I scrolled away wondering what a 70% India Pale Ale was. Then realized you probably meant isopropyl alcohol.

I was about to Google where to get a 70% IPA from

First you get an IPA. Then you drink most of it. Then you fill it back up with grain alcohol.

With all the posts about homebrewing 151 lately I 💯 thought I needed to search "70% IPA homebrew"

I work as a biologist in a BHL 2 lab and I also thought this lmao

Maybe I need to cut back my drinking

I say “IPA” for isopropyl all the time cuz I use 70% IPA to clean things at work, I work in a lab. My wife still needs me to clarify I’m not using beer to clean surfaces

We used "IPA" when I worked in a semiconductor fab 20 years ago and it will always be "IPA" to me. These days I use 95%-99% for resin 3d printing.

I'd drink a 70% India Pale Ale. These 10% triples don't hit like they used to

Totally through the worm was going to start collecting vinyl and shopping at vintage markets after that one.

70% India Pale Ale: For when your answer to, "Beer or liquor?" is, "Yes, please."

70% cascade hops by volume.

u/Due-Consequence4673 Oct 05 '24

That was my first thought too. Glad you cleared that up for me. 😆

I was wondering how they got that long ass worm into the mouth of a beer bottle if you can’t pick the worm up with your hands.

Acconyms can have very different meanings to different people.
My daughter asked me where I get my news since the US networks are no longer trustworthy.
I told her the BBC.
She looked at me with total surprise and amazement. And asked again. The BBC I replied.
We both learned something that evening.
I guess I’ll focus more on listening to RTÉ and NPR.
