I appreciate your kind words, but I’m sorry to say that the answer to your question is quite straightforward. Flat beer, just like any other beer, will still get you drunk if it has an alcohol content.
The alcohol content in beer is determined during the fermentation process. Yeast consumes the sugars in the beer and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide as byproducts. Once fermentation is complete, the alcohol level in the beer remains constant unless it is intentionally altered through processes such as distillation.
Whether the beer is flat or carbonated does not affect its alcohol content. The carbonation in beer primarily comes from the carbon dioxide produced during fermentation, which is then dissolved in the liquid. The presence or absence of carbonation does not change the alcohol content.
That being said, the taste and overall experience of drinking flat beer might be different from that of carbonated beer. The carbonation in beer contributes to its mouthfeel and can enhance the sensory experience. Flat beer may feel less refreshing and have a different texture, but it will still contain the same amount of alcohol.
It’s worth noting that some beer styles, such as certain Belgian ales or lambics, intentionally have lower carbonation levels compared to other styles. This is part of their traditional brewing process and does not affect their alcohol content or ability to get you drunk.
The alcohol content of beer remains the same whether it is flat or carbonated. So, if you’re looking to get drunk, the flatness of the beer won’t hinder that. However, keep in mind that responsible consumption is always advised, and moderation is key.
