    I saw this today and I just could not walk away without posting it, cheers....

    "Men who love IPAs may be a little more top-heavy than guys who’d prefer to drink lighter beers, but it’s not because of the calories. It’s because the hops that give India Pale Ales their signature bitter flavor contain a plant-based form of estrogen known as phytoestrogen that could cause men to develop man boobs and erectile dysfunction."

    “It does not seem to be just a temporary problem, because erectile ability was still affected after a year and, according to the results, did not seem likely to improve just with [alcohol] abstinence,” a team of researchers from Santo Tomas University in Colombia and the University of Granada in Spain wrote in the Journal of Sexual Medicine."

    "But for men, this study suggests that hops can be both a boob-grower (to get rid of them, you’re going to have to do man boobs exercises) and a boner-killer."

    Hahahahaahahahahahahaha.... wait, they're serious. I drink 80% IPA all the time. Long as you do pushups, you're fine; and on the ED, nah.
    Cheers - that gave me a good laugh.

    Pssssshhh, I've had man boobs since before I even started drinking beer. The ED though? I chalk that up to being with the same woman for the last 26 years.

    Pretty sure the extra carbs will (eventually) give you man boobs and other unsightly body appendages, whereas the booze will cause certain functions to suffer. Not magic.

    I won't go into politics here. I come here to get loaded and talk to like minded people. I don't ever have anything in common with the KOMO, KING or KIRO FB crew. But I find a lot of interesting folks here, all willing to tell a tale from outside our bubble. Refreshing.
