Whoa! So is there any safe amounts of grapefruit one can consume involving these interactions?

I guess no Sculpin grapefruit IPA for you?

Having read this, all I can think is, “Oh my god, the killed Denny!  Those bastards!”

Not before a big night of viagra…

My doctor said “no grapefruit” and I’m not inclined to test the limits.

Dateline: 90 year old man found dead in hourly rate motel with empty bottle of Viagra and an empty six pack of Otra Vez. Man’s friend was quoted saying “Not a bad way to Gose!”

How long have you been waiting to be set up for that Jim?

Just fell together on its own

I didn’t see a mention of using the zest, is that also bad?
Personally, if I want grapefruit taste in my beer I’ll get it using hops.

I guess I don’t know why it wouldn’t be. All I know is that I was told that consuming grapefruit could be bad for me and I don’t care to experiment with what part or how much.

I am, but it’s because my wife wants me to.  Unlikely to be for public consumption.  lol
