Hot tubs and booze

[ISHAYKU]

Just got a tub and was looking to invite some people over this weekend for a soak.  I was looking forward to a couple of beers, bottle of wine, martini or something to break in the tub.  I have been given mixed feedback on the combined effect of hot tubs and booze.  Anybody have any experiences with this, good or bad?

Heat draws blood away from your stomach which is needed for digestion making it eaiser to make your self sick.  If 12 beers would normally get you sick, 8 or 9 will get you there in the spa. As with most things, moderation is the key.

I'm not a drinker. Never have been. But I'm curious: do people really down 12 beers?

And then jump in hot water?

If so, do they make frequent trips to the restroom, or do they just.....  

Wow. One more reason not to go in public spas.

Wow, I never realized there were people that went into their spa and DIDNT bring a drink.

Can people jump anywhere after downing 12 beers?

I think falling is more like it!

I have a brother in law whom I don't think has had less than 12 beers a night for the last 20 years.  I think he needs that many just to feel anything these days.

Sad.

You know, they say that mother's milk leads to heroin.

Twelve beers in one session?  Maybe when I was a LOT younger (and stupider), but not any more.
I find as I age, my tolerance for alcohol has gone down.
I now go for a smaller quantity of the good quality stuff.

I could down 12 American beers without blinking. The stuff is like water. 8-10 would be the max on Canadian product, although I would not normally consume more than 5-6.

Back to the topic at hand:
I like to enjoy a bevy in the tub. Like flying, drink less than normal.

What is the average % of alcohol in american beer anyway?

Between 3-4%

Between 3-4%

The last I checked when I was comparing which lite beer I wanted to drink (You've seen my pic) I found this to be accurate. I think most regular American full beers are about .25%-.5 % above the light counterpart.

[HotTubMan]

I didn't want my 500th to be abooot beer, but here goes:

Canadian standard alcohol content 5, some as high as 8 or 9%

A lite beer in Canada is >/= 4%
