Focus that energy on areas that are making people actually contentious and hateful towards each other like rampant capitalistic greed, subversion of democracy and internet grifters who manufacture hate for engagement. Talking shit about the shows we like and don't like is fun.
People have been debating their standards for media, entertainment and franchises for longer than we have written history. Literally, look up Roman graffiti. It's fine, it's fun even. If you're seeing malice and stress in these kinds of debates, you need to back away from it entirely for a bit. Just don't get involved, stay healthy.
Critique of media is so fun! It's the clannish obsession with fighting over the objectively "true" instance of a piece of media that's so tiring.
Though I agree it's small potatoes, and usually just a proxy for generational or class fielty divisions.

Yeah if you crack open the first cold one at noon when it gets hot while you're helping with some outdoors work and finish your last one at 3 AM talking shit with your friends, you probably never get drunk with those amounts. If you drink it all over 4 hours per evening, different story.
Yeah at the slow paces outside you're more likely to get dehydrated than drunk.

Idk, 10 liters of beer a day is kinda hydro tho

you mean like they ignored the part of me asking what a "star trek purist" is? maybe you can shed some light on that.
You take this shit so seriously that I think you are having some issues.
-
I love that your response to what a "star trek purist" is is a defense of bs opinions on the internet
My actual response to someone so cynical and unable to relax and banter about hobbies and fandoms is to block them. Bye.

You can get permament drunk guy syndrome/brain damage (people who look drunk even when sober) from consuming too much in a short period (chugging like crazy),
I have never heard of this in over half a century of drinking. Link or you made it up. Difficulty: no links to Mormon/religious nutcase made up shit.
I literally gave you the name for it, just put it on PubMed

Do you realize how much "too much" is in your scenario?
Like alcohol poisoning dead level. Can't walk. Can't stay awake. Can't breathe. Can't do anything.
And I've seen people like that in parties. Several times in my life, it resulted with ER visit. Said people are younger than me and already look drunk even when sober, while others who enjoy the occosional beer after work are fine their entire lives.
Did not realize how much lemmy defends alcohol, and I'm from East Europe where I've seen more than you'll ever read online.

wtf is a Star Trek "purist" and why should anyone care about your arbitrary opinion?
Burn the heretic!

you keep responding but i'm taking it seriously

NASA, with the tampons.

So what you're saying is the cooling system would in fact be OK with my 100 beer ration
Yes, but you won't be okay with the two hour treadmill sessions after drinking 100 beers.

20 beers
There's no volume stated here... is 1 beer a pint, 0.5 liters,, small bottle/can of .33 liters, 2 liter bottle.
If it's the the small bottle it's not that much
Generally most consider a "beer" 355ml (12oz us) give or take.

Edit: Why would people downvote this? I actually want to know if anyone has an idea
I don't care why people "downvoted" your post before the edit but I did it because of the edit.

if he likes shit beer, get a 12 pack, good beer, 6 pack
I remember watching the X-files sometimes in the noughties and Mulder came up with a deduction; "it must've been two men...nobody drinks two six-packs alone" and I just cracked up.
12-pack was like a medium for the night, 24 a heavier. Plus bars usually. (Finn here.)

0.33 in Nordics. Then also 0.4, common bar serving, and 0.5l can and full pint, 0.568l cans.
But "a beer" in the Nordics would generally be 0.33 from a can and 0.4l from a tap

Edgy. I like it.

This isn't about "defending" anything. Alcohol is a dangerous substance. And most people here know that.
That said your level of fear mongering is extreme to say the least. You sound like someone telling everyone not to go within 1km of an ankle deep pond because they'll drown.
While possible in both cases to get permanent brain damage or drown. It is extremely unlikely on a winning a large lotto level.
Almost all people will pass out or start throwing up, long before they get near that level. Especially if they are not already an alcoholic with huge tolerance.
Source: 20 year hard core binge drinking alcoholic (20-30 drinks a day or more). That has been in the hospital 6 times for withdraw myself. And in rehab multiple times with large groups of other extreme alcoholics...
Edit: I strongly suspect most (if not all) those you thought had that condition were actually under the influence. Daily drinking alcoholics are extremely good at both hiding it ( oh I have to go to the bathroom) and lying about. They will tell you straight to your face they haven't had a drink in weeks after you just caught them drinking a beer.

Which is why I said give or take

Yup. It is indeed. I just wanted to add info.
Sometimes I seem sodas in 0.355 cans, mostly red bull. Somewhat uncommon size here imo, and I'm just wondering where theyre used. 0.355 seems like a US size, but the bottles I got from Germany were mostly 0.33l aa well. Although the cans were like 0.6l
Just wondering how prevalent and mismatched the standards are

Also, alcoholics are real. My dad used to go through a 24 a day just to maintain. The liquor on top of that was to actually feel intoxicated.
