    It’s just old fashioned terminology. 4% was the strength of a standard bitter or lager, round about 5% a premium bitter or lager.

    The UK doesn’t use the term “light beer”, so you can probably just think of it as being the equivalent to that distinction.

    Obviously there are some wildly strong craft beers out there these days, but the lingo still is what it is.

    It’s not really a thing. ADHD is usually medicated with stimulants, not depressants. Counterintuitively, ADHD brains suffer from a lack of sensitivity to dopamine and similar chemicals, and stimulants flood the brain with these giving ADHD people an experience closer to neurotypical.

    Alcohol as a depressant does the exact opposite thing that an ADHD brain needs, and will make core symptoms worse.

    There’s no legal minimum age, but some retailers voluntarily limit sales of high-caffeine drinks to under 16s.

    UK retailers also mostly operate a “challenge 25” policy, which means for any age-restricted items (alcohol, tobacco, blades etc.) with an 18 or 16 limit they ask for ID from anyone who looks under 25, to make sure they’re catching people who look old for their age.


  • It was an old truism on Reddit that you could avoid 99% of the worst behaviour by just never going on /r/all or visiting the default subs. If you just visit communities you actually like, you have a much nicer experience.

    It’s the same here. I subscribe to a bunch of communities I enjoy, and I browse Local on my home instance feddit.uk. I basically never go on the big All feed. And my experience is pretty tranquil; rarely do I see any trouble, and even more rarely trouble that the mods/admins can’t keep on top of.
