Beer Found to be as Healthy as Wine
Matt Clare writes "Researchers at the University of Western Ontario (Canada) recently found that beer has the same positive qualities that wine has previously been found to have. The media release quotes professor John Trevithick, 'We were very surprised one drink of beer or stout contributed an equal amount of antioxidant benefit as wine, especially since red wine contains about 20 times the amount of polyphenols as beer.' For more info on how beer helps police harmful free radicals in blood, The London Free Press also has an article."

After the Great Britain Beer Festival, in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.
The guy from Corona sits down and says, "Hey Senor, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.
The guy from Budweiser says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser." The bartender gives him one.
The guy from Coors says, "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." He gets it.
The guy from Guinness sits down and says, "Give me a Coke." The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered.
The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask "Why aren't you drinking a Guinness?" and the Guinness president replies, "Well, I figured if you guys aren't drinking beer, neither would I."

1 drink of wine = 1 glass 1 drink of beer = 1 pony keg. I personally prefer the weight of the glass, but some may prefer the durability of the keg. But really a pint of beer vs. a glass of wine is hardly comparable at least from a calorie standpoint.
So just make sure your two beers are both liters/quarts!

Further, after about 4 or 5 more beers, who cares!
You can have my cynical agnosticism when you pry it from my cold, dead logic.
Do you trust Labatts with this "science"?
The study was funded by beermakers Guinness and Labatt
Or was it, 'The study funded beermakers Guiness and Labatt'?
With beer being healthy for you, and recent studies showed that mice who became under the influence of pot had less cancer growth...I'm glad to say I live a healthy life style.

Red Grape Juice. I lack propper sources, but apparently red grape juice is just as good with the free radicals as wine was found to be.
That's because Red Grape Juice, when it's 100% juice, is just red wine that's been pasteurized to kill the yeast and boil off the alcohol.

That reminds me of my driver's education teacher (many years ago) who shared his views with us that he doesn't drink anything unhealthy like beer or soda-pop. Of course I had to make the comment: "so that's a lemonade-belly you got there?".
can't sleep. clowns will eat me.
Yeah, but those are canadian beers, right? That means you either drink a third of a german beer, or six american beers...

;) .. Even so I wish I'd had an idea like this for my final year!
I imagine the research was a real bind
Im thinking of doing some research into proving that an end of night curry or chilli kebab helps prevent a killer hangover. Anyone care to sponsor me ?

Whiskey has an even better buzz to calorie ratio.
In fact, if you drink enough, the shakes will help burn more calories.

hehe. That reminds _me_ of a time I was eating a ham sandwich when some long haired alternative lifestyle type sat down and started lecturing me on how I was "poisoning my body by consuming dead animal flesh".
Of course, while he was sternly lecturing me about the evils of pork products, he was busy constructing a roll-your-own cigarette for himself.
The cognitive dissonance of some people is truly amazing.
"You can't fight in here, this is the war room!"
If you pour your whiskey over ice, your body will have to burn calories to warm it upon drinking... if it's cold enough, you might lose weight by drinking!
(this sound like a good plan after 2-3 drinks)
This is great news! I am immediately going to go out and drink as much beer as possible before they change their minds and decide beer is bad for you again.
Time makes more converts than reason
Yea, but it's hard to beat main-lining heroin for a really good buzz to calorie ratio.

a minimum of 16 oz of beer per hour, which means three hours of drinking is the equivalent of a McDonalds extra-value meal.
I can find those american "oz" and "calorie" units in my data book, but could you please convert "McDonalds extra-value meal" to the Système International? It's bad enough as it is.
