Here's an article on the benefits of dark beer:

And based on this I think I will go get a beer.

well all those Irish are alright then! Guiness,Guiness,Guiness!

Eeerm.... when i drink beer, i'm trying to get drunk, and not thinking about my heartcondition. :D

lol, U got a good point there. Maybe when I'm getting drunk on saturday night Ill get some guiness instead, just for you Arvon! :D

"is dark brew because it can help prevent blood clots" Umm yeah. :rolleyes: That positive remark really outweighs all other consequences from drinking beer. I mean one could end up as johnny; cute, dang funny, simply a nice guy. And we wouldn't want that would we? [img]graemlins/confused2.gif[/img] :D

Seriously, if you believe this article and start drinking dark beer instead of light to lessen the chance of stroke, heart attack, thrombus etc. then you're just plain stupid. It's like saying "Nicotine is good for you so smoke all you want!" :rolleyes:

well anyway, I've heard bad things about Guiness! :D

I think it's like the red wine theory.... Moderation is always the word.

<font color=orange>Well, I don't know about and medicial values of Dark Beer, bout the taste is Superior to any other in my expert opinion. I love a good stout or porter. So Drink up all! :D
