Cool.

 

[Ace Bandage]

That's great. Now if it didn't taste like motor oil, I might consider drinking it. Give me a Bud Light over that any day.

USA! USA! USA!

 

[lurkingdirk]

It's a meal in a glass! :thumbsup:

AndyRy, your beer choice makes Jesus sad.

 

[biomech]

I always knew it. Gotta love Guinness, Nectar of the god's.

I was with you until you said Bud Light. Now I'm upset.

I have two bottles of Guinness in my 'fridge right now. Of course, I also have three heads and two human torsos.

Aha...so you ARE a homo after all....:thefinger

Does this count for all stouts (or porters (or whatever (assholes! mad))), or just Guinness? Because there are nicer ones out there if you do a little digging.

If it just happens to apply to Guinness and Guinness alone, we'd have to take a closer look at this studies funding...

I've been telling myself that for years!!!

It could just be the mineral content of the water used to brew Guiness. I have read in brewing books that Dublin has a high Bicarbonate count much like Burton upon Trent so perhaps you would get a similar result from studying the effects of beers brewed form those waters. :dunno:

I smell a rat. The same scientists are already brooding over the next study: Drisheen makes your dick bigger.

 

[BlueBalls]

My guess would be that it would have to do with the mineral content of the water. I have read in brewing books that Dublin has a high Bicarbonate count much like Burton upon Trent so perhaps you would get a similar result from studying the effects of beers brewed form those waters. :dunno:

You know what we've both learned here today sdj? It's always best to read further on in the article than the first two paragraphs.

The Wisconsin team tested the health-giving properties of stout against lager by giving it to dogs who had narrowed arteries similar to those in heart disease.

So judging by the language used in the article, it is stouts as a whole (probably best to read the actual study but who can be bothered with that, huh? ), even though in this case Guinness was the particular stout they used and I'm sure Guinness is going to play it up no end.

it is maybe more to be the iron content in the guiness

Foolish child.
Then again, if you've only drunk it in America I forgive you.

The Gods have awful taste :tongue:

 

[bustybbwlover]

i always knew a pint of it was good for the soul and apparently it's good for the heart too!...of course i tend to drink more than a pint of it when i drink

 

[larss]

Gimme a pint o' the black stuff anytime, preferably chilled and (most important of all), properly poured. Anyone just sticking a pint under the tap and filling the glass should have said glass anally inserted.
