Drinker's Delight: Beer May Fight Disease Nov. 7, 2005 "Mmmm beer." This oft-repeated sentiment of Homer Simpson is a mantra for the millions of beer drinkers in the United States. As popular as beer is, however, it often has gotten a bad rap as a calorie-loaded beverage that only serves to create paunchy beer bellies and alcohol-fueled lapses in judgment. But that negative image may begin to fade: Research is showing that beer could join the ranks of other guilt-inducing but wildly popular foods chocolate, coffee and red wine as a possible disease-fighter. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=1282177 YES!
Problem is that the Scotch industry is not "funding" any "research" the way wine, coffee, and chocolate industries do.
I've long suspected that beer is no worse for you than soda. They have similar calorie contents, but one is loaded with sugar. The worst hangover I've ever gotten in my life was from drinking eight Dr. Peppers in a row, God, I thought I was going to die the next day.
I have long believed these words to be more than mere slogans: Guinness is good for you Guinness for strength
