    Jfc why does Lemmy hate beer so much? I guess it’s because many Lemmings are socially isolated, giving them fewer positive associations from using alcohol in a social context within their own lives. But maybe the international users are also a factor; people of European extraction are significant outliers compared to the rest of the world when it comes to beer consumption.

      I’m Canadian, I like beer… we all like beer here. Like what else are you going to drink, water? Gross.

        That’s fine but there are several commenters who immediately attacked the girl who is drinking a beer. Maybe it’s more of a thing about women, actually. I just felt like the hostility was unexpected and was trying to understand why

          It’s actually pretty funny because the first comment I saw here was warning about how misogynistic the other comments are. Curious, I sorted by controversial only to find the most controversial comment is about beer hahaha

            Yeah, when I made that comment no one had even mentioned misogyny or the anti-beer crowd, so I felt the need to ask why people were being weird. I’m not really sure why my comment is downvoted, but such is life.

      I didn’t know it was a general opinion on here lol, I don’t like beer either , it just tastes like liquid bread and even though I love bread the liquid version feels wrong, I like something fruity like a mojito or a cocktail! Generally though I don’t drink alcohol.

      Are they stupid? You can just buy rings at a jewellery store you don’t need to be married to wear rings. They legally cannot forbid you from buying a gold ring if your not married

      What if… What if they were told this is what they should want and that’s the goal to get a ring and a man and then their life would be complete.

      People can be convinced of anything.

    Looks to me like she didn’t know what else to do in the picture so she’d take a sip then 🤔

      Or they all collectively thought this was hilarious and set it up. Why would three friends line up to take a coordinated ring-shot with their friend who isn’t engaged?

      For real. Disappointing to see all the weird misogyny & judgements on these random woman.

      Even the ones being positive towards one of the women only do so by putting down the other woman.

    Where my beer nerds at.

    Can we ID that label?

    Looks ballast point-y. Given general sales and color… Is that a sculpin? Perhaps grapefruit?

    That’s my vote

    Edit: yeah it’s gotta be sculpin. Diagonal fat orange-ish fish. I see enough pink to presume grapefruit and not regular or habanero…

      Real beer nerds wouldn’t admit to knowing what a Ballast Point looks like since they got bought out by AB like 10 years ago.

        Real beer nerds would know they got bought by Constellation (Corona, Pacifico) not AB InBev.

        Real beer nerds would also know that Constellation sold them to a group of Brewers (Kings Convicts) in Chicago 5 years ago.

        Grapefruit scuplin came before the buyout. So there’d be no shame in recognizing this era of their branding even if you were right.

        Don’t try to out beer-nerd me, Holmes! Homie don’t play 🤓
