Is beer the only alcoholic drink that gives you a beer gut?

Or is there more to it such as the food that you may eat while drinking beer? Some people crave fattening food after drinking a six pack or two.





Is there other alcoholic drinks that does not give you a pot belly?|||A beer gut isn't the result of drinking a lot of beer. It comes from eating and drinking without excercising. THose who drinki a six pack a day generally don't excercise much.





It's a coincidence.|||I rather thing beer is about the only one that does and can give the Pot Bellys. How ever it's the amount one drinks that gives the Belly.


Also one tends to feel extremely hungary because of it as well.


It's one of the most easiest of alcoholic drinks.|||Absolutely not|||I'm afraid that the "beer gut" you are referring to does not only occur in people that drink large quantities of beer. It will occur in anyone that consumes more calories than their body needs. There are tons of people who don't drink at all that have a "beer gut" just from eating too many calories or drinking to many sodas.





However, those individuals who drink lots of beer are most likely going to have a beer gut, because beer contains a plethora of calories.

Anyone have a recipe for gluten free beer bread?

I just picked up some gluten free beer at the supermarket made by AB. God bless them! Very good stuff. Now I want to try making beer bread with it. Since I've been diagnosed with celiac, I can't use regulour wheat flour. Can anyone help?|||Found this recipe and tried it today. It works!





Gluten Free Beer Bread





Combine in a large bowl:





3 cups gluten free flour*





3 tablespoons sugar





3陆 teaspoons baking powder





1陆 teaspoons xanthan gum





1 teaspoon salt











Add to large bowl and stir well:





2 eggs, lightly beaten





1 gluten free beer (12 oz.)





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour batter into a greased or parchment lined loaf pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Yield: one robust loaf








*A combination of gluten-free flours usually gives the best result. Pick up a ready to use flour blend like Bob's Red Mill or use your favorite all-purpose mix. Keep it basic with a rice flour blend (2 cups brown rice flour, 3/4 cup potato starch, 1/4 cup tapioca starch) or spice it up with some mesquite meal. Great with gluten free oat flour, too.|||Here's the recipe:





3 cups flour (I used 2 cups of Bob's Red Mill Homemade Wonderful gluten-free Bread Mix and 1 cup of white rice flour)


3 teas. baking powder (omit if using self rising flour)


1 teas. salt (omit if using self rising flour)


1/4 cup sugar


1 12 oz can beer (I used lemon lime soda instead)


1/2 cup melted butter (I used clarified butter)





1. Preheat oven to 375


2. Mix dry ingredients and soda


3. Pour into greased loaf pan.


4. Pour melted butter over top.


5. Bake about 55 minutes, remove from pan and let cool at least 15 minutes.





Do not add yeast to this. No kneading required.





If anyone has a better substitiute for the rice flour let me know. I think maybe 3 cups of the Homemade Wonderful bread mix might make a better loaf. I bought it because it already has the Xanthan Gum in it (didn't want to pay $11. for a bag of that! )





If you want to make this with regular flour and beer, there's a recipe on allrecipes.com that is really good (look for the recipe with 5 stars).|||Beer Batter Bread Gluten-Free





Recipe





1 cup oat flour


1 cup millet flour


1 cup sorgham flour


1 Tb granulated sugar


1 tsp salt


1 Tb baking powder


14 ounces GF beer or 12 oz beer %26amp; 2 oz water


1 1/4 kuzu powder dissolved in the 2 oz of water


Optional Egg Glaze: 1 beaten egg %26amp; 2 tsp water





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 4 x 8 loaf pan with parchment paper. Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add the dissolved kuzu and water to the beer. Then pour both liquids into the dry ingredients. Stir only enough to blend and lumps are okay. The batter will be thick. Pour into parchment lined pan and bake for approximately 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.





This bread is better to eat within the first couple of days. After the third day the after taste becomes stronger until it is almost as strong as the aged Emmenthaler cheese.

Should Obama have a beer conference to stop the bickering and bring the country together?

He's been compared to Lincoln, who was president of ALL the people and brought us together.





The cities of L.A., San Francisco, and even the state of Calif are planning to boycott for ideological reasons, the state of Arizona. Should Obama have a beer conference to minimize the differences, or will he play the partisan politician, take advantage of a crisis, and push for even more division?|||obama is the worst thing to happen in America, cant wait for 2012 or even before|||No and...ummm...Lincoln kept the country together through reluctant use of force. Bad comparison.|||Wouldn't his resignation from office be easier?|||Actually he should do what Lincoln did, let them fight it out.|||Boycott only hurts the innocent wage-earner and also the deceived myrmidons that carry out instruction of the evils that hate America! I will hazard a guess that Obama will stall on giving his take on it until he determines the momentum it gains or loses!|||I prefer he keep his mouth shut. Every time he talks he stirs up trouble, or it costs me money.|||Obama WANTS to divide us. Look at how things are out of control. He is instigating it.|||Why not? The first beer summit was the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Might as well have another one since the first one went so well.

What is the average price for a beer in a pub in America and what size is the beer?

As I'm in Melbourne, Australia. Can you specify if your prices are in US dollars?





