During Lockdown I have been drinking Ales rather than my normal Foosties. Things like Banana Bread Beer, Heather Ale, 7 Giraffes, Lundin Pride, etc, anyway youse get the idea.

I am convinced my fingernails grow quicker when I drink ales compared to Foosties.

Are there any scientists experts in this field out there able to help?

Apparently 'biotin' helps with nail growth and it is found in brewers yeast. Is there biotin in your drink? No idea.

I did ask for expert advice not the advice of someone who finishes his contribution with "No Idea".

I knew it was a mistake to ask this Message Board.

Real men are Guinness men.

Maybe the ales greater alcohol content is causing dehydration so your skin is shrivelling giving the appearance of your nails growing quicker

You sure you’ve not been dipping your fingers in toothpaste, Maxy?

(Check out all the loon sites for this batsh!t nail-growing tip).

A lot of people are saying that dipping your fingers in toothpaste can fight this virus. A tremendous amount of people. So that's maybe something we should be looking at

None of the Ales have a higher alcohol content than Foosties. Thanks for trying.

Could it be a Pinocchio effect?

Are the ales bottles or cans ?

If i had a pint of Guiness & a Pint of Murphys in front of me
Id pour the Guiness in an Animal feeding trough &
Taste a proper drop of porter with the Murphys

I think your nails grow quicker in the springtime than at other times of the year, so the phenomenon you're noticing is co-incidental to your change in ale habits.

Bottles.

There is the problem

Opening tins puts stress on the nails which will weaken them & they break away

Bottles dont have the same problem so will grow far quicker .

Compounds the scientific theory

Hair, teeth & nalis on fingers & thumbs all made
of the same thing.
