idk, doesn’t seem that crazy to me. if you don’t drink or are a small person with a small tolerance, you might have no idea how many beers a person who drinks more might get through per night. don’t want to underdo it and have them run out, don’t want to overdo it and make them feel like you think they’re a crazy alcoholic. and then obviously add a little d r a m a to it cause it’s a tweet :)
I mean if I wouldn’t drink, I just wouldn’t buy no alcohol at all. And if I would, I’d just buy twice the amount I drink if I don’t know any better about the person.
I don’t drink, I’m always confused when hosting about the amount and type of beer I should buy. And then I’m stuck with beer afterwards the inevitably goes bad. Now I just let people BYOB because they typically did that regardless.
I don’t drink either and used to be in a club where I had to work a bar once a year. And every year without fail, I had to re-learn even just the basic categories of beer.
(Where I live, there’s like 7 different words to describe 4 different popular categories.)
It’s fairly well answered by basic information about alcohol serving sizes, DUI limits, and just the amount of fluids someone can take in over an evening. 1 can of beer = 1 basic dose of alcohol. 2 in an hour puts you over the legal limit for blood alcohol for driving. Someone could typically drink maybe a gallon of fluids in an evening regardless of what it is. Beer is sold in packs of 4-12, which are usually shared. So a normal amount of beer to get for someone who isn’t a regular alcoholic would be 2-6 for a night. It also varies with their weight and the strength of the beer (most is about 5% now but some is higher).
How could an adult actually be confused about this?

Going to BYOB is the right call. Good on you for focusing on your strengths.

I grew up Mormon, and am only now figuring this all out. I have no idea about any of this
