        I mean, by nature of the photo, she’s being set up to look cool. The others are all doing one thing, which is essentially bragging (in a sense. It’s a tradition based on judging/measuring wealth of the one who gave them the ring), while she is self-aware enough to look like she’s poking fun at herself, while also proving she’s above the tradition on display.

        This is a one-photo story where she’s set up to be the hero. Not to mention the color differences, the others have their hair down/done while she has her hair pulled back. It’s almost too-set up to make her look awesome.

          Seems like they’re all willing to pose like that for a picture. Do you think girl in purple came up with the idea and executed it all on her own? Looks to me like she had at least three (maybe four, depending on who’s taking the picture) equally fun friends who also thought this would be hilarious.

            They’re all willing to pose but only one of them is being self-deprecating in the picture, the others are getting to show off - which is fine, nothing wrong with that - but the only outlier here is the girl with the beer so we don’t really learn anything about anyone but her.

            Speculating on motives is pointless, I could say it was the idea of the most recently married one of the three who’s being a removed to the girl in purple, and purple felt pressured into doing it because she always gets harassed for being “no fun” or something.

              You are making a lot of negative assumptions about girls you do not know. To me, this looks like a funny spin on the “omg look I’m engaged photo” (which there’s nothing wrong with, by the way, even though you claim it’s for attention. What’s wrong with that? Sometimes things happen to people and you want to share. So what), where four friends happen to be engaged at once except one, so they’re taking a silly photo they all agree to be in.

              Your thinking smacks of misogyny in that you’re assuming that all of these girls are being horrible to each other because of some stupid assumption society has about that being “just how groups of women are”. It’s not true, and it’s stupid.

                I made no negative assertions, just pointing out that speculation is useless because you could make up any situation that results in this photo, and that the only thing we can realistically conclude is that the girl in purple is ok with this photo existing, and her friends are married.

    Where my beer nerds at.

    Can we ID that label?

    Looks ballast point-y. Given general sales and color… Is that a sculpin? Perhaps grapefruit?

    That’s my vote

    Edit: yeah it’s gotta be sculpin. Diagonal fat orange-ish fish. I see enough pink to presume grapefruit and not regular or habanero…

      Real beer nerds wouldn’t admit to knowing what a Ballast Point looks like since they got bought out by AB like 10 years ago.

        Real beer nerds would know they got bought by Constellation (Corona, Pacifico) not AB InBev.

        Real beer nerds would also know that Constellation sold them to a group of Brewers (Kings Convicts) in Chicago 5 years ago.

        Grapefruit scuplin came before the buyout. So there’d be no shame in recognizing this era of their branding even if you were right.

        Don’t try to out beer-nerd me, Holmes! Homie don’t play 🤓

      For real. Disappointing to see all the weird misogyny & judgements on these random woman.

      Even the ones being positive towards one of the women only do so by putting down the other woman.

    Looks to me like she didn’t know what else to do in the picture so she’d take a sip then 🤔

      Or they all collectively thought this was hilarious and set it up. Why would three friends line up to take a coordinated ring-shot with their friend who isn’t engaged?

      What if… What if they were told this is what they should want and that’s the goal to get a ring and a man and then their life would be complete.

      People can be convinced of anything.

      Post a selfie right now and let’s critique you and your body fat. Also, dingus, one of the engaged girls is the skinniest one in the photo.

      How you can tell someone’s an alcoholic when they don’t even drink. Don’t ever try it if that’s your brain’s default setting toward it.

        Huh? When did I say anything about alcoholics? I was just calling out the narrative and the push that drinking because you’re single is normal or somehow a healthy behavior. Wasn’t supposed to be this deep, just a callout on behavior which can very quickly spiral out of control. 1 in 12 men and 1 in 25 women have an alcohol problem in the us.

        Idk I’ve been recently trying to live a more healthy and sober life (despite not having issues with substances in the past) and honestly just feel disconnected with the obsession of drinking. Didn’t mean to offend or anything

          I think the vibe is supposed to be that they have to act married now and she can still party and have fun. Drinking is just used as a symbol of a carefree life.

          However I do agree about trying to lead a healthy life, here in rural Canada I would say way more than 1:12 men have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. I’m a casual drinker but I know a lot of drunks. And I mean beer for breakfast, driving around with a case of beer beside them and a Mickey in their pocket drunks, fully dependent alcoholics. Our cowboy culture really lets them slide on it, to a dangerous level.

            I could see that perspective too good point. I took her looking away from the camera as a “well fuck” and less of a haha look how happy and how much fun I’m having. But that’s just my perception of a silly lil meme
