It’s about time science did something worthwhile!!
A physicist named Rhett Allain just figured out exactly how much ice you need to perfectly chill a 12-pack of beer. Or a 12-pack of soda or water . . . if you’re That Guy.
He did all sorts of thermodynamics, which we won’t get into here. But after all his calculations, he found it takes 250 grams of ice per drink. So, exactly 6.6 pounds to cool a dozen beers.
Ice usually comes in 10-pound bags though. And if you drink slowly, you’re actually better off using a 10-pound bag, since some of the ice will melt.
The biggest takeaway here is . . . it takes more ice than you would’ve thought to keep your drinks cold. If you have 36 beers in a bucket, make sure there’s also room for at least 20 pounds of ice.
