Title: Optimum beer level in AH
Post by: phatzo on November 16, 2008, 11:57:31 PM
Hello fellow virtual pilots

As I'm a bit of a noob here I was just wondering what the optimum amount of Beer was for flying. Usually I like to get home for work, crack two beers, complain that I cook all the friggin time and go drink another 6 to 8 beers while flying. My performance level varies greatly through this time. Being Australian I would like to think that I have a good tolerance for beer and was wondering how the rest of you go after a few. Do you get belligerant or uncoordinated, how does it affect your game.

That's a good number, I'm about the same.

I don't do it all the time but it certainly helps for friendly DA sessions.

Usually start with 3 or 4, if Friday or Saturday, then what's in the beer drawer is the limit, if a work day, I try to stop before 10.

The problem usually with scenarios and Finns is, that while we wait (excessive amounts of time) for lift off, all Finns usually drink all their beer on tower and whine about not having any beer left when we finally get in air  :devil

On Friday Night I usually wait till about 10PM to start because of FSO.

I try to make sure by Roll I have had only a few. But after the event starts the beer starts to flow like...well...beer.

I love Friday Nights.

  I like to have six throughout the evening.  They are 24oz's so I nurse them a little.  My flying may be a little impaired, but I never get belidurount with anyone.  I do, however, come up with some interesting scenerios that I really wouldn't have thought of stone sober. 

<S> good question

my dogfighting skills improve with each beer up to 3 beers, after which there is a sharp decline.. 

After about 6 I am relegated to flying bombers due to degraded motor skills and frequent pee breaks.

Jarbo on the other hand... will hammer em down and fly the jug untill he can no longer remember how to start the engine.  Its hard to watch, actually no, its hilarious to watch.  the conversations on VOX are something to behold aswell.

well, everybody has thier tolerance so there is no set #, so just keep putting them down until you 'think' doing better.

If I feel like drinkin' it's usually a shot of knob creek on ice, or an ice cold Premium.   Usually yields positive results :)
