Hell yeah.....I'll take that one to the bank. Time to hit the local bar tonight! Heheh But before we all rush off to the pub for a lifesaving pint, some unanswered questions remain. New Scientist notes that heavy boozing is responsible for around six per cent of cancers in the West. Since the mice were refreshed with non-alcoholic beer, the scientists cannot confirm that "moderate consumption of normal beer has any anti-cancer benefits".

[bassman]

Yeah yeah, I read the article. It just made me feel slightly better about the plans I had already made to hit the bar after work. Hell, just the fact that it MIGHT be of some help(aside from getting a buzz) is good enough for me.

So if I took up drinking and kept smoking I could fight off the cancer with Lager.

[MaximusIncredulous]

It's about time one of these indulgences were labled "good for you".

[MikePizzoff]

When don't I have a beer? It's about time there's a slight possibility it can benefit me in at least one way.

On the one day that I decide not to drink and someone posts this.

remember eggs are good, eggs are bad,eggs are good, eggs are bad,eggs are good, eggs are bad? Its still flip flopping. I give that a big fat whatever Reason why it keeps going back in forth is that they are both right..... eggs good in some cases....bad in others....etc....It will be difficult for them to figure out if there are more positive attributes than negative ones

Ice cold Dr Pepper is a fantastic substitute for beer but I get a bit fed up with soft drinks by the second pint. Now beer, I can sink 15 of those suckers easy.
