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.

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.

Presidential etiquette shows you should be extending that pinky finger even with the stouty beers.

Someone got paid to drink Guinness to put together this study.

Maybe someone else can get paid to drink a whole variety of stouts (some flavored with cholocate, vanilla, bourbon, etc.) to challenge the findings of this one.

"I Had six Guinness draughts today."

"That goes in your permanent record..."
