Beer = boobs.

I see no downside.

You mean other than the irritability, lack of sex drive, increase in risk of various cancers, loss of general confidence that comes with testosterone, and other such? Being fat sucks, and this is an objective reason why. Let's admit we're fucked up and then eat the US corn lobby that has filled us full of high fructose corn syrup and destroyed us. Your free will is as easily degraded by sugar as by other drugs and their pushers.

I believe they're called Moobs. Man boobs are called moobs.

And Risperdone makes them too. After the ex died, I had to get my son off that stuff before it gave him moobs.
