The 5 Most Ridiculous Drinking Myths You Probably Believe

It's every beer drinker's unavoidable fate: the beer gut. The proof is all around us we all have at least one friend or family member who perennially looks like they're pregnant, regardless of their actual state of fertility or, for that matter, gender. Or rather, that massive mound you insist on calling your "one pack" has nothing to do with actual beer consumption. Says who? Says science.

"Maybe we shouldn't have gotten liquored up before this test."

You see, some researchers got curious about this whole beer belly thing a while back, but presumably their stingy bosses wouldn't sign off on a never ending supply of oat soda "for science." So they rounded up a 2,000 strong bunch of Czechs, a people who apparently wean their toddlers off of the bottle by offering them a nice stout. And what they found was at once surprising and freaking awesome: Beer appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the so called beer gut.

In fact, research shows that the amount of bracelet van cleef and arpels replica beer you drink and the size of your belly have no correlation whatsoever.

Now obviously beer has calories, so a huge intake will contribute to weight gain (especially since you tend to take very little exercise when you're constantly bombed). But even then, it's nothing more than what, say, a strict bacon sandwich diet would do to you any excess calories can lead to weight gain. And that weight may or may not settle right on your belly, depending on whether you're genetically predisposed to it.

That's right: There's a beer belly gene. People get fat in different ways, and abdominal obesity is just one of the many interesting fat storing shapes that the human body can sculpt itself into if said human body doesn't take care of clover bracelet van cleef and arpels replica itself. So if you have the van cleef arpels bracelet replica gene, you'll wind up having a pot belly eventually, regardless of your actual alcohol consumption. Unless, that is, you maintain a strict diet and exercise regimen for your entire life, but who the hell does that?"Sixty more crunches and I can drink half a light beer!"

Absinthe is an intense hallucinogenic liquor once favored by artists such as Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Degas and Vincent Van Gogh. Concocted from wormwood and fever dreams, it's closer to doing drugs than doing most actual drugs. That's why it's been banned in so many countries, obviously.

Above: How people think absinthe works.

Nope. It's a myth. Always was.

The potentially toxic/hallucinogenic thujone that supposedly causes the psychoactive effects of absinthe only shows up in ridiculously small trace amounts. The whole reputation of absinthe is based on a very simple fact: It was a strong, no frills attached, cheap as muck liquor, and thus favored by big drinkers who couldn't afford fancy wines and beers because of the sheer amount of their intake."Please pour the next one into a bucket."

Because absinthe drinkers were the type who tended to drink a lot, their alcoholism symptoms were blamed on the "drug" effects of absinthe. Its purveyors are just ripping a forged page from the annals of history and feeding us the same bullshit our forefathers swallowed up, in hopes that its reputation will make you buy more of their swill."Absinthe! The only proper drink for the square monocled gentleman."American Beer Is Weaker Than Others
