5/4 (a little late, sorry!)

[doublesmall]

hey, extremely important question for all you science-minded folks on here.

from what I'm reading it's a pretty damn bad idea to make a pool out of most liquors but it seems like beer is probably fine, please confirm/deny

follow-up question: would other types be safe if you diluted them?

not positive I want to trust doctor google on this so all expert opinions are welcome. I know I'm not the only one who's wanted to do this shit, so help me make some dreams come true, here.

What did google say about champagne, though?

[now he's curious too??]

[doublesmall]

probably too strong, at least on its own

the jury is out on dilution so far

[thesettingsun]

I am not a science person but please, please live the dream.

[doublesmall]

believe me I am TRYING

this is gonna work one way or another

[adoringpast]

You don't need anyone's opinion to know that this is a bad idea to begin with.

[doublesmall]

I'm sure a lot of other great ideas sounded bad to begin with, too

[parodeity]

this sounds like an absolutely terrible idea
report back with the results once you do it

[doublesmall]

what kind of person do you take me for?

of course I will

[vendettastool]

Since there are products out there made from beer that's used to make your hair and skin clean, go on ahead, try it out.

Just don't forget your safety buddy because drowning is kinda painful.

[doublesmall]

I mean yeah but you also don't usually submerge yourself in those

probably fine but a little extra confirmation never hurts

[biellmann]

[ why are you all like this ]

You better not be doing what I think you're doing. Respectfully. Boss.

[arahoushi]

don't be too mad at him, it was zoro's idea first

and i definitely did not encourage him to do it

[doublesmall]

what, getting information to make sure it's safe?

I could've just gone ahead and done it, you know

[sakeplz]

...it seems so mean to the alcohol to dilute it.

[doublesmall]

yeah it really does, trust me, it pains me too

but at least it's not a huge amount, considering, you know.

the whole tiny business.

[esperimental]

That is a stupid dream.

[doublesmall]

at least it's an achievable dream

that's more than a lot of people can say, you know

[arahoushi]

is this really happening boss? are we really making this happen?

this is gonna be so great

[doublesmall]

WE'RE MAKING THIS SHIT HAPPEN.

[accordance]

Please do not do this.

You run a real risk of setting yourself on fire.

[doublesmall]

no heat sources nearby, already took care of that. hard enough to do our jobs already without the extra hazard of shit like candles, yeah?

I'm more concerned about alcohol absorption right now

[true_noir]

You are thinking about swimming in alcohol? I suppose this is perhaps a colorful way to die and have your body be found. As others have said, though, I would not suggest this.

[stopbleeding]

this is theft.

[arahoushi]

nah it's okay it's okay
we get to do this that's the important part

[originallutece]

Science nothing; I should worry about health issues. Good god, who on earth wants to drink something they swim in?

That being said . . . I should think other types would be fine regardless of diluting, so long as a person made sure they didn't swallow any. You can drink at this size; it just needs to be a drop or two, that's all.

[doublesmall]

oh no, no drinking allowed, this is purely for the experience. you're right, that's gross.

thanks for the input, though, way more helpful than just 'that's a stupid plan'

[rednerd]

Let's just say, scientifically, it'd suck.
Alcohol has a lighter density than water, so you wouldn't be able to float even holding your breath.
The next day, the papers would read ALCOHOLIC DROWNS IN POOL OF ALCOHOL TO NO SURPRISE.
Also, the fumes from the fermentation would choke you, and then you'd get inhalation issues.

We'll just agree not to discuss what the alcohol would do to the thinner membranes of skin on your body. Like the groin and the anus. The rest of your skin would start drying out, like you got dunked in a giant astringent bottle.

Overall, 0/10 would not recommend.
But please record your experiment, though, for future study.

[doublesmall]

holy shit

okay, doctor google did NOT mention the drying out part, that's horrifying but still kind of fascinating

lower alcohol content should have less of those issues though, right? or should I dilute the beer too.

[wordcarvings]

[ God what are you doing? ]

Chuuya, be careful.

[doublesmall]

I'm always careful, Koutarou

[that's a damn lie.]

don't worry about me.
