Bloated after a pint? It’s not the beer—it’s the way you pour it.

Here’s the trick: start with a tilted glass. Pour your beer slowly, aiming for the side of the glass to reduce splashing. Once it’s about halfway full, start straightening the glass. You’ll notice a lovely foam forming at the top—don’t panic! That foam is your friend.

Why? Because it releases CO2 before you drink, sparing you from swallowing all those tiny bubbles that can puff up your belly. So, next time you pour, channel your inner bartender and give your beer (and your stomach) the respect it deserves.
