Reply to comment by capsaicinintheeyes in TIL Al Capone was only 33 when he was locked away for tax evasion and developed neurosyphilis, leading to his death at 48. Eliot Ness was 27 when he formed the Untouchables--he died in a state of financial ruin in his 50s, likely hastened by his heavy drinking in his later life by capsaicinintheeyes

A cleveland brewery, The Great Lakes Brewing Co. Has a beer named after Elliot Ness.

That was my first introduction to ABVs. Young me thought beers had a similar alcohol content. Was playing games and had a few then finally got up to go to the bathroom. Immediately fell into the door. Good stuff.

i remember wondering why i got buzzed after like two beers the first time i had 90m min IPA (coming from bud or whatever cheap beer people had at parties usually).. heard about people not being able to stand after having 2 or 3 120 min not realizing the ABV..

120 min is so good. Knew what I was doing for that one.
