Plane
 
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.

So just switch to wine, or maybe mixed drinks!

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.
A change in Guidance was mentioned. These would be only suggestions, ie recommendations. They are not mandates.

Don't like the information? Attack the source...

You do realize that 3.4 ounces is 6 rounded tablespoons? Could this be the new six-pack? Remember to pace yourself though.

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.

funny, it is a recommendation.
I was thinking...have you ever seen a really in shape person who drinks beer all the time?

I haven't

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.

Bud Light is still the most popular beer in The Villages.

3.4 ounces is 7 tablespoons, rounded.

Not 6.

1 oz = 2 tbsp.

I can’t believe how many people took this post seriously. It appears sense of humor is lost as we age, so thankfully I’m 70 years young and haven’t lost mine yet. LOL!

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?).
