Indirectly -- the meds I take to combat allergy symptoms make drinking high-alcohol content anything a challenge (the comparison I heard, and it seems to be accurate, is that for every beer I have, it's like having four...actually, once I built up my resistance, it's more like two, but I really don't like the idea of getting hammered every night, so I only drink enough quantity and at a speed to give me a light buzz) -- I had to work my way up to 11% beer, and 15 or 18% is just out of the question. 7-9% is my sweet spot. Good thing it's a good time to be a craft beer lover.
