Bad analysis: Beer drinking

Post Reply New Topic

Beer will give you a beer belly.

But isn’t it the case that you people with bear belly like bear more then those who do not.

Think about this, most old middle aged white men have extreme apple shapes and young black girls have extreme pear shapes. In this country there is a strong contrast between how much bear that those 2 types will drink.

From this it is possible conclude that as one gets older and more apple shaped as a result they will acquire more taste for beer.

What?

MY BRAIN HURTS

Body shape dictates the likelyhood of liking bear.

You cannot drink a large carnivorous mammal whole.

Are you saying fat people drink pureed bear meat?

What else could he be saying Flagg? I mean, really, most of the fat people I know drink pureed bear meat. You haven't heard of it?

I assumed he meant beer not bear.

The beer causes the body shape, not the other way around. This is the bad logic.
Although we cannot discount the possibility that body shape is a factor in showing propensity for beer.

And the sky is blue? Anyone who likes something more then the next person is either going to be more 'fat' or 'intelligent' on the topic.

O crap my bad spelling

It does say "Bad analysis" Perhaps this was, for some reason, intentional?

its like saying bullies causes bad social skills, because ppl w/ bad social skills where bullied as a child. yet they where bullies because of their bad social skills

No, don't worry. Your misspelling of "beer" was awesome!! !

I honestly do not believe that there is any actual correlation between the shape of a person's body and their likelihood to enjoy beer. Beer, like any other food if you really think about it, is an aquired taste which some people enjoy and some people don't. The more beer one has consumed the more likely said individual is to actually enjoy the flavor. Thus, it makes sense that younger individuals will tend to dislike the taste of it while older individuals enjoy it.

Can you explain why in this country that black people tend not to drink as much as bear compared to white men. And why is there still a contrast between old black woman and old white men.

First I what that black people could not afford to go on regular benders but some blacks like African immigrant have much more money then say most scousers up north.

I know that it isn’t considered gay in black culture for a man to consume mixed spirits instead of beer.

It isn't 'gay' in any culture for someone to consume mixed spirits instead of beer. Also, drinking isn't always about getting plastered, ala "benders."

To answer your question the best way I think I know how, different races tend toward different race-based cultures. Jewish people tend to be apart of the jewish culture, black people tend toward being a part of black cultures, et cetera and so forth. All people are different, all people are individiuals, and there is no way to predict what type of person someone is based on their race. Period. To do so is prejudice and/or discrimination depending on the sevarity of the assumption.

You need to control for confounding variables and reverse causality before making conclusions.

body shape (including fat deposit patterns) is genetically determined. Women are more likely to have the 'pear' shape (im not sure if race is a factor). The source of calories AFAIK doesnt make any difference to where fat is deposited, neither does doing particular exercises*

*this is called the 'spot reduction myth' in personal training - the idea that doing (for instance) situps will magically burn fat deposits from around the stomach.

My roommate drinks beer, and I like him a lot!

Albeit he does drink responsibly though!
