Condensation On Your Beer != Good
An anonymous reader writes "Turns out that condensation on your favorite chilled beverage is a bad thing for keeping it cold. Two researchers conducted an experiment in their bathroom proving that condensation can raise the temperature of your beer by nine degrees!"
Save the ales!

A lot of my stories that end with "and then we were both grounded for a month" start that way too.

But there is an easy solution to this problem: mist the outside of your beer glass with cold water.
Seriously? Sure, and assuming a spherical cow....
While on a float trip in Arkansas many years ago, a friend in a bikini offered me a titty. Shock turned to disappointment when I learned that in parts of the South Central US, those foam beverage sleeves are known as "Tiddies" for the Texas-based manufacturer of such foam-rubber products. But my beer did stay colder longer, so it wasn't a total loss.
I am not a crackpot.
Or you could, you know, just drink it before it's old enough to buy its own beer.
Violence is like duct tape. If it doesn't solve the problem, you didn't use enough.
And yet you felt compelled to post. What's that about?
Stuff that doesn't interest me happens all the time. If I had the same compunction to comment on all of them I'd never get anything done.
Or is this another case of Area Man Constantly Mentioning He Doesn't Own a Television?

Yep, keep it in a cold dark place. England!
This happens only with American beer, in the rest of the world the temperature raises only by five degrees
In the time it has taken you guys to debate this, I drank three beers. Fast enough that there was no time for condensation to take place.
But carry on with your theories. I salute you.
A man walks into a bar and orders three beers.
The bartender brings him the three beers, and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third, until they're gone.
He then orders three more and the bartender says, "Sir, I know you like them cold, so you can start with one, and I'll bring you a fresh one as soon as you're low."
The man says, "You don't understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the Ireland. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night, we'd still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three beers, too, and we're drinking together."
The bartender thinks it's a wonderful tradition, and every week he sets up the guy's three beers. Then one week, the man comes in and orders only two. He drinks them and then orders two more. The bartender says sadly, "Knowing your tradition, I'd just like to just say that I'm sorry you've lost a brother."
The man replies, "Oh, my brothers are fine -- I just quit drinking."

They debated for 20 minutes and you posted at 11 AM on a Thursday.

It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Ummm, I'd think very carefully about drinking that...
What part of "a well regulated militia" do you not understand?
