Rejoice! The "Beer Belly" is just a myth!!!

You're not fat because you drink beer. You're fat because you're lazy. Finally! The truth comes out. Now, I don't have to feel so bad about partaking in my favorite libation. Granted, I've lost an excuse for why I'm carrying an extra 20 lbs. around with me, but who cares. It's not beer's fault. And, for that I'm happy. Obviously I'm not happy that I'm overweight. I'm happy that beer doesn't have to take the fall.

A new report by someone who does scientific things says that wine is much, much worse for you than beer (which is cause for concern, since I drink wine too ... but I digress). And orange juice is even worse that wine! And, that's a fruit.



Beer has fewer calories per 100ml than wine, spirits, and even orange juice, it is claimed. 
“Unfortunately beer has this image as a high-calorie, high-fat drink,” Dr O’Sullivan told The Times. “It is very unfair.” 
The report “Beer & calories; a scientific review” points out that the drink contains vitamins, fibre, and antioxidants and minerals such as silicon which may help to lower your risk of osteoporosis. 


Look at that - vitamins, fibre, antioxidants and minerals ... beer is like a health drink. Throw out the Green Tea. I'm drinking beer.

Check out the full article from The Telegraph, here. It's even in their Health section. Now, I may be jumping to conclusions here, but for me that's all I need to know...


BEER IS HEALTHY. SCIENCE PROVED IT.


T-shirt idea? Maybe. I'll be wearing mine in an Xtra-Small, because with the way I drink I'll be shedding the lbs. fast as lightning.




Cheers!
