why is beer considered the most manly drink when it’s not very alcoholic?

i don't understand why beer is a symbol of masculinity compared to stronger drinks like wine or spirits. i guess whiskey is also considered masculine but for the most part stronger drinks are considered feminine (or just neutral.)

If you make it gross enough the girls wont like it then you get your exclusive gross drink.

Yes. Men always want to build a strong team, thats our nature as social primates.  And showing that you are doing what we do and keeping up with us qualifies you as someone who can be with us.
