Akshully I think itâs either âless beerâ or âfewer beersâ (plural).

Now you two just had the same interaction as in the post lmao
Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
To build on this, this usage is called a non-count noun. Less beer, less water, less air, less sand, etc. all refer to non-countable quantities of some substance. Beer could be counted, if referred to by some metric (âone glass of beer,â â24 ounces of beerâ), same as âa bottle of water,â âone tank of air,â âa truckload of sand.â
Which is all to say that youâre right. âLess beerâ makes far more sense than âfewer beer.â
