Beer Does Contain Female Hormones. Last month, scientists at the National University of Lesotho , did release the results of an experiment, which revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should, thus, carefully evaluate their own beer consumption rates and amounts. More so, because of the new theory that beers contain female hormones (hops are comprised of phytoestrogens), and so by drinking enough of beer, men can turn into women. To test the theory, 100 men were asked by the scientists to drink 8 pints of beer each, within a 1 hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects: 1) Argued over nothing and everything. 2) Refused to apologize, even when obviously wrong. 3) Gained weight out of proportions. 4) Talked excessively without making any sense. 5) Became emotional overtly, and couldn't drive properly. 6) Failed to think or act rationally. 7) Had to sit down while urinating. No further tests were deemed necessary, as the theory had been proven to be scientifically correct. Send it to all the men, whom you may know, to at least warn them, in advance, on the risks of drinking too much beer!!!
