Female hormones such as oestrogen have been found in high concentrations in beer, with the inevitable result that some drinkers not only turn into women, they also develop signs of pregnancy. Heavy drinkers have been found with distended abdomens, a clear sign of what medical researchers are now calling pseudo ale pregnancy syndrome, or PAPS. Some of these men have also developed breast-like structures on their chests. This is relatively common in the UK and has become known as British Ale Breast Syndrome or BABS. Final proof - if any is needed - is the behaviour change which occurs when an otherwise ordinary man has consumed some eight or so pints of ale. He will invariably start to behave like a woman. These poor individuals talk nonsense, laugh at ridiculous things and loose the ability to drive. This is known as the Chatter and Prang syndrome, or CHAPS.
