Sorry, Freebird. Beer will undoubtedly have its own salubrious effect on one's outlook, but it won't do a thing to dissolve the capsaicin. Just basic chemistry, nothing to do with being a Yankee (g!). Capsaicin and related capsaicinoids (oleoresin capsicum, in the case of habanero) are soluble only in fat, not in water or alcohol. A swig of buttermilk will fix you (or anyone) right up.
Check your facts again Bubba.
According to my old trusty Merck Index (10th ed. pg 243-244), capsaicin is "freely soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform;".
This deserves repeating: Typical yankee.
You're absolutly right, dairy, the fatter the better, works very well.
It always reminds me of a very old joke about the fellow that eats hot peppers and is given ice cream to put out the fire.
The next morning he can be heard saying "Come on ice cream".
