- sydthrowaway 5y agoPeople who have ED need to read this.
- froh 5y agoWhat does ED stand for?
- CountGeek 5y agoErectile Disfunction
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoWhy? An erection is just a natural delivery mechanism, no measure of healthy, or rather fertile sperm. Besides that Weed tends to give me a real hard boner. So I don't get your point?
- agumonkey 5y agoBiking too
- dumbfoundded 5y agoHot tubs are the closest thing we have to male birth control.

- VeninVidiaVicii 5y agoI guess I should stop having a cold beer in the hot tub after riding my bike back from work…
- kwdc 5y agoThose phytoestrogens play some interesting games. As does a liver with damage caused by alcohol. Add to this the irony of all the advertising around beer being a predominantly "man's drink" and it gets even more interesting.
- DeathArrow 5y agoI'm not sure my kids would agree with that.
- elmomle 5y agoAnecdotes are irrelevant when discussing large-scale statistical trends.
- dustymcp 5y agoWhich is why more studies are needed
- dustymcp 5y agoHaha my thought exactly
- mpfundstein 5y ago+1
- iammisc 5y ago5 drinks/week is a lot.
- dustintrex 5y agoIt's not a huge figure though: a glass of wine with dinner most nights, or a couple of brewskis with boys on Fri & Sat night. For men, the bar for "heavy" drinking is 15+ drinks/week.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoResearch has “The bar” being lowered for many years. It is pretty clear at this point that all but the most sparing consumption of alcohol has measurable negative effects.
- gremloni 5y agoNot even remotely. That’s less than a drink a day.
- hoseja 5y agoDrinking ~everyday is a lot for a lot of people.
- krageon 5y ago> fairly modest > 5 drinks/week This makes me wonder strongly what you would consider a significant amount of alcohol consumption, because 5 drinks/week seems like a huge amount to me already.
- rozab 5y agoWhere on earth do you live? Looking at some stats, that number was the average for the UAE in 2016. At this time it was illegal to drink without a license, and Muslims could not obtain these at all.
- TheCoelacanth 5y agoOne thing to remember that is that for alcohol consumption, average >>> median. The top drinkers drink an astronomical amount, but a typical person drinks much less than the average.
- brnt 5y agoI live in the Netherlands and here alcohol consumption is highly skewed. Smoking too btw. Also one of the few - if not only - places where alcohol consumption correlates inversely with poverty. If you drink here, you're probably an alcoholic. Even if most don't think they are.
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoCan't believe that, though I haven't been in .nl for a long time, so I have no 'feeling' for how it could be now. But why then there is Amstel, Grolsch, Heineken and some more?
- krageon 5y agoI think they were saying everyone who drinks there is an alcoholic (by normative global standards?). The reason there would be so many beer brands is because there are a lot of consumers :)
