Next weekend I think I'm just going to die of alcohol poisoning

[Andrewr05]

So next Saturday there is a big Beer festival in Brattleboro,VT (right near where i used to live, minutes from my parents place) and I'm absolutely definitely going.

 

The thing is look at the incredible awesomeness of breweries that will be attending:

That is almost unfair, I love good beer and I'd love to try one of all of those.

 

Of course that brings up a few issues:

• Going broke from buying what will probably be ~$4-5 a glass of beer
• Going broke from buying a crapload of stupid knick-nacks, glassware, merchandise, et cetera
  
• Getting shitfaced and doing something extremely ignorant/foolish/illegal/"wrong" in public
  
• Dying of alcohol poisoning

 

 

What to do? What to do?

 

 

The event is only 5 hours long, some of these beers are quite a high alcohol content too.

 

 

I suppose I could only have half a pint of each (not literally each due to the lack of monetary sustenance and the fact that I don't like some beers) and then only be partially alcohol poisoned by 5pm.

 

 

Hmmm...

What if you don't go?

boo, no Wisconsin Breweries. Ive tried a few of those breweries brews before they are alright. I am not really a fan of heavy beers rich in alcohol, to me a beer should be refreshing, and not heavy.

 

If you do come across any breweries from Wisconsin I highly suggest you try some of these if they are there.

Why not try something more productive, but remember this, what you really think about can actually occur. Even if you do go, why not balance everything out? Why would you go broke from buying all of those things they showcase behind glass windows, or beer after beer, you should by now know how much you can actually drink and from each can you can actually see the difference in your thinking, reasoning, gudging, speech, attitude, mood, and such. Think about it...

[Andrewr05]

I was kind of being sarcastic, I'm definitely going but there is just going to be so much good beer there that I may NEVER get to drink again due to the limited availability.


I'm like a 6 beer queer though, especially with like 11%+ beers.

Then leave your cash cards at home and take a fixed amount of cash only

....that would be very sad...

drinking is not mandatory andrew B:)

[dr_bowtie]

Agreed...

 

although you probably wont die of alcohol poisoning....if you get it...you WILL wish you were dead...

 

do as others said..take limited cash and learn moderation....

 

take it from an X-Heavy drinker who has had Alcohol poisoning on several occasions...and Diabetes on top of that....

 

just be cool....moderate man moderate...

sip and savor

[Andrewr05]

I know I already said this but I was being sarcastic guys, I had already planned on bringing cash only and trying small samples vs. whole pints of beer at a time.

 

 

 

I can't wait to try some of the rarer stuff, depending on how with festival goes (this is the first year) I may not ever get to try any of these brews again.

[Onion]

Good idea on that small samples thing, if you're trying them a pint at a time, you're gonna be so wasted that you'll need to taste the first ones again lol.

 

Oh and drink a blue moon for me.
