If you take a mile of hose, or one 50 foot length, what percentage

I know from my experience that two hoses in series deliver
significantly less water than one. Now multiply that effect for a
500 foot hose.

For tapping beer from kegs, they even use the line length to drop
the pressure to avoid foaming. 3/16" beer line produces 2 psi drop
per foot at the flow of a normal tap.

You had better put down that sudz.. you don't know the difference
between pressure and volume.

I do. Do you?

Droping the pressure drops the volume. Dropping it evenly over the length of the
hose results in a good pour. The tap needs to be fully open, or foam results.

If you want higher or lower carbonation, remember to adjust your beer hose
length one foot for each 2 psi. Otherwise you'll get foam when you pour.
