Title: Can beer cause impotence?
Post by: Alexander Tkachev on 09/05/2011 16:01:03

Alexander Tkachev  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Dear Chris,

I've got question that bothering me: is it true that beer is harmful to the male impotence? To what extent constant consumption of beer ruins it?

Thank you for the show.

Alexander, Moscow, lawyer, 35 years old.

What do you think?
