have a better chance of earning a higher salary than
non drinkers. The survey showed that being a
teetotaller could hinder your chances of promotion and
along with it a well earned pay raise.
The study surveyed 17,000 people born in Britain in
1958 and suggests that socializing with workmates and
colleagues leads to higher earnings, bonuses and
promotions. It could be that people who don't go for a
drink with their colleagues after work are not seen as
part of the gang, and this lack of 'social networking'
works against them when it comes to career
advancement. And when you get that raise remember
to use the extra money to buy more beer!
Australia has more than

Brewer Beats Purity Law - A German court has upheld a brewer's
challenge to the country's centuries-old beer purity laws. The ruling means Helmut
Fritsche's Klosterbrauerei Neuzelle brewery can continue adding sugar syrup to its
dark brew and still call it "beer". Mr Fritsche's brewery adheres to the
Reinheitsgebot purity law during fermentation. He argued that the purity law stifled
the creativity of small brewers and should be eased.
New Logo and Slogan - Miller revamped the logo on Milwaukee's Best and
plans to run humorous television spots for Milwaukee's Best Light saying "a man
should act like a man and a light beer should taste like a beer." It will be the first time
it will actively promote the low-price brand on television in nearly a decade. It is also
reviving its Girl in the Moon - an image that has been on bottles of its former
flagship beer High Life since 1907 - in advertisements, replacing the "High Life Man."
