Shrinkflation: Alcoholic edition

[Ninja'd]

So here I am drinking Hansa pilsener (yeah I know, worse than piss) when my friend asks me how much alcohol is in it. I say 4.5% because I've been drinking it for years. I look at the label to show it to her and this bastard is now 4.2%.

When the hell did this happen? Haven't checked labels in because I know I can always trust on alcohol but I've clearly been deceived.

Don't feel like finishing it anymore.

Gonna buy a black label now. I swear if it's not 5.5%...

Edit: still some good in the world, I guess.

Has been 4.2 forever, always been lower.

And don't bismerch the name of Hansa, it's the only commercial pilsner and has actual saaz in it

Nah, I clearly remember it at 4.5%

.2 is an odd number.

Hansa still thinks it's 4.5%

hmmmmm, maybe they changed the recipe when they redid the packaging.

I haven’t had a drink in a while, but I was invited on Saturday to my local sports club. I don’t know about shrinkage, but considering that I was at a sports club and not at another entertainment venue I was surprised how expensive on-premise alcohol consumption has become. How people are still going out to have a drink, too much, in these times is beyond me.
