Beer Added To The Food Pyramid
Alehound writes " Beer Is Food: The US Government labeled beer(alcohol) as a drug, BeerAdvocate.com begs to differ as they inform their reader that beer can be a part of your diet in a healthy way. Beer does a body good? So the "Beer Gut" is a myth? So why the hell do I have a gut? And yes these guys do drink beer for breakfast." It's only 10 in the morning, I'm dumping out the half pot of coffee left, and cracking open a Boddingtons! Do it!
So why the hell do I have a gut? Just a thought but, do you sit in your chair from dusk till dawn? That could it be you know.
Finally I have a chance of getting to the top of something !!
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
I've decided to try one beer with each type of cereal I have in my cabinet. I can honestly say that my cereal is MUCH better with beer!
So are we going to start seeing the fancy labels which are on all the other foods? I wonder what they will consider the recommended serving size? Personaly,I would like to see them use 6 cans as the RDA.
I need no excuse to drink beer, but its nice to have one.
Now I have an excuse when I show up to work drunk...
"But beer, boss does the body good," I exclaim as I show my boss an upside down picture of the revised food pyramid.
What a suprise, beeradvocate.com is trying to promote beer.
/.?
What does advocate mean again?
And why is this news on
So the "Beer Gut" is a myth?
Much like a girlfriend if you keep suplementing with the physique enhancing beverage!
The ads for Low-Carb beer show fit-n-healthy folks in the middle of various inviogorating excercises. Alcohol may have some good effects on the body according to recent research, but the ads make beer look like Powerade for chrissake. Moderation is good. Preying on stupidity, suggesting that beer is healthy, is irresponsible.
On a similar note, I saw a print ad for Bud Light that showed a condensation-covered label; on that label was a strategically-placed water drop that just happened to make "Budweiser" look like "Bloweiser". Yeah right, just a coincidence. And no, I wan't looking for it.

So why don't you drink water and eat cereal and yeast?
Simple. Because you can't get drunk off of water, cereal, and yeast.
"...whiskey count as beer?"
Rock!
Cool, that means marijuana isn't a drug. There is no known letal dose for it.
A: It's fucking near water!

Save water -- Drink beer
Can't remember which ad this came from. Probably a German breakfast beer

Hahaha, your line "Buy my product" reminds me of video professor begging people to PLEASE buy his software and then trying to convince everyone how useful it is.

No chemicals at all? Perhaps you'd be interesting in signing a petition to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide? Just check out their FAQ...dangerous stuff! Plus, it's also IN BEER!
Oh yea, beer is just mostly empty carbs. Almost no nutritional value. At best, I'd put it down in the same category as 'snack food'.
Not sure where you are from, but in Australia, beer seems to put back in all the things beer leaches from my body - carbs, vitamins, essential minerals... and if you can combine it with greasy food, you have basically completely reversed any ill effects from the night before, come out ahead, and got the girl (even if she isn't so pretty now)...
Sorry about that rant. It's 1am and I just got home from the pub. Um, I look at this in the morning and maybe clarify a few things...
Cheers, mate!

In one episode of 'Cheers', Cliff is seated at the bar describing the
Buffalo Theory to his buddy, Norm. (I don't think I've ever heard the
concept explained any better than this....)
"Well you see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as
fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest
and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection
is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the
whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the
slowest brain cells.
Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But
naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this
way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making
the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you
always feel smarter after a few beers."

Molson XXX is like freaking moonshine, compared to bud. It's like 12% alcohol by volume or something like that.
7.3%. I've told you a million times not to exaggerate.
Beer also contibutes to "bitch tits". Seriously. The alcohol helps the body convert testosterone to estrogen. Men do actually have many of the same glands that femail brests have and the increased estrogen can change the shape of them.
I must drink beer.
Beer is the mind killer.
Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my beer.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me, and when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the beer is gone, there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
