I stopped at a local convenience store on my way home today to get me something to chew. I was in line behind a feller who was buying a lot of beer -- two twelve-packs of Bud and a six-pack of Killian's -- and two mousy gals who were buying cigs and diet sodas. As soon as the beer-buying guy exited the store, Mousy Gal 1 told Mousy Gal 2 this (and this is a di-rect quote): "Beer is so bad for you. Why would anybody drink it?"
Well, Mousy Gal 1, this is why folks like, nay, should drink beer:
"There have been a lot of stories lately about the benefits of alcohol, usually wine. But the good news is that many of those great benefits can also be had by drinking the occasional beer. That little bottle of goodness can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, raise your good cholesterol, and reduce your risk of developing high blood pressure. There are even benefits for the elderly -- with research showing that beer can have positive effects on blood flow, sleep, and urination.
"Beer is fat free, cholesterol free, and definitely what many people consider a lot of fun to drink. Just make sure you don't go overboard, or all those "benefits" are right out the window -- with nasty stuff like liver damage and a beer gut stepping in instead."
