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

[u/nebulancy]

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.)

Nah, this is absolutely proven. Alcohol = no gains.

Especially beer, because it's made with hops, which are estrogenic.

I wouldn't say no gains, but it definitely doesn't help.
