AskElle: That’s What She Said

Dear Elle,

Why don’t girls like beer?

Dear J,
Why don’t girls like beer? Because we can’t pee standing up, and the instances in which only beer is provided, are instances where a toilet isn’t a given accessory. For example: tailgates, camping, and bonfires. A man must have had the stupid idea of lugging a 30 pack into the woods for these events. No woman would ever think, “I want to get drunk in the woods, lets bring alcohol with the lowest alcohol percentage and largest liquid volume.

Besides the fact that beer = overactive bladder syndrome, I like to reserve beer for activities like eating wings and at the end of multiple rounds of liquor. I think other women do this as well. It’s not that we don’t like beer (although, some do). it’s just that beer isn’t our stand by. Plus, there are other things to consider, like looking classy.  Nothing screams “trashy” like seeing a woman in a formal dress swigging out of a beer bottle (or two). The answer here is really sort of – it’s not that we don’t like beer, it’s that we only like it sometimes. As I’m sure you know, women are fickle.
