Charles Bamforth is the "Anheuser-Busch endowed professor" at UC Davis and a hero to beer aficionados everywhere. He recently explained that beer "contains valuable B vitamins, such as B12, folic acid and niacin, as well as antioxidants, such as polyphenols and ferulic acid" That's good enough for me. I'm replacing my morning vitamins and oatmeal with a tall glass of beer and... another tall glass of beer.

Pregnant women and nursing mothers were at one stage advised to drink Guinness - the present advice is against this.

By adhering to a strict diet of cheap beer and coffee, I fully expect to be certifiably invincible.
It's a shame that I'll never be able to retire though.
