Dear Men, Please Stop Drinking Beer. It's Making You Effeminate And Infertile
Beer is advertised as a man’s man drink, the elixir of masculinity and the first choice of any macho lad out on the town. Beer commercials specifically link the consumption of beer with strong male sexuality. We’ve all seen the bikini-clad women dancing seductively with a pint in each hand much to the delight of male patrons on screens.
No one could have foreseen the disastrous effects beer consumption has on overall male health, as well as male fertility, from the way we culturally think about beer drinking. A cheeky pint or two at the pub, or cracking a can at the end of a long work day on the couch is seen as a harmless and causal way for men to wind down from the daily grind.
This flies in the face of reality, though, as the physiological damage that frequent beer drinking does to the male body is so considerable that we could even make the argument that beer is a biological weapon targeted against men. But let’s not spend too much time considering the irony of using virulent male sexuality to sell a drink that can cause men to grow breasts. Rather, let me explain how and why this happens.
