5 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Date A Man Who Takes Alcohol

Calm down. I know as a man, you take down a few pints in the evening just to 'cool off' and you want to attack me, but chill. I promise I have some good points. Ladies, if you are dating someone who drinks, do yourself a favour and dump them immediately. And if you are single, find yourself a man who doesn't drink and live happily ever after. Here's why:

1. The Beer Belly

Beer intake leads to the beer belly. You know, that distended stomach that men take pride in and shouldn't for two main reasons. The first; who wants to be lifting a man's belly to get to the goodies? The second and more serious reason, a beer belly increases a man's risk of cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer. Who wants to be stuck with a sick man who brought these diseases upon himself because he was always guzzling?

2.Men Who Drink Tend To Be Physically Abusive

I know, alcohol doesn't make a man abusive. But it does impair judgment. A man who has been drinking is likely to cause more harm to a woman than a sober man. Psychologists believe that men like drinking when they are angry. Imagine the combination of alcohol and anger. Won't that man finish a woman? Stay safe, avoid a man who drinks.

3. Men Who Drink Are Forgetful.

They tend to drink to forget their real and imagined problems and in the process they forget everything else. He won't remember your anniversary, he won't remember that you were supposed to meet. Heck, you're lucky if he remembers your name. Do you want to date someone who'll forget that you are getting married? I don't think so.

4. Men Who Drink Get Ugly Fast

If you are an excessive drinker, chances are you will start losing your hair. I am not just babbling here, research has proven this. Furthermore, drinking on the regular will not only lead to weight gain but also the appearance of thread veins on the face. Imagine a thirty-year-old man looking like he is about to collect his pension. Who wants to get stuck with that?

5. A Man Who Drinks Becomes Less Of A Man.

Research has proven that excessive consumption of alcohol lowers a man's sperm count and testosterone levels, which, for those who don't know, is the male hormone. And as if that isn't enough drinking too much can make a man develop erectile problems and, wait for it, shrunken genitals! I swear! Google it! Ladies, do you want that? Do you?

So sure, he takes small amounts of alcohol every day, but do you want to take that chance?
