’t come from birth.
It does come from birth though? Genetics play a huge part role in alcohol processing
Practice doesn’t make you metabolize the alcohol much faster, it makes you better at functioning at a higher BAC, it increases tolerance not metabolism
I don’t know how much faster it gets, but consuming alcohol increases the expression of alcohol dehydrogenase, so you metabolise it faster.
Yeah, obviously. Do you think your body is at maximum alcohol detox levels at all times? Of course not, that’s one part of the detox pathway that fires up when you start drinking
How long do you think enzymes stick around? Do you think they pile up?
Their expression is generally linked to presence of a trigger and limited by their byproducts. So you’ll produce more of them when exposed to alcohol, then max out based on how quickly the byproducts can be moved
Again, how quickly you process alcohol is mostly genetics
K
You don’t think people have different metabolic tolerance and processing rates?
🤯
They do, but nobody’s sinking 210ml of pure ethanol and blowing that low without either being the size of a house or putting in some serious practice. That’s the same as drinking 2 entire bottles of wine in 2 hours.
It’s the practice they were talking about with “insight”.
Okay, I guess I’m a super hero and so is the rest of my family 🤷♂️
Carton a day on holidays
I know you mean like a six-pack of beer cans but for a moment I had the mental image of beer sold in tetra-paks and I really don’t want to know what kind of unholy concoction would warrant that kind of packaging.
They’re Australian so I’m pretty sure they mean a 20- or 24- pack, something like this:
Good point. I never think of those because we use bulky reusable plastic crates where I live.
Yeah, in NZ we often use reusable wooden 12 pack crates of 745mL (a bit over 26 Oz) reusable bottles, but we also have the corrugated cardboard boxes of 20-24 330mL or 440mL cans.
“stubbies” lol
That’s exactly what I mean down to the beer and all hahaha
Can’t say no to a tinnie of VB!
Finns be like “one of us!” (internally, of course).
Though IDK, they might prefer spirits.
100 to be safe
In case he brings his “best buds” entourage with him?
Or just brings some determination
In reference to the Nasa part or the drinking beer part?
yes.
just don’t get them mixed up
Six pack
Friend status revoked
Why do you want to be drinking more than 6 beers in a session anyway :(
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
A lot of people get a lower tolerance once they get older, though.
The thing about drinking is drink rarely but when u do drink to get completely hammered
Is fun
Can’t they just…wear a diaper?
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.
Linguistically, idioms can take on a meaning separate from its constituent parts, in a way that people can forget about the constituent parts but still understand the word or phrase.
The word “goodbye” derives from “God be with ye” and eventually morphed into the word we know now. The definition of the word “odyssey” derives from a Green myth but has a standalone definition that is understood by people who aren’t familiar with the myth. A ton of other words come from horse racing (“from scratch,” “across the board,” “hands down,” “frontrunner”) and maritime stuff (“groggy,” “show someone the ropes,” “even keeled,”). We draw on shared stories (ancient myths, folklore, the Bible, even classic and modern literature) for much of our vocabulary.
We shouldn’t be surprised by language arising out of modern movies and television shows, or even shared internet memes enter the common lexicon.
if you pay attention, lots of words are metaphors.
i work at a people people i eat bread with, God be with you
i work at a company, goodbye
Smells like toast
