This paper presents an analysis of four Brazilian beer advertising of the brand Antarctica ”“ respectively the years 1910, 1940, 2004 and 2006 ”“ under the bias of the French Discourse Analysis in dialogue with Barthes’ semiology. The analysis allows to undestand that sex emergence in beer advertising marks a rupture in the historical march: the sensuous female body was not be there since always. The erotized body is a “recent creation” possible by the distension of religious morality. By the contrast between 1910/30’s and 2004/06’s ads, our objective is to demonstrate that eroticized/muscular/sculpted body is absent from beer advertisements in a not so far historical period.
