Well, i'm a minor with extremely catholic parents that prevent me from drinking beer (Even though my stepdad loves that stuff). What does beer taste like? Does it taste like sparkling water?

Used to be every Summer school's out and a host of Nazis invaded NSG, now I notice the general proliferation of posters who can't contribute to a thread without spouting off on Islamic law.. frankly it's utterly irrelevant conversation.

Having one's opinion entirely defined by a religion isn't an opinion at all. Why comment in a thread about beer to tell us something everyone and their mother knows.

Anyway, back to beer..

Yep. It truly does seem like the evolution of NS summer is irrelevant Islam posts.

Back to beer, how much did you drink to notice effects to your weight? I drink fairly often an I don't notice a thing, though I am in my mid 20s.


Well I think you can probably drink more in your 20's because you're more active and your metabolism doesn't slow down, which it does from about 30 onwards.

By this I'm not encouraging those in their 20's to get their fill in quick before their metabolism slows..

EDIT: Actually I checked back on that claim..

Here's the good news: The rate at which your metabolism slows down is actually rather minimal. In reality, most weight gain that happens in midlife isn't the result of a slower metabolism at all.

Instead, it comes down to a simple but changeable truth: As we get older, we get less and less active.


Perhaps..

Well, beer is kinda my one extravagance, foodwise. Otherwise, carbohydrates are few and far between. That's probably a big factor.

I'll take your "not advice" and drink it up. ;) :p

That's good. Minors shouldn't drink.

Beer is hard to describe to someone who hasn't tasted it....hmmm.....have you had kombucha? It's somewhat similar. It's bitter, usually, though some are kinda sweet. There's a mouthfeel kind of thing, too, like some feel like drinking cream and others seem very dry.

Yeah. It's a Haraam substance that can lead to addiction. It clouds one's judgement and makes one do things they wouldn't normally do. In Al-Islam prayer is not accepted from a Muslim for 40 days (https://sunnah.com/nasai/51/132) and the punishment for drunkenness is 40 lashes (https://sunnah.com/bukhari/86/5). Whoever is addicted to drinking in this dunya (world) will not have any of it in Jannah (https://sunnah.com/nasai/51/136 Heaven - yes, there's non-alcoholic beer/wine/etc in Jannah). Beer and all other forms of khamr (intoxicants) are signs of straying from Allah SWT and towards ShayTaan (Satan).
Anybody who says that I support non-Islamic slavery, persecution of non-Muslims, rape, domestic violence, terrorism, pedophilia, killing homosexuals, hating Jews, etc is lying.

Let’s set aside the semantics here. You always post about how sinful we are, and how glorious El-Islam is. You know what would make me more likely to not find your religion ridiculous, and make your pointless proselytizing in every thread more likely to work? Posting less often about this menial bullshit.
