here are a couple of reasons why beer is the greatest invention in the history of mankind...
beer makes you smart: We already know that beer doesn't actually make you fat but rather fights cancer while promoting world peace and understanding and a brighter future for all our children.
It's no surprise then that we can now confirm what the super-intelligent if somehat wobbly hacks at Vulture Central have known for years: alcohol makes you cleverer.

beer will protect you from cancer: Scientists at Okayama University in Japan have rather agreeably discovered that unidentified compounds in lager and stout may help to prevent DNA damage leading to cancer.
Some cancers are apparently provoked by heterocyclic amines - "DNA-damaging chemicals found in cooked meat and fish", New Scientist reports. The university team fed mice these compounds, and then noted that "the DNA damage to their liver, lungs and kidneys was reduced by up to 85 per cent if the mice drank non-alcoholic beer instead of water".
Lead boffin Sakae Arimoto-Kobayashi reckons the beer-borne chemicals "prevent the amines binding to and damaging DNA". Naturally, if they can pinpoint the beneficial compounds in question, brewers will be able to concoct cancer-battling superbrews.

the effects of beer will save your life: HEALTH NEWS - It's called a beer belly or a spare tire, but it turns out all that flab could actually save your life.
Researchers now say men with a so-called "beer gut" are more likely to survive a serious traffic crash than those with a more slender tummy.
But, there is a cut-off point in terms of one's health. That cut off point is when a big stomach becomes so big it becomes unhealthy.
The study found that women involved in car crashes do not benefit from a larger tummy like men.
