We need to get him a shot of the stuff they gave to Barry in Flash
That may kill him haha.
What?
which episode was that again?
It's like the 4th or 5th in season 1 if I'm not mistaken. i know it's kind of early in the season so maybe a little after those.
loved that part in the show.
If there was ever a time for Kyle to shout "Another!", it was this episode.
Damnit, you're right. Missed opportunity. -- KH
Also just checked, Captain America could down a quarter liter of 100% ethanol in 1 min to get drunk. #CapChug -- KH
Challenge Accepted Kyle.
Psssshhh I could do that
Introduce him to Charlie Sheen. It might work out
+demonblade001 Mao, i'll sleepy joyful after this xD
what about Thor's Asguardian drink that isn't meant for mere mortals
He's named after America, he can get drunk
thank god he is not captain Russia XD
Well he's not captain awesome *ahem* Ireland so he's not da best at it
your forgetting the south Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, and, shine
Captain Ireland would be too busy stumbling around to fight crime.
+gi70st You made my morning but it's too early to be laughing 😂😂
Does colossus poop? and if so, is it metal?
nice question.......
+? ?? 😟😟😟
I forgot he was normal in X-Men... I think i still had Deadpools depiction still branded into my brain.
+Tehlonelynoob so why was he eating cereal in the Deadpool movie?
he was drinking coffee or whatever also in the taxi.
What about Thor? he is a godlike alien, but there are tons of tales about him doing the stupidest things while drunk.
Awesome video as always anyway.
Remember the Avengers 2 scene where he had one fermented for thousands of years "not meant for mortal men", I'm guessing there must be some super strong alcohol in Asgard that is his equivelant of a beer or something or like that
And don't forget Hercules.
The explanation I made for that was that in those stories, Thor is drinking God-Like amounts of alcohol or Alcohol made specifically by and for the gods
Terminian Link Dionysus
+Apollo Olympos that's Greek
He can not get drunk because he drinks American beer...
oh shit son shots fired!!
+Kevin Ayala I haven't tried american beer yet so idk what its like
Not all American beer is weak, faux-German piss water. I live in Michigan and there are a ton of great breweries. Founder's makes an oak barrel aged Scotch ale that is amazing, strong too.
He may not get drunk by drinking American beer, but he gets freedom! 🇺🇸
+Derek Abbott majority of the world has 'freedom'
Drunk Thor trying to get the Cap'n drunk..
Shit, I doubt the Army would pay that much in backpay lol
RationalizeThis probably just kick him out cuz he's technically 80 something
If superman drank bleach would it just come out as piss or would it just stay there? what would happen if he ingested something that couldn't digested or come out as pee?
Good question, I'd like Kyle to do a video on that!
Yes Kyle better see this
He would still die, having tough skin does not equal being immune to poisoning.
+Fantasy Connect Superman is near invulnerable not Luke Cage, every cell within Superman is near indestructible.
+Vere Looby No, they aren't indestructible as he has been shown to be cut and poisoned several times.

But how fast will he get sober after that one minute of drinking assuming he is completely healthy aside from the intoxication?
Shouldn't you know? U r Jesus.
Alexander H OH TRUUUUUU
***** It's always a party with Jesus around ;)
+Jesus hey what is God doing up there?
Laxx Cocaine and hookers.
How mutch does the army actually owe him in back pay?
I'm sure Tony could help Steve out.
But if Cap has a metabolism 4x as powerful as an average human, doesn't that mean he has to eat a ton of food in order to keep himself alive? When he goes to a restaurant, does he have to order all the entrees because he can't live without eating that much?
well, with four times the metabolism, yes, that would mean four times the food. I'm pretty sure Cap would be able to easily set quite a few eating records.
Steve would be the ultimate player in the Nathan's hot dog eating contest.
+burnin8able I want that scene.
just picture Goku eating, except wearing a captain America suit :P
All you can eat buffet for him
4:10 At least he took that beer grenade - promote him again! Someone certainly needs a guinea pig for a "Captain Budweiser serum".
Hey Nerdist, isn't it cannon that Asgardian mead can get Cap drunk quick? If so, please do a because science finding how alcloholic Asgardian mead is.
and more importantly... how it could be produced... ya know... "theoretically"... in case a person were suffering from Cap's problem on this one... (asking for a friend)
That is the thing. You can't get more then about 97% alcohol. So maybe if Cap tries absynt, he would get drunk fast.
David Elliott I'm from the Netherlands and >80% is not strange here. And the reason I said absynt is because it is the most wellknown drink that can get over 90%. But anything this strong would work, home made or bought.
@@mennograafmans1595 Sometimes moonshine can get up to 99% alcohol. Moonshine is a well known alcoholic drink from Appalachia.
