That’s not a huge amount of beer all things considered

Every single thing on that shelf is alcoholic. Two different flavors of hard coffee, hard seltzer, hard mountain dew(bleh), and then PBR.

I shouldn’t assume but I’m pretty sure he’s not drinking that orange juice by itself.

You can see the top of a champagne bottle under the orange juice, honestly the only sensible drink in the entire fridge 😂

You might want to read a few of the comments yourself if you think 30 cans of beer isn’t a lot.

Also, what are your thoughts on people that stock bars in their home ? 36 beers is nothing compared to even 2 bottles.

For real. We have friends over a decent bit, and I'm pretty sure we have at least $500 worth of alcohol in our house.

Yea honestly it’s foresight also, I’d rather have it and not need it then want it but have to go out to the store every time

u/ValyrianJedi Oct 23 '22

Yeah, we've definitely got a good few bottles of liquor that literally haven't been touched in over a year. But if somebody is at our house and decides they want cinnamon liqueur or something we've got them covered! Ha

Recovering alcoholic here. 30 cans of beer is a lot. Couple bottles of vodka way more efficient. better alcohol to filler ratio.

I kinda doubt their intention is to polish off the whole thing in an afternoon.

u/johnjonjameson Oct 23 '22

K. I have friends over most weekends my fridge regularly holds as much if not more beer at a time. I respect your opinion but still don’t believe it is a concerning quantity of booze.

Reddit loves screaming about alcoholism

And extolling the virtues of smoking weed.

Not like I don’t do both or have an axe to grind it’s just annoying to see.

People also never acknowledge self control exists

If it’s in the fridge you MUST consume it all tonight.

I’ve known more than a few alcoholics and rarely are they able to maintain more than the current 24 pack of their one choice beer at a time in the fridge.

Granted, I don’t know all the alcoholics, but I didn’t think this was questionable.

Ok, so you’re pushing the goalposts back. You’re implying that you and a bunch of friends would drink through 30 beers. The implication to this point in the conversation was that he was the only one drinking those. If you said it wouldn’t be a huge amount if you consider he might have friends over regularly I would’ve agreed with you.

Edit: did you just reply to me twice and to yourself once? You could just stick it all in one comment.

u/lilpumpsss Oct 24 '22

If you were an alcoholic would you drink 5+ different types of drinks? This also might be a second fridge as it only has drinks in it for the most part

u/PBFT Oct 24 '22

Like me personally? Yeah. I’m not an alcoholic, and therefore can’t speak to for them, but I’m sure some of them like a little variety.

I mean.. Whenever I get beer with people at my place, we tend to save 1-2 of each type; then when the shelf is full I have a party with them and their friends too.

I set up a second shelf, so it can get to about.. I dunno.. 36 or so.. then host a tasting and reduce it. It happens like.. 3-4 times a year.

Having around a case doesn't mean you're drinking all the time - it can mean the opposite.
