| Say it ain't so - Alcohol Free Beer is Good for you New research suggests that alcohol-free beer has the same cardiovascular benefits as the hard stuff -- without courting the risk of abuse according to a recent German study. So-called "fake" beer has a significant role in decreasing blood clot creation and as has have half the calories of alcoholic ales. Beer brings benefits such as higher HDL (good) cholesterol, lower blood pressure and decreased stroke risk thanks to compounds -- polyphenols, B vitamins, resveratrol, and non-alcoholic byproducts of fermentation. So have an NA brew and try to feel good about it. ---------------------------- Drink Beer - Get Fired Dozens of auto workers in Detroit were caught on camera drinking beer and smoking marijuana before heading to work at the same Chrysler plant that President Obama recently praised in a speech. An investigation showed workers at Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit, Mich., drinking & smoking while on a half-hour lunch break at a nearby park. The secret video -- filmed over several weeks was based on tips from workers at the plant. On seeing the footage, outraged Chrysler executives promptly fired all involved. |
| You don't say..... Andre the Giant, professional wrestler, once drank 119 beers (standard 12-ounce) in a 6 hour stretch. That's one every 3 minutes. Afterwards he passed out in his hotel hallway ------------------ Steven Petrosino holds the World Record for drinking 1 liter of beer in 1.3 seconds at the Gingerbreadman in Carlisle, PA, USA. The previous record was held by Peter Dowdeswell of the UK, who drank 1 liter in 2.3 seconds ------------------------- Jim Finlayson of Victoria, British Columbia holds the record time of 5 minutes, 09 seconds for completing the fastest Beer Mile. Competitors must consume a 355 ml can of beer before running each lap, for a total of 4 laps of a 400m track -------------------------- At a London brewery in 1814, a vat containing more than 100,000 gallons of ale exploded, sending the beer rushing down the street through poor residential areas. It destroyed two houses and one pub, killing nine people in the process. However, one of those people only had himself to blame. When the beer settled into the gutters, people, enticed by free booze (even if it did have bits of road in it), rushed to the streets to drink it. A gentleman indulged a little too much and died from alcohol poisoning the next day. |
