If he were drinking non-alcoholic beer, yes. This is probably a better comparison to the mask situation going on.
- eurasiantiger 5y agoNon-alcoholic beer is still a psychoactive drug due to all the psychoactive flavonoids and especially the heterocyclic aromatic amines present in all boiled mash beverages.

- eurasiantiger 5y agoLook it up, because it checks out. ”Flavonoids” and ”heterocyclic aromatic amines” are groups of chemicals, which both contain some chemicals that act as MAO-A and MAO-B inhibitors in the human CNS, causing attentional, cognitive, emotional and behavioral changes.

- eurasiantiger 5y agoSure, especially if you make a habit out of it and pair it with a stimulant, like nicotine or caffeine, which both are routinely consumed with large amounts of MAOIs (which are found in both tobacco smoke and brewed coffee). For an especially interesting evening, search ”monoamine oxidase” in the publicized tobacco industry documents: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/tobacco/results/#q=%22Monoamine%20oxidase%22%20OR%20maoi%20OR%20%22mao-a%22%20OR%20%22maoa%22%20OR%20%22mao-b%22%20OR%20%22maob%22&h=%7B%22hideDuplicates%22%3Atrue%2C%22hideFolders%22%3Atrue%7D&subsite=tobacco&cache=true&count=37132J https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/tobacco/results/#q=%2...