My favourite part of these videos are the #KyleRants at the end, no question
I enjoy these videos with kyle hill sm. you should consider making longer videos because it feels too short honestly. its sm fun breaking down all the science to our heroes. i
A question: How does Cap's regeneration effect the equation? In the comics, Rogers doesn't regenerate, but in the movies they state that he does have a regeneration factor (which Steve also attributes to his not being able to get drunk).
Thor, I just watched your segment on "how to make Everything" and wanted to say that it was awesome and I love it whenever one of my favorite youtubers comes onto tv aswell
P.S. I like how they described you as Nerdist period
Haha is that what they went with? Puny mortals. -- KH
+Nerdist SCIENCE THOR
How much would he or wolverine have to eat everyday? Wouldn't they always be hungry?
Your videos are always such fun!
Thanks for the video Kyle, was a great watch. Cheers ;)
ALL the drink. That's how much.
This is the best show on YT.
Thank you so much! -- KH
Yes it is
I’d seriously love a video ranking which super-metabolism superhero could drink the most.
What about the drink who Thor gives to him in AoU? He drank a 3k years old potion and Cap stayed normal. This shows how great is his metabolism.
how does caps shield bounce around if it absorbs kinetic energy?
Jonathan Delacruz For some reason every adaptation is 50% the shield absorbs the kinetic energy and 50% the shield reflects kinetic energy
Has anyone told you that you look like Thor?
Pretty much everyone. -- KH
I think more about Tarzan or some 80's rockstar when I see you. By the way great content I stumbled upon your channel no regret love your video concepts!
"puny god"
science thor!
Very creative episode, enjoyed this one a lot.
THanks for the videos Kyle! Your awesome and I like these science vids the most on your channel. Thanks!!!
Also, quick question, how is it writing in mirror image? I imagine that's really difficult...
+Jud Nelson flip the picture when editing
Oh, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks!
That was the worst "Fake drunk" I have ever seen
Eh. I tried. -- KH
Well... I'm almost like Captain America in some way... That scares me.
Video Idea:
Magneto vs. Count Dooku
Magneto controls metal (turn on/off lightsaber, pseudo-force powers apply to the saber hilt; saber blocking lightening to a degree, controls metals in body cells?), and Count Dooku controls the force at master level (force powers beyond weaponry, applies to all things metal or not, less confined by a lack of armor).
Which would have greater power 1v1?
who need school when u got Kyle Hill? i truly learn more from you than the school,oh i love tv documentary films too,thank you thorlike bro
Cap Casually Necking A Bottle Of Absinthe
what about that Ale he drank from Thor? I'm sure their alcohol could get Cap drunk relatively quickly.
Got another metabolism one for you Kyle - In regards to speedsters (Flash, Zoom, R-Flash, Quicksilver, etc), how does their hair & nails not grow at an exponentially higher rate? Given that they burn calories faster and require significantly more nutrition (see Flash S1) to keep up with their metabolism.
Hey Kyle, I love this series (one of my favorites on all of RUclips!), and was wondering what inspired you to follow science and engineering? I am applying to college this year and was just curious.
Thanks Detective! I was pretty nerdy from a young age; museums, LEGOs, Bill Nye CD-ROMs, catching bugs in the backyard, etc. What got me really into science was probably a combination of Bill Nye the Science Guy and MythBusters. I went straight into engineering in college, and in my last year I started science communication. I've followed it as a career ever since. -- KH
Wow! That's awesome Kyle!! I am kind of like that too haha! I am thinking about doing either Film or Science (bio or bioengineer type thing), or possibly engineering. I know I cannot go to like the best engineering school with my grades, but a pretty good one! Oh by the way, I am the guy that sent you the video of the Nerf Spider-Man project!!
They should've made a special booze for him to get drunk, like in The Flash. I just want to see what happens when a drunk Cap throws his shield!
Thor got drunk😁😂😂^
When you were explaining how you thought a collision between C.A.'s shield and Black Panthers suit would be a "soft" interaction I began singing soft kitty in the back of my head.
Your videos are amazing! Can you please do an episode about razor wind?
Thor is drunk...
we are dead.
i just drank a fifth of vodka dare mr to take on hydra?
Timothy Joseph Franklind Goodnight, sweet Prince.
The greatest moments of my life are when I watch one of his videos for the first time, and at the end I guess when he's gonna say "because science" and actually get it spot on XD feels guuuud
Cap vs. Buffet - epic destruction.
But didn't Stark have a drinking problem though? o3o
Stark is a normal person
+JackTheFriendlyNeighborhoodDinosaur ! normal metabolism, but he is above genius
yes but his beat his own alcoholic
Could radiation make you live for a long time like the 200+ year old Ghouls in Fallout?
