Deco beer?

[halocline]

With glass beer bottles you need to exhale slightly into the bottle and let the beer flow into your mouth. Stop blowing and the beer stops coming out. I figured this out in my parents pool many years ago.

Nice to read that you spent your youth learning something useful!

On average I do two trips a month on a dive boat here in New Zealand. In four years of diving I have only seen alcohol consumed once. That was on the 45 minute trip back to the marina after a day of diving.

I can understand that breathing the dry filtered air does make you thirsty.

I've never had the dry mouth thing. Amazingly, I still drink beer.

30 years ago it was just dumb stuff that kids do. Today an answer to a question on Scuba board... making mom proud.

As I have gotten older, I find that my hangovers have gotten exponentially worse. I only get diving about once a year, so I typically limit myself to one drink (often a glass of wine with dinner) per day. I simply am not willing to risk missing a morning (or day) of diving while I am curled up in the fetal position beside the toilet/head.

Had to read the title of this thread twice, I thought it said 'disco beer...'

Any beer is disco beer if you drink enough of it

Nearly every liveaboard I've been on spikes the hot chocolate after the night dive.

Not sure where you have had this experience, unusual in mine, you have to be careful when you generalize

Certainly have experienced this myself, not only here in the States but also on my international dive trips. Seems most common with my fellow Americans.

Personally, it is very rare that I will drink after a dive or the day before.

I have never seen this however I certainly hope that the ones that you have seen do it ask if you want it "spiked" or non-spiked and don't just do it automatically. It would be incredibly irresponsible to, for instance, give a recovering alcoholic a "spiked" hot chocolate without telling that person (and they would really have no way of knowing in advance if this would apply to one of their guests).

yes, of course they offer it both ways.
