The question suggests a discussion about the potential repercussions of consuming a pint of beer with an ex-partner.

At Oktoberfest or other fall festivals, a stein of beer contains 1 liter of beer with a 5% alcohol content, which is equivalent to approximately 40 grams of pure alcohol. This amount is comparable to 3 to 4 glasses of wine or about 8 shots.

Quick consumption of a stein of beer can lead to a sharp rise in blood alcohol level and rapid intoxication. Uncontrolled reactions due to quick intoxication can result in dangerous falls, regrettable behaviour, dizziness, loss of balance, and in the worst case, a collapse.

A nutrition expert from the Bavarian Consumer Center, Anja Schwengel-Exner, states that consuming a large amount of alcohol at once is a shock to the body. To protect the body from rapid intoxication, she recommends eating something beforehand and alternating with water or juice spritzers while drinking.

Moderation in consuming a stein of beer is advised. To avoid quick intoxication, it's better to drink a stein of beer very slowly. With pre-existing conditions or very low weight, alcohol poisoning can occur quickly, so it's essential to be mindful of one's limits.

So, when raising your stein at Oktoberfest, remember to pace yourself and take care of your body. Prost!
