You have to hope that this study is flawed, but the evidence seems irrefutable.Several months ago, scientists at europe's annual human reproduction conference suggested that the results of a recent analysis revealed the presence of female harmones in the beer, and suggested that men should look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer makes men turn into women.

To test the theory,100 men each were fed with six pints of beer within a one hour period. It was then observed that 100 percent of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, could not drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, had to sit down while urinating and refused to apologise when wrong.

No further test is planned.
