I have an alcoholic brother who drinks beer CONSTANTLY...even while driving (!!!); & over the summer he completed radiation treatments for prostate cancer. Go figure. The good news is that he quit smoking so he would be able to get his wife’s insurance to pay for it.

Didn’t work for me. I consumed much beer in my younger days but developed prostate cancer by age 50. I had surgery and am doing fine. Doc says something else will be my demise.

Bad beer. We must drink beer fast to prevent iceburgers from smelting.

My dad had prostate cancer. It was treated successfully.

He’s drank enough beer to float a battleship.
