What do you think? I can't say I've experienced any issues with hoppy beers.

"Precautions

The hops in beer are responsible for an unfortunate condition in men known in German herbal medicine as "beer drinker's droop," or erectile dysfunction. Avoiding excessive consumption of beer or hops helps men retain potency."

Really hoppy beers make me tired, but that's the only problem with them....

:off:I think I have a slight allergy to hops, any time I have a real hoppy beer, including the APA I recently brewed, I have mad sinus pressure the following morning.

Doesn't stop me from drinking hoppy beers, just an self-observation.

BTW Yooper, nicely done!
 
I think I get droopy when I'm drunk in the same sense that I can fall down a flight of stairs and not feel anything. But when I'm not drunk? Nope.
 
I have an allergy to hops too I think. The more I drink hoppy beers, the more I want hoppy beers.

And I'd get a prescription to Viagra before I'd give up IPAs.
 
Thats not exactly the effect I remember seeing after consuming mass amounts of beer in college.
