Science Says Drinking Guinness Makes You Bitter Health

Next time you and your friends are our for a pint, maybe hold off on the dark stout. As tempting as it might be in this wintry weather, scientists have recently released a study suggesting that stout beer, Guinness in particular, might make you bitter. The study links tart and bitter tastes with, you guessed it, a tart and bitter mind.

When consumed in “delicate situations,” bitter drinks might lead people to “voicing thoughts they’ll later regret.” The study asked people to rate certain scenarios on how morally questionable they were. Those with bitter drinks were much harsher on the subject of each scenario.

Other drinks that might have this effect are gin and tonics, which means I need to find replacements for two of my favorite drinks. I’m pretty bitter about it.

Good grief.

Had six Guinness draughts today.

All is right with the world.

Guess I’ll drink those multi-colored, fruity drinks with the tiny umbrellas in them then. And stick my pinky finger out while drinking it.

But Guinness is delicious.

As soon as I’m wealthy enough to support it, I’m becoming a hermit.

I consider Guinness a desert beer. Guinness and chocolate fondue is pretty good.

They’ll get my Guinness (and my Chimay and my Old Peculier and my - well, you get the idea) when they pry them from my cold, drunken hands.

Whenever I see something that says, “Science says”, I want to speak to Science and ask how it came up with such utter bullshit.

I prefer medium-dark beer. I think Guinness is too syrupy and dark.

Sam Adams Light is just perfect. That and Spotted Cow made here in WI.

“When consumed in “delicate situations,” bitter drinks might lead people to “voicing thoughts they’ll later regret.”

LOL. I’ve got scars to prove that happens with other forms of alcohol.

Guinness Extra Stout drunk with a hot curry, culinary perfection.

I’d have to search for the recipe, but I made a chocolate cake with Guinness and it was the best cake I’ve had. Ever.

I drink Guinness Stout, triple-hopped Ales and heavily peated Islay Single Malt Scotches. I eschew anything labelled "Lite" and I don't drink any stinking Merlot! Drink like a man or step away from the bar!

I'm not "bitter" although the Marxist Maggot in the White Hut has branded me and like-thinking patriots as "Bitter Clingers."

I stand in opposition to the Chardonnay drinking, prevaricating, blood-sucking poseurs now in power in our beloved Nation!

Cast a Cold eye on Life, on Death! Horseman, pass by!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Hermit?

"Hermit hoar, in solemn cell,
Wearing out life’s evening gray;
Smite thy bosom, sage, and tell,
What is bliss, and which the way?
Thus I spoke; and speaking sigh’ed;
Scarce repressed a starting tear;
When the smiling sage reply’d
Come, my lad, and drink some beer."

Samuel Johnson

Two thumbs up! (And two toe “thumbs” up too!)

“Had six Guinness draughts today.”

If they weren’t Irish pints, you din’t have enough!

[blueunicorn6]

Well, if drinking a bitter beer makes you bitter, then I’m going to drink a Dr Pepper and buy a stethoscope.

“Sam Adams Light is just perfect...”

Might as well drink Bud Lite...
