Now that Bulgaria has joined the European Union, some of the previously high taxes on Bulgarian goods have been eliminated. Bulgaria is known for having good wine, but it is beer that has people from other EU countries flocking to the stores to buy it now that some of the taxes have been lifted. Boza beer apparently claims to help women's breasts grow larger.
Upon hearing of its claims, your first thought might be why taxes would matter, since there are surely people who would pay anything for a product - let alone a beer - that could do that. The following thought, of course, would be about how accurate this claim is.
Boza is made from fermented wheat and/or millet and has a low alcohol content. The original recipe has been around for thousands of years and dates back to Pre-Ottoman Turkey. It has always been considered to be a very healthy drink, a "warming and strengthening beverage" with approximately 1,000 calories per liter. For comparison, milk has about 630 calories per liter.
It is unlikely that Boza actually does increase the size of women's breasts, although with the high number of calories it contains, it is certainly possible that it could cause weight gain in general if enough is consumed.

In Bulgaria there is regular beer and to some point its as good as the beer in other countries, though with more alcohol in it.
Boza does contain some very little alcohol in it but it has nothing to do with beer. And unlike beer, it is very sweet and dense. Quality brewed boza has almost the consistency of yoghurt. Low-quality boza has a lot of cocoa and water added and tastes much like cocoa.
The only similarity with beer is the price, which in Bulgaria is almost the same for both.

This got nothing, nothing with the beer !! Absoluting nothing ! This is a traditional drnk here, and it usually goes with the breakfast perfectly! However if you drink it 2 days after it has been produced, the taste is totally different from it'soriginal one! And as much as you drink it, your boobs will stay as small as they are, sorry ! it goes only for the male's organs between the legs, eheheheheh !! So sorry to read about this sweet drink in 2007, and you can also be sorry if never tasted it !
