It’s St. Patrick’s Day again, and once again Americans have an excuse to drink way more than is considered socially acceptable. Although I’m not a real heavy drinker, I’m going to celebrate my partially Irish heritage with an infographic.
This infographic comes to us from our friends at Visual.ly as a public service to all you party animals out there. It lists all the various beers by alcohol content, in descending order.
Another surprsiing finding: the “craft” beers score lower on alcohol content, Like Sam Adams Boston Lager, Widmer (I’m in Oregon, can’t leave that one out), and Sierra Nevada Porter . Since they’re intended to be enjoyed slowly rather than being slammed down, I guess they make up for it by actually tasting good. Sam Adams Cream Stout is dead last at just under .03 percent alcohol by volume.
Whatever you’re drinking, we want you to have a safe holiday, so drink in moderation (yeah, right) or pace yourself, at least. Definitely plan on having someone else take you home, or take the bus, or just stagger home and sit down to a heaping plate of corned beef and cabbage, if you can keep it down after all that booze.
