Apologies to Ralf for bringing his project down to such a base level, but... when filling a glass with beer or soda, is it better to:
1) Wait patiently for the bubbles to settle down, then continue filling the glass.
2) Pour the head off into a sink (or gutter, drainage ditch, neighbor's yard, etc.), and immediately continue filling said glass.
3) Put your finger (or face, pencil, penis, etc.) into the drink, thus creating a "bubble chain" to expedite the depletion of bubbles, making more room for your drink.
Continuing to pour the beverage and letting the head run out onto the counter and floor is not an option. It makes the host/hostess mad.

Uh, how about angle the glass thus avoiding the problem altogether?
Didn't you ever learn how to properly tap a keg?

There's ALWAYS head SOMEwhere. At least some. If not, it's flat.

"There's always head somewhere."
Words to live by!
Ahem. Anyway, the proper method is to let the foam settle then add more. Pulling a really foamy stout, like Guiness, may take many minutes.
Remember: Foam is just beer in transition. Wasting beer is a sin!

One doesn't DRINK beer. One savors it. Loves it. Calls it by pet names. Dabs it behind each ear then rolls on the floor in fits of ecstasy.

Fun beer fact: the Ale House now has dedicated a chunk of barspace to a fancy new tap for a St. Arnold's CASK-CONDITIONED Ale. This is *way cool*, partially because the new brew is good (think Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, extra-strength), but mostly because the tap is one of those pull-taps like you find in REAL AUTHENTIC U.K. PUBS.

putting a body part in the beer actually puts a small amount of skin oil into the beer which lowers the surface tension enough to pop the bubbles. You should never pollute in this manner! (even though I too abstain from partaking of this beverage)

So the actual act of touching the beer to your lips DESTROYS it?
What alternative do I have?

Wait patiently for the bubbles to settle down. Good things are worth waiting for.
I agree with Ralf that wasting or polluting beer is indeed a very grevious sin!

Take some of the foam in your mouth. Let it sit on your tongue. Feel it's alcoholic content eat away at your saliva as it pools in the folds and crevices in your mouth. To the outside world, you're just sitting there, waiting for the head on your beer to go away, but the Real Secret You is actually trying to figure out what to do with the pocket of air which is in your mouth. If you open your mouth, the beer will drool out, but if you swallow, you're swallowing a bunch of air.
This is the secret pleasure of beer, akin to that enjoyed by those who like to wet themselves in public places.
(Yes, I know I'm weird.)

Sooz (in regard to this old thread), I would like to point out that I would go with Option #4 (not listed) which would be to fill it to the rim with foam, and then drink it AS IS. (I like a head on my beer. And soda foam dissipates quicker.)

Of course you have a hidden set of testicles, sooz. All women do. They're called ovaries.
Men have ovaries, too, we just wear them in a sac under our penises.

Response #32
By: Homer The Brave
Date: 10/20/01 3:22:16 PM
Well, no. It's actually gonadotropic releasing hormone (GnRH) that signals the proto-ovaries/testes to descend from their abdominal resting spot in the fetus. GnRH is produced by the hypothalamus, by the way. So it's a function of proto-brain chemistry which produces primary and secondary sexual characteristics.
Estrogen (and testosterone) are purely second-rate.
