Real men don't drink

[Damaso]

Men might feel like studs after a few drinks but nothing could be further from the truth, regrets

IT'S PARTY night and the lads are on the razz. They've all knocked back a drink or ten, and now they're slavering over anything in a skirt. What mysterious process is going on in their brains that makes them equate a capacity to consume alcohol with being a man? The same, perhaps, that makes them believe that beery breath and slurred speech guarantees their success with the woman they fancy.

Just a few drinks can make most men see Cindy Crawford in any woman. Some, however, find that an evening propping up the bar leaves them more interested in drinking songs than sex. Even one alcoholic binge could be enough to dampen a man's passion, while very heavy drinkers often experience a total loss of libido. The main reason is that alcohol lowers levels of the "male" sex hormone testosterone in the blood, and one of testosterone's many jobs in a man is to maintain and regulate the sex drive.

But alcohol may do more than cause droop, whether occasional or permanent. It can also actually diminish the size of a man's genitalia. Heavy drinking can damage the testes, says Ernest Abel of Wayne State University, Detroit, who defines a heavy drinker as anyone who consumes more than five drinks (75 millilitres of alcohol) a session twice or more a week. One study of alcoholics found that half showed some signs of shrinking testes, according to Timothy Peters of King's College London.

Wine and women
In a study of women aged between 18 and 35 years old, Peter Eriksson of the National Public Health Institute in Helsinki found that even very low "doses" of alcohol-a couple of drinks or so-can very quickly increase concentrations of the sex hormone testosterone in the blood. This could be linked to increased libido in women.

The alcohol-induced rise in testosterone is particularly clear in women who are on the Pill and non-Pill users who are ovulating. "This could explain why women display an activated sexual urge even in situations of heavy acute drinking in which many men already have lost both the urge and performance," says Eriksson. The reason alcohol pushes up testosterone levels is unknown. However, just as with men, women who are chronic heavy drinkers can suffer loss of libido and performance.

Thats why the man should stay sober, and give the beer to the girl. Its an age old trick used by many men to get the women horny and anxiuos to ****.

Me, I prefer to just be a nice guy to women and not get them drunk. I treat women with respect and much more. That seems to work better.

i dunno bout you guys but if i plan on getting drunk and getting some play i usually go drinking with a chick i have chosen when i was sober.

[clifgriffin]

I'm not old enough to drink.

Won't drink when I am.

Just isn't neccessary.

Like one comedian said, "I gave up alchohol last year. I got tired of waking up next to someone you don't know. Desperately trying to remember their name....and trying to remember why they're dead."


Need I say more?

Alright brain, I don't like you and you don't like me, so just get me through this exam so I can go back to killing you slowly with beer.

Stupid analogy, I know. . .too late.

Alcohol makes you better looking and invulnerable to criticsm. I see no problem with drinking, I don't drink that often any more but I like a beer or two when I go out.

Most of the people here are jumping on a beer is bad bandwagon without actually having tried it so have no basis to form an opinion on what it's like. Why not wait until you've tried something before commenting.

I can safely say I have tested much alcahol in my days
