Does Guinness contribute to DCS?

He'd have to be. Give me a break can anyone picture a Navy diver sober for a couple of days straight?

Excellent point. But that still doesn't address the question of whether a can is more dangerous than a bottle to drink after diving.

Any alcohol consumption post dive can mask the symptoms of DCS. It's a good idea to refrain for several days post dive.

If you can fly the next day I think a few beers should be alright!

You are less likely to get your head broke open by a can. But there is the possibility of get getting but by the aluminum.

And a cut is preferable to a skull fracture, therefor, a can is much safer than a bottle for post dive consumption. EUREKA!!! We now have scientific proof. Great job Blitz

Yes but a cut on the neck could kill you easier than a bottle to the head. . .

Allright, good point. Let's entertain the idea of a keg. Drinking a keg after diving sounds like a relatively safe practice. Objections?

Yes, but there is that nasty skull fracture consideration.