Hey bat m I mean Bruce
It's not just the radiation that does it but the rads combined with the FEV virus so I doubt that could be calculated due to there being no precise formula for FEV. Not everyone exposed to FEV became a Ghoul though so there must be another unknown factor as well. So very interesting but so little data. I wish I could research Ghouls for a living...
MinionOfDeth2112 No it's just radiation that causes ghoulification. Chris Taylor did claim that F.E.V. was involved but that was never canon.
Biologically speaking, extreme longevity has been observed to occur in nature, so it is certainly seems possible and might one day that, with sufficient knowledge & technical expertise, may be achieved through genetic manipulation using gene therapy (as per fallouts FEV). Ionizing radiation however does what it says on the tin, It Ionizes molecules, makes aquatic solutions acidic, and as far as organic chemistry is concerned, causes untoward chemical reactions to occur inside living cells. As you might expect this would normally kill a living cell. On rare occasions it might result in a random mutation during cellular division. Such a mutation could be benign, cancerous, or give rise to a new trait. It is staggeringly unlikely however that cells carrying beneficial trait information would be created at all, let alone in large enough quantities that would allow said trait to be actualized within the body of that particular organism. An undeveloped zygote may adopt a randomly generated trait from a mutated cell once it has reached a certain level of maturity as only a small number of effected cells would be needed to facilitate the mutated cells prevalence throughout the tissues of the organisms body. If a similar effect were to happen in an already fully developed organism, the host’s preexisting unaffected tissues would need to be displaced and supplanted by new tissue comprised of mutated cells, a process that would be not unlike a cancerous tumor devouring the healthy tissue around it most as such would likely result in death. However, this does give rise to a disturbing possibility. If just one cell randomly mutated “correctly” as a result of radiation exposure, spread through the body like a cancer, didn’t disrupt any vital functions in doing so and had extreme longevity, you could end up with a being not unlike a ghoul from fallout. Although, that’s a Lot of low probability “ifs” to overcome… so 1 ghoul like creature, maybe in a thousand apocalypses, maybe… Unless… Remember how our one cell needed to be able to devour the body of ifs fully developed host, what if the cells were able to assimilate alien (none parent organisms) hosts too, bam, instant genetically identical zombie clone post-apocalypse! Conclusion - exceedingly unlikely, practically impossible, but not, strictly speaking, “impossible”
radiation plus fev makes gen 2 super mutans aka "the dumb dumbs"
pretty cool episodes, love because science! Well when it comes to the last one that's exactly what my friends and I said , watching civil war
So based on a 4x metabolism, Cap would have a rough time getting more buff. He'd have to eat about 8-10k just to stay neutral. But throw in military activities/ exercise/ training and he would probably need a at least 15k. Especially working out at the level that he could
could superman get cancer
Yes. He has a healing factor, so he can get a cancer.
If you read how the new 52 version dies you'll see ;)
+Clayton Cortina Thanks for the spoiler
+Ben Newington lmao its been out for a little bit already
+Clayton Cortina You reccomended for someone to read it so u know they haven't at least.
People get drunk at 0.20? I am 2.0 on a casual Friday. I guess us Slavs are different.
No you're not. -- KH
As a swede I agree. 0.2 is when you shouldn't drive anymore but unless you go over 1 you don't really feel intoxicated
+Nerdist Slav here, yes we are
U get drunk after 0.20 god I've gone way over what and i don't even drink
It's called being Irish
congrats on the new sci channel show Kyle
HOW IS THIS SO ADDICTING
What about pure alcohol, like 80-95%? How much would it take?
Btw, there are so alcohols that have that much.
A little more than a cup in less than a minute. -- KH
That's kinda surprise. I thought maybe more., but it might be a way that he could be drunk.
Yeah, but it tastes horrible and drinking alcohol of that concentration at that speed would burn the esophagus and do some serious damage on the stomach. Though he's captain America so I don't think it would affect him but it will still taste horrible.
+lifeincolour09 yeah it tastes extremely bad and it does burn kinda burn the throat.
+lifeincolour09 yeah it tastes extremely bad and it does burn kinda burn the throat.
0.6 L booze in under a minute huh? cough cough shoenice
What about tolerance? In college, I met a 5'3" 120 girl who could drink a bottle in a night herself. She'd down 4 shots before leaving to a party and still pass a field sobriety test. She'd drink 100 poof just so she would have some left over the next morning. And yes, I'm aware she was an alcoholic.
If I am correct, Quicksilvers speed is based off his mutant ability and something regarding metabolism. Could you possibly touch on how that works, and if/how quicksilver can get drunk and such? Feel free to expand on the subject or anything, I'm curious on your thoughts, Kyle, whether it be in comment or video form!
Does Nerdist read and reply to comments?
