Not all of them. The Koran only prohibits date wine, not alcohol in general.

Yes, I live in a muslim country and drinking any kind of alcohol (not only date wine as david said) is prohibited. so you can obey and worship God properly. alcohol is a sin. so if religious police (mutawa) find you having a beer you'll spend the rest of the night in jail. I LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY
However, the source was talking about blood pressure not alcohol. plus not all Arabs are Muslims, there are Christians Jews and the most importantly and the minority I like are atheists.

I don't know about women, but it will for men.

The estrogenic compounds in hops are very similar to human estrogen. Anecdotal stories from the late 1800's are of women all menstruating 3 days after harvest began and men starting lactation. Then there's "brewer's drop", which doesn't refer to the beer belly...

Very true. Hops contains phyto-estrogens ("plant estrogens") and in botanical medicine can be used in conjunction with other herbs to balance female hormones. On the plus side, hops are quite calming and good for digestion (especially indigestion due to anxiety). I'm not sure which of those properties transfer over to beer, but those are its uses in alcohol tinctures.
