Beer Boobs

[wishfulthinking]

I got told something bizarre, so where else would I ask the following question:

When women drink, our female hormones drop, our sex drive increases, and if we drink a lot apparently our tits get smaller. On the other hand, when males drink, their female hormones increase, their sexual drive decreases, and if they drink a lot, they get beer boobs.

Mostly true or completely false?

Time to change drinking buddies?

Simply mind boogling that I would bother asking?

Next question?

None of the above?

You've just been nominated as secretary of the Nips Club

I forgot to add, I was told that when females drink their testosterone levels increase, and vice versa for men.

This is permissible -- as long as you're thinking about sex. All other matters must wait 'til you've consumed at least 2 cups of coffee or 10am, whichever comes first.

So that's where the saying "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker" came from!

Id say its true guys, hubby drinks alot of beer and he has 'man boobs' - wait, maybe thats just because he is over weight! lol

One thing the older doctors say is if you are having trouble getting enough milk when you nurse is to drink a half beer a day!

That however doesnt mean Im goind to get pregnant so I can on doctors orders drink a half beer a day. Ill drink a whole one and not worry, wait, that cant happen, he drinks all of it! lol

This sounds like BS to me. Unless you're a real suds-head putting away a gallon or two a day, I seriously doubt that beer has any real effect on your hormones.

The state of nutritional science is truly abysmal. Myths are accepted as truth, real controlled experimentation is rare and usually inconclusive, and then the results are exaggerated to the point of fiction.

I would imagine that someone looked at hormones in alcoholics and found some statistically significant results, and then this got exaggerated into a belief that one beer will make your tits grow or shrink. This kind of stuff happens in nutrional science all the time.

Case in point: the myth that you should drink 6 glasses of water a day. This came about due to an examination of water lost over the course of a normal day, which amounts to about 6 glasses. However, the food we eat is mostly water and makes up a significant amount of our water intake. You don't need anywhere near 6 additional glasses a day, however this has now become nutritional dogma.

Was going to say that. Hormones shmormones. The most common man-tits are caused by packing a few extra pounds in general. Something that beer-drinking is quite good at providing.

Beer goggles I know well.

Beer boobs I've never heard of.

Candy is dandy
but liquor is sicker —
while gals get all randy,
guys can’t find their dicker.

Some use rum to get frisky without whiskey,
But my pops used schnapps as a liquor to get schiker.
