THIS JUST IN: Sexual desire is genetic!
Extry! Extry! Read all about it!
How come they can't figure out if sexual preference is genetic with a similar study?
MS-NBC just said that this development may lead to the discovery of some wonder drug that can increase sexual desire! Boy, that'd be a breakthrough! That'd be worth at least a million dollar grant if someone could just figure that one out!

Re: THIS JUST IN: Sexual desire is genetic!
What's all this "six-pack" talk? There's clearly only three of them.
*sips on budweiser*
Yes, it's crap. My bf likes it though (we actually toured the st. louis brewery this last weekend.)

In your case, Duke, (based on the posts of yours I've read) it's probably more than 30% genetic.

It might have half-a-percent more alcohol, at most.

Iowa beer is only 3.2%. Bud Ice (and Icehouse et al) is 5.6. You can always drive to Missouri and get 6% regular beer, though. Just a hop, skip and a jump from here, really.

3.2%?! That is insane. 3.2% would barely pass for water here!

Re: THIS JUST IN: Sexual desire is genetic!
Go to Europe where they make real beer. Three bottles there and you are flying high. They put more alcohol in thier beer. And it doesn't taste like your horse has diabetes, either.

Pilsener is supposed to be only 3-4% alcohol.
Brewers Association/Charie Papazian wrote:
German-Style Pilsener
A classic German Pilsener is very light straw or golden in color and well hopped. Hop bitterness is high. Noble-type hop
aroma and flavor are moderate and quite obvious. It is a well-attenuated, medium-bodied beer, but a malty residual sweetness
can be perceived in aroma and flavor. Low levels of sweet corn-like dimethylsulfide (DMS) character, if perceived, are
characteristic of this style. Fruity esters and diacetyl should not be perceived. There should be no chill haze. Its head should
be dense and rich.
Original Gravity (oPlato):
1.044-1.050 (11-12.5 oPlato)
Apparent Extract/Final Gravity (oPlato):
1.006-1.012 (1.5-3 oPlato)
Alcohol by Weight (Volume):
3.6-4.2% (4-5%)
Bitterness (IBU): 30-40
Color SRM (EBC): 3-4 (6-8 EBC)
It's a paradox of how sharply dull I am.

When you say sexual preference, are you referring to preference as in "I like blondes, but not brunettes" or orientation as in "I like guys and not girls"?
If its the later, they do have studies which conclude that it is genetic.