At pubs in Melbourne the beer is roughly $US2.70 for a 275ml glass.|||Man, those people answering this question above have no idea what a real beer is. $2 US dollars for piss water in a small town, but if you are headed to a major city (New York, Chicago, LA) and want a decent beer, its around $5-$7 a pint.|||IN THE PUB BEER COST $1.00 FOR A MUG ON TAP IN HAPPY HOUR. ABOUT $I.50 TO $2.00 A MUG AFTER HAPPY HOUR|||for a 20 oz mug it is roughly $3 unless you go during happy hour then they can be as low as a dollar a mug cheers i live near washington dc|||At my yacht club we charge $1.50 for a 12 oz can of Bud, $1.75 for a 12 oz bottle of Bud, $3.00 for 12oz Heineken,


or other non domestic beers. We are in Brooklyn, New York.|||well around here it is anywhere from $2-$4 depending on where you go for a 12 oz. bottle.|||2 bucks a bottle depending on the bar. Yes we call them bars not pubs...not trying to sound mean but if i ever go to melbourne i will call them pubs.|||A pint at a restaurant will cost about $2. Bottle about $2.50 unless imported about $3.50. Prices per bottle at a cluib is about $3 and at a strip club is like $7.|||I m not sure what it is since i don't live in america and even if I did I wouldn't go to pubs and drink beer, man.

How many pints of beer should a pitcher pour?

Assuming standard sized American bar pitcher, how many ounces or pints of beer does it hold? 5 pints to a pitcher? A pint is larger than a 12 oz can/bottle right?





Sometimes it pays to do the math when comparing prices at a bar.|||The standard bar pitcher is 64 ounces, which would give you 4 pints of beer, but this is not always the standard. Some bars have gone with a 60 oz, down to a 48 oz pitcher, yet it still looks like a full standard pitcher. Ask the bartender what size pitchers they use to determine which would be the better deal.|||4 or 5|||These are the capacities of barware (filled to the ''brim'').





Standard beer glass - 10 ounces


http://www.acemart.com/merchant.mv?Scree鈥?/a>





Standard mug - 10 ounces


http://www.acemart.com/merchant.mv?Scree鈥?/a>





A standard ''shot'' is 1 1/2 ounces, this one holds 1/2 that (7/8 of an ounce).


http://www.acemart.com/merchant.mv?Scree鈥?/a>





You complain, so the barmaid fills one of these babies. You still get cheated (1 ounce).


http://www.acemart.com/merchant.mv?Scree鈥?/a>





''Hourglass Pint''. Not quite, only holds 15 ounces at the brim (a pint is 16 ounces).


http://www.acemart.com/merchant.mv?Scree鈥?/a>





''Large Mug'', it's all glass. Holds 12 ounces.


http://www.acemart.com/merchant.mv?Scree鈥?/a>





And the pitcher, some places sell it as a half gallon, not a chance. All of these hold 60 ounces. That's 5 12 ounce beers, 1 short of a six pack.


http://www.acemart.com/merchant.mv?Scree鈥?/a>





http://www.acemart.com/merchant.mv?Scree鈥?/a>|||I think about 4 pints.|||4-5 depending on your pour. Remember, contrary to what most people believe a little head on your beer is a good thing. It prevent the oxygen from getting at it and changing the taste.|||A pint is 16 ounces. But you don't usually get a full pint in a bar. With the head, you'll get about 14.5 ounces.





My experience is that a pitcher holds about 4 3/4 12 ounce glasses, which would be about 3,6 pints.

How long will beer last in a can?

I have a small collection of unopened 'collector' beer that intend to keep for a very long time. How long will it last inside the can before the can will begin to detoriate and leek beer? Obviously were talking about a standard tin can here filled with beer.|||Depends on the alcohol level. Most beers above 8% mellow and improve with age. (the flavors blend) 3.25-6% are meant to be drank fresh.





Personally I would not drink a can of " standard 5% " beer that was older then 2 years and generally 1 year is the max. It will not leak for at least 20 years and likely 75.|||Most mass-produced beer is intended to be consumed fresh. There is usually a freshness date somewhere on the can. After the freshness date, the beer's flavor will start to deteriorate within a few months. It will not be dangerous to drink, but it will taste like wet cardboard. Yuck.|||Leek? I hope the beer lasts longer than your brain cells. LEAK is the word. A leek is a vegetable belonging to the onion family.|||Drink it now! However, there is a date on it! Other than that, 6 months if it's kept in a cool place .....but I've drunk a can after 6 years ....it was 'orrid!|||I never drink beer in cans. The beer is all right but the air fare to Cannes is too expensive.|||Call the 800 number and ask there reseach depts. If you decide to pour it out it makes good lawn food. *mamatx

What happens to a beer when the expiration date passes?

I know it has a different taste but I want to know what actually becomes wrong with the beer.|||the dates on beer is NOT an expiriation date





there are 2 dates common on alcoholic beverages:


born on dates, which is the date they are bottled


and "freshness dates" which is the date they put on for distribution and sales reasons





its a way for manufacturers to move product off retail shelves, and make sure retailers get rid of the older stuff 1st.





technically speaking most beer brewers belive the optimum age of a beer is to consume within 6 months of bottling... after that the taste might not be quite a fresh, but still is consumable. there are beers people find that are hundreds of years old and drinkable.|||Nothing really, it just gets old over time. You can drink beer that's past the expiration date, which is why some just do "born on" dates.....it doesn't really matter.|||nothing as long as you haven't opened it. it might begin to lose it's carbonation.|||probably the alcohol goes rotten|||skunkorama
