3.4 Ounce Beer Mug

[retiredguy123]

Apparently, the Government is now recommending that people should limit their beer drinking to two beers per week. That is 3.4 ounces of beer per day. I like to drink my draft beer from a frosted beer mug, but I cannot find any source for a mug in that size, either online or in a bar. Does anyone know where I can buy a 3.4 ounce beer mug, or a bar where they will serve me the recommended amount of beer? Thanks for any suggestions.

[bsloan1960]

My suggestion is this: Enjoy your beer in any moderate quantity that makes you happy. I have 2 per day and this works well for me. I am unconcerned about the Government's opinion of what I do with my body. I'm retired and in my final chapter; I will not be micromanaged by Government for behaviors in moderation.

Kirk:
Captain Spock, damage report.

Spock:
Admiral, if we go "by the book". like Lieutenant Saavik, hours could seem like days.

Kirk:
I read you captain. Let's have it.

Spock:
The situation is grave, Admiral. We won't have main power for six "days". Auxiliary power has temporarily failed. Restoration may be possible, in two "days". By the book, Admiral.

It’s semantics.
Weeks feel like days. Days feel like weeks.
If you heed government policy, you are not paying attention.

I know of a few breweries that offer beer in mugs that size. It’s called the sampler platter, where you can get 6 mugs of different beers to try out. That way when you order a couple pints in frosty mugs, you can choose from your favorite samples.

Life is too short to have just a sip, if you want a beer have a beer perhaps only have it every few days.

[Rick McNealy]

There will be a point sometime in the future when I will not be drinking any beer. I'm drinking enough now so that it will average out to the recommended daily rate.

[asianthree]

I have A&W mugs that size. By a certain age stopping whatever vice you have probably won’t improve your health.

Do you have a source for that claim? Instead of claiming “the government” did it, give us a link to the agency or department or court or legislature or whatever that has done this. Or is your source some clickbait site also claiming some living actor is dead?

The source is the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) Director George Koob, who said that the U.S. may follow Canada's footsteps on alcohol guidelines. Currently, Canada recommends a limit of two drinks per week. But, please note that this thread was posted under the forum topic of "Just for Fun".

Why anyone would do what the government or their organizations suggests is beyond me. They are idiotic and have proven themselves to be useless and controlling. Use your brain!

Good for you. Two to 3 six packs a week sounds about right.

[ROCKETMAN]

This did come from our government agency because that is the recommended in Canada. I would be out of luck by 5:30 on Monday if that was the start of the week. Google it, it’s there.

Well, I am so thankful that we have the government looking out for us. How would we ever run our lives without those smart people in government assisting us with even the smallest (but quite important) decisions. I personally don't think we give them enough in the way of taxes - they deserve a raise for all the good they do for us. Now, I'm off to get my 6th booster shot. </sarc>

[Bay Kid]

Beer Shots! We had those in college during happy hour at the local bar. 10-20 in an hour.

[OhioBuckeye]

I agree & disagree with that but what about all the other things they say we shouldn’t drink or eat that we’ve heard over the years?

3.4oz? No, but I still have a 1oz souvenir mug from one particularly raucous company outing at the old "Explorer's Club" in Disney's "Pleasure Island". Unfortunately, like beer and other wonderful things we used to be able to enjoy, Pleasure Island is no more. Now it's just a shopping center for Disney swag and they call it "Disney Springs".

Kungaloosh!

Apparently? Really! What are your sources - The Daily Mail, a British tabloid or worse yet, the New York Post, a joke of a "news" source. Canada has a similar suggestion for drinking but it has to do with weight control. Post something of substance next time.

[Tvflguy]

I’ve been following this guidance even closer much of the year. My consumption of Budweiser products has been ZERO.

[Birdrm]

Two beers a week, two beers a day, Two beers and hour. If you drink enough beer it all seems to be the same time! :beer3:

I believe you have your facts mixed up, they don’t sell cans of beer with 1.7 oz. That sounds like a shot of liquor. Also, the gov’t is reviewing Canada’s recommendation of 2 cans per day, which sounds like a sensible amount to me. I mean it’s not like they are going to recommend 2 six packs.

As I understand it, the current Canada recommendation is two drinks per week, not per day. See Post No. 15.

Yep you’re right, that’s so absurd my brain wouldn’t let that properly sink in. I don’t drink but fully support the beer drinking community in speaking out against this nonsense.

Since medical costs are increasing at an unsustainable rate, it would be fiscally irresponsible and immoral if the government at a minimum did not offer science based health care advice.

Typical response: Hey give me my massively subsidized healthcare but butt out on what I eat, drink and how much I exercise.

I have my vices including alcohol and junk food because I am weak at times. But I have the self awareness to know that it has real consequences which I will eventually have to reckon with.

If you read the OP you will see that the government is "recommending" a daily intake of alcohol in this case beer. This is nothing new… There are several studies that show consumption of alcohol is not good for you. With that said there is nothing in any government document on this topic that is preventing you from doing whatever you want.:mornincoffee:

I'm sure this is meant to be a little humorous. I don't know if you're trying to poke at the government or not.
The government "recommends" lots of things that people do not do. That does not stop the government from continuing to provide information that might be helpful. It is true there are several studies out there that show the consumption of alcohol in any amount is not helpful. Humans by nature are not designed to consume alcohol....That does not stop us from doing it.

I was not poking at the Government. But, I think the recommendation to limit beer drinking to 2 beers per week is absurd. Why not just recommend not drinking at all? If everyone in The Villages adhered to the recommendation, every bar would go out of business. How many beer drinkers do you know who only drink 2 beers per week?

Keep in mind that this is the same government that set a 2000 calories a day standard for labeling. This number is based not on science as you might think. It is based on a survey. That’s right a survey. Don’t believe me, look it up.

Look on the bright side - 3.4 ounces is exactly the amount one liquid container can have in order to pass through security and take on a plane.

stop being brainwashed by the government; do they really care about you or your health? think about it.. cars, household appliances, ceiling fans ... now your beer .. really .. personally I don't drink so it doesn't affect me, really people/news media continues to lie ..

The government can lie to you like they did with vaccines and therapeutics, but sometimes they give you the straight scoop. But one thing is for sure. Big business will always lie to you if it helps their bottom line and they can bribe government officials to look the other way.

If you have a desire to find out what is best for your health it is easy enough to find out for your self. But most people don't want that facts to get in the way of their unhealthy life style choices.

3.4 ounces can be brought through TSA in your carryon luggage. You can have as many 3.4 ounces bottles that will fit in one 1 quart bag.

3.4 ounces is 7 tablespoons, rounded.

Not 6.

1 oz = 2 tbsp.

3.4 ounces is 7 tablespoons, rounded.

Technically, 3.4 ounces is 6.8 tablespoons, and say we fill them flat-and also choose to round 'down' rather than up-then we have a six pack.
Was just trying to use some literary liberties to create some excitement for those of us whose eyes light up at the mention of a 'six-pack'. Speaking of decimal pointed ounces is less likely to stir enthusiasm for the topic. Let's just tell everyone that Joe is allowing us to have a six pack a day and let it go at that. Worse things could happen (or have?).
