A total of 323 males with varying weekly alcohol intakes were tested in the study. Of the 323, 30 percent claimed to have 1-3 drinks a week, 30 percent said they had 4-7 drinks a week, and 30 percent reported having 8 or more drinks every week.
The results showed that men in the two groups with higher intakes of alcohol had “significantly higher sperm concentration” than those in the lesser category.
Not only that, but men who had 4-7 drinks a week also boasted “significantly higher median semen volume” than those who only had 1-3 a week.
So, if you’re looking to have children, or indeed just want to produce semen (because, why not?) perhaps it’s a good idea to up your beer intake.
Interestingly, the results also suggested that antioxidants from a compound found in beer hops, called Xanthohumol, protected sperm cells from damage … win!
Drink more beer, get more semen? We’ll certainly raise a glass to that (again, why not?).
