I know this means nothing to anyone but me, but I really love good beer and haven't been able to indulge in even one for quite a few years. Yeah, it sux to age. My Dr. tells me that I have a atypical prostate. I suspect that it's the hops. I can drink hard liquor, but not beer and my Dr tells me that for most gents with this problem it's alcohol period. I drink a beer and my water worx shuts down. Do you know what that's like to have to urinate and not be able to? It's scary, and it's not something that one wants to repeat.
But this isn't about "boo hoo, crying my eyes out" for poor me.
As an experiment I took 4 "OO" saw palmetto caps the other day, then drank almost an entire 12 oz beer with no problems! That doesn't mean that I can imbibe to my hearts content, but I can once more enjoy a beer now and then at home. At one time I would come home from work and have a few steins on the deck before even thinking about dinner. It's amazing how one can work out the solutions for the world after a few home brews. Then I stopped with the homebrew and the entire world went to hell in a handbasket; or so it seems.
I can't drink enough beer to justify home brewing again (oh, they were truly excellent ales!), but a great beer now and then would be wonderful! I don't expect my imbibing now and then to solve world problems though.
