    Do you think that if you leave a can of this out in the cold for the night, and it freezes and then defrosts by midday next morning, that its alcohol content would have diluted and not be as strong as it was before it froze?

    Depends.
    How many of these cans have you already drank?

    That would be an ecumenical matter.

    No, but if it freezes (not fully) and u strain out the alchool and drink that ya'll have a great laugh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,880 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    lulz... silly question is silly but then the OP already has some crazy ideas about water and wine etc :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke


    Where do you think the alcohol is going to go in a sealed can?

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Hey Bud, I think you need to get a little wiser

    You're a sealed system.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 528 ✭✭✭Jake Rugby Walrus666


    Below -6○ the Budweisser molecule denatures and fuses with Hop ions to form new Carlsburg compounds. This is fairly stable unless you were to add TIME -which is only found in Bulmers though.

    Will the can be open outside in the rain first before the freeze comes?

    Even if its sealed, the freezing process may have some effect on its quality, probably marginal difference. Although in the case of a can of Budweiser it might make it taste like a fine Belgian brew


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭areyawell


    The alcohol mysteriously disappears from the can when it is left outside to freeze and then for some unknown reason it then gets absorbed through your testicles and into your blood stream. Science is unable to explain it. Leave 12 cans to freeze outside and you'll be legless as soon as they freeze!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭Onesimus


    For example when we freeze milk after it defrosts it is never the same but is very watery. Alcohol can be diluted because like milk, the freezing process ( I think ) does something to dilute it.

    Its just something I was thinking about.

    you're using thinking loosely...

    I think you need to go look at what dilution means.

    I can think of better things to do with a can of Bud, like pouring it down the toilet.

    Also, as mentioned several times already, check up about diluting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭Onesimus


    I did and all the sites say that water can dilute alcohol and weaken its strength. But I've yet to look up that whole freezing process.

    I see you believe in religion*.

    It's god turning alcohol into water because he doesn't want you drinking.


    *It's now obvious why

    Maybe it's just a miraculous changing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭Onesimus


    ok so no it does not effect the alcohol content but beer would probably be flat in most cases.

    Thank you for all the lovely off topic and nasty references to my religion. I feel really welcome here in Ireland by the welcoming Irish people, tolerant of everyone. You are all so kind and lovely.

    I'm not Irish, and still have no time for non-sense (if it's not even funny).

    A less shockingly stupid question (and if ever anyone says to you, there are no stupid questions, I suggest you offer this as a counter-example) would be, why does freezing cause fizzy liquids to go flat?


    Oh, and it might have less alcohol after freezing if the can bursts and liquid escapes (not dilution, of course).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 Gaynna


    Unlike water, which freezes at 0*C, beer freezes at -1.7*C , but considering it's Budweiser, it's manly water you're freezing anyway.

    You failed science in school didnt you.

    You can't just state a temperature that beer freezez at, it depends of a few factors, mainly (but not exclusively) the alcohol content. It's also colder than -1.7.

    Anyway, I have a slightly related question:

    If it takes two men four hours to dig half a hole, how long does it take a spider wearing boxing gloves to pull a thorn out of a frog's arse?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,438 ✭✭✭TwoShedsJackson


    Why not ask the Lord what happens? If he is a just God, you will get a reply.

    No shocker that someone religious is useless when it comes to science, I suppose.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Rasheed


    Ah lads. He asked a (kinda stupid) question, you gave him some witty answers. No need to be ridiculing his beliefs.

    Believe in God, don't talk to people? :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Rasheed

    So every question that a person of religion has, should just ask their deity?

    'What time is Eastenders at Pat?'

    'I don't know, why don't you ask Allah, Mohammed, ET?'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    Next person to bring up the OP's religion gets a nice, long ban. It's got nothing to do with the thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭scamalert


    when alcohol is frozen the water separates from it,tho making alcohol stronger,but in a sealed container,you wouldn't be able to take the ice out,also you need higher temperature then -2 more like -20,and end up with bursted can.On the other note Budweiser is a product that americans invented when washing barrels of beer and then diluting it with water and piss :pac:

    Budweiser tastes like Andrews Liver Salts. There is literally no difference, taste wise.

    Put the beer back in the freezer and go out and buy yourself nice booze!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,671 ✭✭✭BraziliaNZ


    Budweiser, Ireland's national drink, is it true that there's more of it consumed than Guinness? Don't like the taste of it myself but where I'm from everyone drinks it.

    Great input, thanks for that. It's up there with Guinness though usually, at least it used to be.

    Ah here, he has to be trolling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭noxqs


    * Drinks do not go flat when frozen in a sealed system if thawed to full before opening. A system will always try to reach equilibrium and as such the CO2 will be moved to equal distribution as it was before. You wouldn't notice any change.

    * Most compounds in beer are not affected by freezing just below zero - taste wise you should not notice a difference. This may differ depending on beer type and I will volunteer as a taste tester should a study be setup for this.

    * Frozen milk will separate the lipids in the milk from the water, making it clump, this doesn't dilute anything - it merely concentrates certain compounds in the milk as freezing breaks the homogenization.
