Depends if it's piss-water or a quality stout or IPA.

  A six pack of piss-water is still 12 units of alcohol, definitely far above what one should regularly consume if you want to minimize health risks: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/alcohol-support/calculating-alcohol-units/ https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/alcohol-support/calculating-alc... My whole life I’ve been watching the “safe” amount of alcohol go down and down, study after study. The idea of casually drinking multiple beers after work every day is crazy to me.

    Oh if we're talking about health, it's a whole other question. I was just looking at the effects of alcohol consumption. Drinking a six pack of anything every night is likely the sign you are an alcoholic.

  Despite not being a beer drinker, this feels like the right time to mention BrewDog and their ongoing battle to sell the strongest beer in the world. I first heard of this with Tactical Nuclear Penguin (32%); their latest HD Strength In Numbers, which is 57.8%. https://www.brewdog.com/eu_en/brewdog-vs-schorschbrau-strength-in-numbers-eu https://www.brewdog.com/eu_en/brewdog-vs-schorschbrau-streng...

    I feel like they "cold brewing" process they use(at least that was what they were doing a few years ago when I read up on it) has more in common to distillation than finding high ABV tolerant yeast strains and actually brewing high gravity beer. I have taken apple cider and done a similar process to make Applejack. Its just a matter of freezing out the water/other non alcohol components. I mean, its interesting and all, but I dont really feel like its beer at that point.
