Beer and watermelons

Summertime is a great season to enjoy ice-cold beer and watermelon! That is if your grandma is not watching. Masama daw mag-halo ang beer at pakwan ayon sa mga nakakatanda. I grew up hearing this one at picnic tables and though I ask why, the elders would just say, it won't hurt to follow what they tell you.

What's amazing about this "kasabihan", is that even in Japan, I have been told by C that beer and watermelons usually do not mix. Pareho ano?! I asked her why... it's what the elders say. Is there a scientific explanation to this belief? I tried googling for an answer and I have not found a convincing one yet.

Honestly I did not feel anything after beer and watermelons.
