Beer prevents cancer.. wine aids in longevity and protects against Alzheimers'.. a good whisky helps digestion and clears the mind..

I always knew alcohol was good for you..

I'm off to get a prescription from the local sawbones for a ' minimum dose' of anti-cancer remedy, though I might be cutting back on my intake as a case of beer holds 24 bottles/cans so 17 is a reduction in intake , which, I suppuise, helps reduce my calorie intake and aids in weightloss..

a win-win scenario if I hear saw one..

Beer Ingredient May Fight Prostate Cancer
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - A main ingredient in beer may help prevent prostate cancer and enlargement, according to a new study. But researchers say don't rush out to stock the refrigerator because the ingredient is present in such small amounts that a person would have to drink more than 17 beers to benefit.

yeah, 17 beers. And their point would be? As Weatherman1956 says, OK THEN.

And now coffee is good for your liver!

And frequent sex prevents colon cancer!

Now, if they just find some health benefit related to Skoal, all my vices are now "good for me"!

So here's the regimen, right?

A rack of brew nightly for the prostate.

Copious coffee next morning to offset the side effects of the beer and so protect the liver.

Sex with the wife or gf twice daily, both aided and abetted by the beer (she gets some too) and the coffee, for a good healthy colon.

Repeat dosage as needed.

Dammit, nothing is more important than a healthy lifestyle.

(Please find the article linking colon health and sex--I need to show it to someone.)

If you excuse me, im gonna go save my life now...

Well, the original article I read was fairly lengthy and full of medical jargon.....This one gets straight to the point!
