Why does every tech conference site have to mention drinking beers? I like beer as much as the next guy, which is kind of the problem. It sorta seems like conferences feel like they gotta bro it up.
- wyager 12y agoProbably because they want to demonstrate that they're fun. >conferences feel like they gotta bro it up. It's not like women don't like beer.
- jorjordandan 12y agoSo why not say 'have a few glasses of wine'? Guys like wine.
- eli_gottlieb 12y agoWomen can be bros. People where I went to school called female bros "biddies", IIRC.
- NotOscarWilde 12y agoI think it could also be related to Czech Republic being the #1 country in terms of beer consumption per capita [1]. It's definitely a national drink there.

- jorjordandan 12y agoFair enough. I would definitely drink some beer if I went there. Some of my favourite beers are czech.
- jkot 12y agoTo be fair there are many tourists coming to Prague just to drink. And we usually drink low-alcohol beer, 10 degree beer has ~3% alcohol content. And finally hard alcohol is less popular. Actual alcohol consumption is not that high. But yes, in pub water is often more expensive than beer.
