There is absolutely no way an aussie is sending that shit back hahaha

I know my Countrymen. And I lived in Queensland for a year.

You get exactly ONE guess as to what will happen when the average 18-25 year old Aussie learns there's "excess alcohol" in Watermelon flavored "beer".

Additional prediction, there will be a mid-scale tiktok trend of these idiots chugging it within days.

Corey Wotherington could make a comeback, lol

I will dispose of it by pouring it out ... and into a glass.

...and the buying frenzy begins.

Wait a second

Best marketing ploy since the Y2K bug was "invented"

Company: "Send it back, its got too much alcohol in it."

Purchasers: "....No?"

Purchasers: here’s the empty containers. It was too dangerous to keep around. We poured it out.

Executive meeting over at Shock Top: "Guys, I think I know how we can ship this"

Watermelon flavored alcohol is bad . I leaned my lesson can’t taste the booze in it and drank way too much . Nothing like being puking drunk and not being coherent

Meh, I've had a few high-alcohol beers and to me the excessive alcohol "taste" (or whatever you want to call the alcohol sensation on the tongue and mouth) ruins the beer taste. But that's just me. Although it's not just the alcohol, because I like hard liquor.

Give me 9% or below in beer. I've had the Troegs Mad Elf (11%) and it was "ok" but I quickly tired of it. I've had a couple 12 or 13% beers that were not enjoyable at all.

>Countrymen. And I lived in Queensland

I see what you did there.

Joking aside, marketing alcohol to minors is terrible

"Poured it out into our bellies!" you mean?

The legal drinking age in Australia is 18. No one is talking about minors here.

That bug was real. The panic about it that ensued was engineered, though, as software engineers already had a solution and were well on their way to implementing it.

The US news scared people unnecessarily, but a good portion of the public weren't scared about this. Stations made it seem like the world was going to end like they were some kind of doomsday prophet.

In the end, the day came, the day went, and the world moved on.

My mistake. I live in the States and forgot 21 isn't the worldwide drinking age

Australia has fallen. Thoughts and prayers.

Insane How ”taking a shot” has widely different meanings for 18 year olds in different places ;)

No worries m8, we'll take care of it

Wait for 1/19/2038 or the 2/7/2106 bug!

Alcohol percentage labeling is kinda BS. I've had so many beers in the last few years that were labeled at 8% or so, but from mouth feel tasted more in the 11-14% range.

Back in my first year at university (more like college for the anglo-american model), I had a chemistry prof who always liked to tease the local newspaper.

One day, he published a press release that he had found ethanol in the beer of local breweries.

The PR guy of one of said breweries had apparently flunked chemistry at school and immediately issued a denial.

beer = alcohol

Popular beer = excess alcohol

Quick, tell Gerard Butler so he can make a movie about it.

So how much alcohol was in them?

Nope, was too dangerous. Half a percent over would mean adding a cup of ice for every twelve pack or so. Well, much less than that, but danger.
