We're taking bets that I knew there was good news this week...

So, I wrote about a major tragedy a few days ago. I now at least a few of you teared up. A couple of you may have straight out bawled. Well I have some great news for all you beer drinkers. Beer may be the fountain of youth. Thank God for the Germans who just like Americans spend their time researching stupid things and come up with great results. Here is the story - Beer = Anti-Aging?

The one funny thing that I saw in the entire article was the fact that the company needed to say please be advised there is alcohol in this product. Duh. It isn't called milk. They probably should also say if you drink too much you might get drunk. Just a thought.

I hope everyone is doing well. Talk to you all soon.

Gregory,

I'm over at the Guinness website, http://www.guinness.com, and they have some interesting facts about their beer, too, such as:

* At 198 calories a pint GUINNESS® has fewer calories than a pint of skimmed milk or orange juice.
* Doctors once prescribed GUINNESS® as a cure for anemia and to help patients through their convalescence
* GUINNESS® used to be recommended to nursing mothers
* Children were once given a daily pint of weak ale rather than milk, which was thought to be contaminated by TB
* Beer is an ancient beverage that has been consumed as part of a balanced diet for centuries — it contains the goodness of sprouted grain extracted into a rich liquid and fermented to produce a nutritional "liquid cereal" beverage.