I try to read and reply to every comment for the first 24 hours. -- KH
sometimes
Kyle what do you think about hugeakman not being the wolverine anymore
the only number that truly varies for cap there is that he metabolizes the alcohol about 4 times faster, allegedly.
so as a rule of thumb, he sobers up 4 times faster than the average bloke
*****
Cool! Love your Because Science series, and hope you keep making more of these: when I watch them and listen to all these calculations and all of these things it makes me fell smart :D
oh my god...I wanted to stop watching after you said half a liter of 80 proof liquor....HALF A LITER....omg
Still my favorite segment on this channel!
Damn ! I love that beat !
What!?
You just said he couldn't drink enough to get drunk (or he will explode)
P.S. Funk that hail hydra shit
He can't chug enough beer to get drunk from chugging. If he drinks all that beer over 24 hours (peeing and such), it should be very uncomfortable, but fine. -- KH
But he can't get drunk....
He can get drunk, he just needs to drink something with a higher alcohol content then beer.
Or a beer enema, that'll do it...... BECAUSE SCIENCE!
Game theory did it first
It's a joke because of what Kyle said in the last video about Deadpool.
But you've been dead to me for years. -- KH
Kyle how does cyclops powers work? if you could make a video on how his powers worked
I would be real thankful, btw, love your videos bro!
Kyle hill, I have never seen a more perfect drunken captain America impression then the one you just did! Lol
Science taught in a fun and nerdy way! Couldn't be better!!!
Thanks Natalia! -- KH
Although most commonly used Widmark isn't very accurate. It's a theoretical maximum, there are other equations that might produce more accurate results. Also when discussing alcohol I'd stay away from %proof (it can vary country to country and is a confusing measurement at the best of times) I'd go with %volume. And that's not mentioning any rate limiting steps like induction of CYP2E1.
Your channel rocks! Keep it up!
Black Panther jumping into Cap's shield would be like throwing a stuffed animal into a pillow
Really like you drunk cap impression.
This looks awesome, haven't seen it yet, but seems awesome
Beacuse Science is the only reason why i'm subscribed! GoodJob KH!
Given that the Hulk can supply his muscles with an ungodly amount of energy, his metabolism must be extremely efficient. Can you do a video on how much it would take to get the Hulk drunk?
If I remember correctly in the comics asgardian ale is one of the few things that Steve Rogers can get drunk with, so all we would need to do is find out how much alcohol content, and what volume, he can drink before he would be drunk
I love this show! Question: in the original Groundhog Day movie with Bill Murray. How many days did he repeat? It had to have been in the thousands.
This show is awesome. I laugh all the time.
... BECAUSE KYLE!
Love it, have to agree with your final comment too, was thinking that most of the way home from the cinema lol
That epic salute face though...
Do a HSW on the Lazarus pit! My guess is that using electrochemical induction it could work a bit like a defibrillator?
You are always amusing to watch.
That whoa before he talks about the amount of 80 proof he'd have to drink in a minute is priceless.
Well that's weird! I literally just watched Cap 1 again and you post this video! 🍺
The part at the end of the outro oml my thoughts exactly.
When he talked about black panther ramming into caps shields I just lost it, i LAUGHED SO HARD i WOKE MY FAMILY! WHY WOULD HE DO IT KYLE?
-Hey cap I wanna try smth
-Sure Tchalla, what is it?
-Im gonna need u to hold your shield steady and trst me...
I never thought this would happen.
Black panther could theoretically jump off a cliff onto caps chield with no damage what so ever! Because Physics!
Love this channel
Tony: "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!"
I totally called bs on the exponential bump to never-drunkenness from a 4x metabolism in the movie! I thought you were gonna be totally off from the films but you weren't! Awesome episode Kyle!
Here's a request for a because science vid:"How loud is Sampson the lion's roar"Since it blows everything away
If Captain America's shield is supposed to absorb vibrations, it shouldn't just be able to bounce of objects. It shouldn't matter whether it's being hit with things like bullets, or if it's being thrown into walls. Either way, energy must be absorbed according to the properties it has. So scenes where the Cap is flinging his shield around shouldn't be possible because the shield would just fall to the ground when it hits something.
Kyle, thank you for teaching me a lot of science. And making me laugh while doing it, and also. Plz reveal the secret of your magnificant hair :D
Thank you, that always means a lot to me. Hair secrets: Genetics, a good highlight job, argan oil, a metric ton of conditioner. -- KH
+Nerdist lol, i'll see if it works on MY hair.......it won't :(
Doesn't cap also have enhanced healing, not to the levels of Wolverine or anything but I'm sure I read healing is part of his power set this would effect his ability to stay drunk for long if he ever got there?
The Widmark Formula. If you can still calculate it, you're not drunk yet.
Decent advice. -- KH
Finally a Kyle that's good at Science.
y-your mouth (burp) m-morty lol
never enough entertaining science vids with Kyle .
how about also working over at sci show presenting along with Hank and Michael ?
