This quote in particular

"You can't create antibubbles in pure water, alcohol or oil. But beer is a special case because it is very similar to dishwashing liquid and contains surfactants which are needed to produce antibubbles."

Drinking stuff that could pass as dishwashing liquid? EW!!!! How do you guys DRINK that stuff!

/me enjoys beer.
You'll note that it's alike for the reason that it contains surfactants(a substance that alters the nature of a surface), no other reason.

I still think it is funny. Imagine running out of dishwashing detergent and pouring a bunch of beer into the sink to wash your dishes?

Might work.

Beer's alright. Though I can't drink more than a can, because then it tastes disgusting.

Depends on the beer.

So true. The ph34rs0m3 redhead swore off beer completely until she tried a sip of a first class German lager that I got at Chicago's Kriskringlemart last week.

"That's... actually pretty good."

I was so shocked I nearly collapsed in disbelief.

Or you could try not drinking beer from a can. That sometimes helps.

The only beer I've been able to finish an entire bottle of so far is a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. As beer goes, it was tolerable. One day, I'm sure I'll come across a "good" beer that might actually be enjoyable to drink, but until that time i'll stick with mixed drinks and smirnoff ice.

Note: Bud and Miller are NOT BEER. That would be like saying muddy water is soda just because it's brown. Ugh.

*cough*smirnoff ice is for chicks*cough*

Of course I'm from [Michigan]. If you don't have a brewski in your hands you might as well be wearing a dress.*

I am by no means a purist. I love beer, in all its forms. I will drink everything from Miller Lite (My utility beer of choice) to the pure bliss and joy of a good Hefeweizen (to be gently poured into a 14 oz pilsner and enjoyed at your leisure). I also like scotch whiskey rocks. Jamesons... Ahhh...

Never had beer. Don't plan to. I don't really drink either. A glass of wine if there's a bottle out, maybe. And once in a blue moon a mixed drink of some kind. But that's really about it.

Coke can corrode a nail in less than three days. And most soda (if not all, but hey, I'm not an expert) corrodes your stomach lining. Most of what we eat and drink is probably bad, so I wouldn't single out beer
