Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have found that a pint of stout at meal times may work just as well in preventing heart attacks as taking low-dose aspirin every day.

A study comparing the blood-thinning effects of beer found that Guinness is far superior in reducing blood clots than lager.

I rather like Murphy's stout better than Guinness. I wonder if it has the same effects?

I'm willing to give it a shot. I'll check back in 20 years. <buuuuurrrrp>

The Guinness-drinking dogs were found to receive the most health benefit.

Does it work if you're not a dog?
