Father Daughter Pub Time

I read this and it made me laugh.  Hope it brightens your day too!

I was reading an article last night about fathers and daughters and memories came flooding back of the time I took my daughter out for her first pint.

Off we went to our local pub which is only two blocks from the house. I got her a Fosters. She didn't like it...so I had it.

Then I got her a Carling Black Label, she didn't like it... so I had it.

It was the same with the 1664 Lager and Premium Dry Cider. By the time we got down to the Scotch I could hardly push the stroller back home.

How To Drink All Night Without Getting Drunk - Test Results

Back in April, I posted an article about how Jim Koch drinks, but doesn't get drunk called How To Drink All Night Without Getting Drunk.  He uses yeast.  I have seen a couple of articles where people tested using yeast to see if prevented getting drunk or at least lowered blood alcohol. This particular article was sent to me and I will show it because it has nice graphs!

Alcohol Test: Does Eating Yeast Keep You From Getting Drunk?

I think the best line in the article is: "To be fair, Koch never claimed this is for everyone. "I can't say it works for everybody. It works for me," he tells us."  True dat!

In the testing, the one method that did have an effect was to drink 32 ounces of water between each alcoholic drink.  As they noted, that is a lot of water to drink.  But it is easier to do than plan how much you will drink and eat the appropriate amount of yeast, plus, you can almost always get water where you drink ... unless you drink in really bad dive bars.
