I had same experience, it pains to to say. Because I love beer and drank it much of my life. However, it really blows up my belly.

I've switched to red wine and hard seltzer like White Claw and Truly. BTW, Truly is owned by the Boston Beer Co., the same outfit that makes my namesake Samuel Adams beer.

Now these hard seltzers are considered "girly drinks" I know but bear in mind that beer contains female hormones and men who drink a lot of beer start growing breasts.

Now that's a hard truth.
