That's exactly what I was thinking

There's definitely a case to be made for this sort of thing

What I might do tommorow when I go out is have a glass of water between my pints

Have not tried that before

Yeah see if it works or maybe a stronger lager might help you slow down

Have you ever alternated your alcoholic drinks with water?


Also why would a stronger lager slow me down

Because it's stronger so it might affect you quicker so you won't need as much. I dunno it was just a thought

And no I've never alternated alcohol with water. I do drink pop through when I go out because I get bored of alcohol sometimes and pops way cheaper

Drinking water with alcohol does prevent a hangover which is a positive


Actually instead of water I could alternate with shandy (Alcohol/lemonade)

If they're mixed 50/50 you'd end up with about 2% alcohol.

I don't think pop would provide any benefit because it also dehydrates you.

I never alternate water with booze, but I've never needed to.

Mixed with 3.5 % beer it would be even less right?

Yes, if you're mixing booze with not-booze in a 50/50 ratio, the end result will always have half as much alcohol.
~1.75% if it's 3.5% to start.

So a pint of shandy is like drinking half a pint of bud light?
