So before this I was at a bar where a friend of mine, a female bodybuilder, was "discovered". It looks like she'll be a professional female wrestler. They're also doing a reality TV behind-the-scenes of the new girls. The network?

I just started reading a Strindberg novel after lunch and thought of this thread. The introduction consists of him interviewing himself, in the course of which is this exchange:
Interviewer. [..] don't think you really think you should practice what you preach?
Author. That's impossible. It's true that you Christians should, but there's no reason why we heathens should. I once thought I could become a teetotaller, but I know I'm doomed to drink as long as I live because my forefathers were drinking ever since time began.

I seem to recall a scene from Georges Bernanos's Diary of a Country Priest where the doctor tells the protagonist that his problem isn't so much the alcohol that he drinks as the alcohol that was drunk for him, even before he was born.

There's a lot more session beers on tap these days but they are inexplicably still around 5%, that's not session! Well maybe it is if the IPAs are all around 6-7% now. But gimme a tasty 3.2% beer so I can drink 4-5 of them in an evening.

oddly enough I am researching the topic about the low alcohol market for an exam in June so I have been reading a lot about it.
This is a good article https://www.bonappetit.com/story/big-alcohol
and also re: some above posts:
Heineken is hoping to tap into what it believes is an increasing desire among consumers for beer that will not get them drunk. The European market for zero alcohol beer grew about 5% a year from 2010 to 2015, according to research group Canadean, while the overall beer market shrank.Rival AB InBev, which makes more than a quarter of the world's beer, is aiming to make a fifth of its beer low- or zero-alcohol by 2025. For the maker of Budweiser, Stella Artois and Corona, low means an alcohol content of up to 3.5%.- business insider

There's a couple Texas breweries that do really good ones but they're by no means easy to find on tap... Austin Beerworks' Einhorn is a 3% Berliner Weisse sour and Jester King's Petit Prince is 2.9% Belgian Saison. And of course you can always get a Radler, but it begs for a whiskey chaser.

I was gonna say move to Utah if you want 3.2% beers, but apparently their laws have changed recently?
low % beer = more calories & more $$ for same buzz vs higher %. If something is under 5% I have a hard time choosing it.

love this wiki detail:
The Spanish board of censors rejected the original ending of the film, which depicted Viridiana entering her cousin's room and slowly closing the door behind her. Consequently, a new ending was written which turned out to be more suggestive than the first — since it implied a ménage à trois among Ramona, Jorge, and Viridiana.
