Well, I guess we now have some uncomfortable insight into your home life...

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.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 months ago (3 children)

They're Australian so I'm pretty sure they mean a 20- or 24- pack, something like this:

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's exactly what I mean down to the beer and all hahaha

[–] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Can't say no to a tinnie of VB!

That's the type of bottle. If you're in the other hemisphere you might have seen Red Stripe in stubbies.

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good point. I never think of those because we use bulky reusable plastic crates where I live.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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 330mL or 440mL cans.

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.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Besides size, that looks of tolerance is exactly the insight. It doesn't come from birth.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don't know how much faster it gets, but consuming alcohol increases the expression of alcohol dehydrogenase, so you metabolise it faster.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You don't think people have different metabolic tolerance and processing rates?

🤯

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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".

[–] CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Okay, I guess I'm a super hero and so is the rest of my family 🤷‍♂️

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I guess you and your family have practice.

[–] CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, that's the entire fucking point 🤦‍♂️. Just absolutely peak Reddit shit.
