I know. That is why the law is archaic. Beer is diluted to remove .8% of abw. I guess it makes the puritans feel as if they're doing something. Meanwhile, by the time you mix a rum and coke, you have about 12% alcohol, 20% if you mix it really stiff.There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. -

From the Miller-Coors FAQ
How is the alcohol content in beer measured?
Alcohol content in beer is typically measured in one of two ways: by volume (which is most common) or by weight. Using Coors as an example: A 12-ounce serving contains 5.0 percent alcohol by volume which means that of all the liquid in the container, 5.0 percent of the liquid is alcohol. The same 12-oz. serving of Coors Light is about 4.0 percent alcohol by weight, which means that of the total weight of the liquid in the container, 4.0 percent of the weight is contributed by the alcohol.
Sounds simple, but if we're talking about the exact same serving of beer, why the difference between volume and weight measurements? That's because a given volume of alcohol weighs less than the same volume of water. (An ethyl alcohol molecule, or C2H5OH, is larger than a molecule of water, or H2O, and takes up more space.) So whatever the serving size, the alcohol weight percentage will always be smaller than the volume percentage. This basic fact should help dispel any myth about 3.2 beers or so-called "near-beers" allegedly containing much less alcohol compared to regular beers. The "3.2" in 3.2 beers represents the percentage of alcohol by weight, which means that there's about 4 percent alcohol by volume in the beer. Anyone who believes that he or she cannot become intoxicated consuming 3.2 beer is just plain wrong. If you know of anyone who's a believer in the 3.2 beer "myth," do him or her a favor and share the facts.

You would be wrong. While alcohol is generally measured abv, 3.2 beer is measured abw. Like I've said, archaic law, makes little difference but the 3.2 beer gets more water.Originally posted by Zardoz View Post

The 3 different tour guides I had (on 3 different trips to the tourney) looked at me like they had no clue about different alcohol contents and simply said, "we just make one beer here."Comment

Had you visited the reception/tasting room before the tours???Originally posted by ShauXTyme View Post"I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet.
