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.
>>20431605>perfectly drinkable5% of the liquid in that bottle is a literal poison.
>>20431622Poison is drinkable
>>20431658In the sense that it won't kill you as immediately and obviously as a gram of cyanide, sure.
>>20431605Any alcohol that tastes like bananas was fermented wrong, you're supposed to toss it
>>20431673>Any alcohol [...] you're supposed to toss itAgreed, so long as it can't also be used for cleaning and disinfecting.
>>20431683Fair enoughOP you can buy this but you're gonna need a still to use it
>>20431683I've drunk rubbing alcohol when I ran out of drinking alcohol before:-)
>>20431694Can you still see?
>>20431717Just about
>>20431605Yeah drinkable to kids, then you learn better and move on. It's like some novelty, like the Beatles or some shit.
>>20431605Is 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.
>>20431881Not 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.
>>20431881Hipster faggots have to pretend they hate it so they can pretend to like obscure IPAs and hard ciders as a surrogate for having a personality
It's better than the bottom tier. I wouldn't turn down a free Heineken, but I would never buy a pack again.
Never seen anyone who wasn't a nigger order a heineken at a bar or strip club.
>>20431889>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
>>20431901Not too far up from bottom tier but pretty close.
Heineken is badass, though if Blue Moon is available I'll probably get it most of the time.
>>20431605Actual overhated beer
>>20431881Green bottle beer is always unpopular
>>20431622So? Ultraviolet rays are known to cause cancer yet I still go outside into the sunlight.
>>20432065Show me the life-sustaining vitamin ethanol helps your body produce, then we'll talk.
>>20432188it helps my body produce don't-freeze-up-and-turn-glassy-eyed-and-panicky-around-other-people vitamin
Hate waiting for your beer to turn skunky? Try Heineken! Skunky from the start!
>>20432188Going 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 efficiencyI don't see you strictly consuming Calorie-Mate and multivitamin pills.
>>20432188>then we'll talkI'd prefer we didn't, you seem an insufferable fag.
>>20431622>this alcoholic beverage has alcohol in it?!>OH MY GOD HOW WILL I EVER RECOVER
>>20434088Every time someone says that to me about my refusal of ethanol, I take it as a compliment.>>20434149Literal poison, yes.
>>20431622Paracelsus 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.
>>20431622>>20434325are you the ESL that's been seething in every thread that mentions alcohol the past couple weeks?
>>20432239why is this? it's not the green bottles, because canned heineken is just as bad (if not worse)
>>20434725>the does makes the poisonYes, being regularly exposed to small amounts of mercury over a long period of time is perfectly harmless, I'm sure.>>20434733You must be thinking about someone else, because I'm no ESL.
>>20434933>doesYes, that is embarrassing of me. How kind of you to notice.
>>20432011I 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.
>>20432065thats why i dont go outside but drink lots of beer
>>20431605I've never had a Heineken that wasn't skunked to high heaven.Green bottles were a mistake.
>>20434325Nobody says that to you about your refusal of ethanol, they say it to you about your being an insufferable fag.
>>20435149And that opinion ultimately stems from my refusal of ethanol, so once again, I'll take that as a compliment.
>>20431605>and is better than most macro beersAlmost got me there. Quality bait
>>20431605let'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
>>20431605>tastes like bananaswhat bananas have you been eating?
>>20431605It'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.
>>20435230The 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.
>>20431605>tastes like bananasAussie 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 fucking it up...
>>20431605that's my favorite beer...
>>20432251Just as a small fact. Methanol gets oxidized to formaldehyde that's why you die or go blind.
>>20435301And ethanol reacts to the proteins in your cells, causing them (and you) to die.
>>20435320give it up ESL you are so incredibly needy
>>20435339I'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.
>>20435111Checked, it ain't the bottles, Yuengling is just fine (and they even have screw tops)Some people just like skunky swill, I guess
>>20431605>tastes like bananasWHAT?no it doesn't.
>>20431605>tastes like bananasliterally doesnt, retard
>>20435301>>20435320Not my problem
>>20435239yeah that banana didnt actually go extinct. go be a retard elsewhere
>>20435363Answer this ESL>>20432204What about the social aspect?
>>20435576lil nigga got butthurt by a tame joke.
>>20435363Yeah sorry holmes nobody types like that unless they’re autistic or trying to shack up with their english teacher in highschool
>>20435566Good, you don't consume ethanol.I refuse to call it simply "drinking.">>20435582>What about the social aspect?What about the social aspect of going to a crack house or an opium den?>>20435597Why? I'm not the OP of this thread.>>20435619Whatever's funnier to you. English is still my first and only language, whatever the fuck that has to do with the topic.
>>20431605I haven't been able to bring myself to try heineken. Too many bad memories.
>>20435756You should meet my cousin ricky, he’s hilarious after a couple tall boyz.
>>20435975I 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.
>>20435981Im sorry I dont actually have a cousin rick but try and lighten up like him.
>>20436018Well, now that I know he doesn't exist, I will, in fact, lighten up "like him."
>>20435266This 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
>>20431670It's still perfectly drinkable. Why are you so desperate to be right?
"drinkable" is such a defeatist cope word, holy fuck>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
>>20434933>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>perfectlyand 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.
>>20436038You'll stop existing too? Excellent decision.
>>20431673That's wrong - a lot of perfectly made hefeweizens taste like bananas.
>>20431605I live in a place that has better beer for cheaper. Only time I have drank it is when I haven't paid for it.
>>20436142Again, yes, in the sense that the damage to your brain and body isn't immediately obvious. To you, at least.
>>20437091Alcohol in low concentration is good for your health. Not my fault you have bigger genes and can't stop drinking unless he goes full retard.
>>20431605OP 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.
>>20437093>Alcohol in low concentration is good for your healthHow low? Parts per million?>Not my fault youStop. This isn't a "me" thing, this is universal. Even moderate "drinking" has been linked to deformations in the brain.
>>20431673some whiskys get that but it goes away with barrel aging
>>20431605>bananas (which happens to be my favourite fruit)I'm sure they are buttercup
Just came by to say that alchohol is for losers.
>>20437179Then what's your excuse ?
>>20437091>Again, yesOkay cool, thanks for agreeing
quality bait op. so much seething itt
>>20431901That's good advertising
>>20431622They make the only good 0% that I've tasted. I like the taste of beer so it's my go-to
>>20437141Less 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.
>>20432011The 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.
>>20431605Back in my day only niggers drank that shit.
>>20437167That looks incredibly painful.
>>20439151Well only because you have weak lips :-)
>>20437747>You shouldn't drink until about 25And yet, the "legal" age for pouring disinfectant down your throat is 21. Funny, that...>Same with potIn that both should be treated as they were at the peak of their enforcement? Agreed.
>>20439276>Doesn't dispute the less than an ounce claim or expand on his moderate consumption claimGenelet btfo
>>20431605It tastes like piss. If you want bananas, drink a hefewiezen.
>>20431605It 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
>>20431605why don't you just eat a banana?
>>20439151NOT MY CHOICE.
>>20439959I find that debating drunk "science" tends to lead to a "playing chess with a pigeon" phenomenon.
