Win-win! :)<br /><br />It's like tobacco: are you going to smoke the less-manly, worse-for-you cigarettes, or the stronger but healthier because not inhaled, smoke of a cigar or a pipe? Be more manly and choose stronger and healthier booze and smokes. ;)Will S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02714519301979594160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-55439899751459211372015-06-19T10:05:53.884-07:002015-06-19T10:05:53.884-07:00Beer industry is huge!

I drink alcohol free sorts and malt sometimes, but after this research I'm not sure I care for it. May be, this Belgian sort made with cherries, I think it contains no hop. But for women, it's not so bad as for men, though I wonder about all this phytoestrogen and breast cancer connection. I mean if soy can be dangerous because of it, why not beer?

May be, that's why Romans who cultivated traditional manly virtues didn't care for it? The use of natural stimulants probably balanced the bad effects of barley, however, since they started using hops it all seems to have gone downhill. <br /><br />It may be anecdotal evidence, but those men I know who drink too much beer, aren't particularly manly.

I bet most of those men who complain about "fat women" are probably out of shape themselves. How many of them look like they're about 7 months along?
