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!"

I tried to start that movement, but soon everyone was at lagerheads.

the bathroom is where you return your rented beer

>> Two researchers conducted an experiment in their bathroom

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

What do you call insulated beverage sleeves?

[Rob the Bold]

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.

Or you could, you know, just drink it before it's old enough to buy its own beer.

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!

Only with American beer

This happens only with American beer, in the rest of the world the temperature raises only by five degrees

Re: wait, will wiping off help?

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.

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

And because also, if you distill the water first, you pretty much have pure hydrogen dioxide

Ummm, I'd think very carefully about drinking that...
