Hemorrhoids : Hemorrhoids in men are usually caused by constipation and straining while having a bowel movement. I do not believe beer will cause hemorrhoids, however beer can cause gastritis or an ulcer which could result in blood in your stool. You should request to see a gastroenterologist for a possible colonoscopy and endoscopy to make sure nothing more serious than hemorrhoids are the cause of your bleeding. Also make sure you are screened for anemia. All the best.

Dr Kaplan agreed

Only if a LOT: Of beer. Cirrhosis of the liver can manifest with varicose veins of both the esophagus (gullet) and of the veins around the rectum (hemorrhoids). Your doctor can do blood tests for your liver, and if there is concern, do various kinds of scans on liver to determine if this is the problem. If you are a 'social' drinker (2 or fewer drinks per day), then this is less likely. Talk to your doctor.
