Beer in the office is not something anybody needs and yes it requires a level of responsibility about how you use it, I would argue the same thing is true of having free soda in terms of the long term health of people in the office. I'm a guy and I could care less about if there is beer or not in the office. If anything it's a signal that the company is trying to look cool. It doesn't mean that the company is in fact a cool place to work. Also, it is completely sexist to say that beer is the fault of guys or that it is keeping women away. The place where I worked where they had beer on tap, just as many women drank as men. Many of the women were as vocal about supporting the beer keg as the guys were, so even though it is popular to claim that it's a gender thing, it's not. Some people like beer in the office some don't. I don't think gender has a lot to do with it. Alcohol consumption is very much a personal preference that doesn't correlate well with gender from what I can tell.
