Eyes rolling to the back of my head on the idea that beer is "toxic masculinity". Some people just like bitter flavors. My entire family drinks black coffee, so I always have. Maybe genetic or learned behavior but no one's trying to prove anything at the breakfast table lol.

Huge fan of good/craft beers (and not just IPAs) so I'm a but defensive on that take. There's such a wide range of flavors to experience and trying something new is a big part of the enjoyment. Same goes for wine, cheese, or any "luxury" food really.
