It supposedly does because of the hops. But the hops are processed before it's put into beer, and it no longer has the same properties at that point. Also, alcohol really dries your body out, so it is best to avoid it if possible. I've only been drinking maybe once a week lately, usually less. And beer all of a sudden is starting to taste awful to me, too. :/ I'm just not the same kind of drinker I used to be when I was 18. ^^;

I read that it's possible for alcohol to cause an increase in aromatase, so wouldn't that make it good for NBE?
This study is on postmenopausal women: http://jcem.endojournals.org/content/90/3/1414.full
But there are other studies on the effect of alcohol on aromatase and other sex hormone levels.
