5/4 (a little late, sorry!)

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.

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.

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.

Marginally less, I guess.
It's probably still going to sting pretty bad when you go for a dunk.
