Beer drinkers might have wanted it to be true, but now there is research showing that beer might actually be good for you.

Scientists at Oregon State University say a unique compound in beer hops called "Xanthohumol" apparently inhibits enzymes that cause cancer

Sounds good to me :cheers: ! Though, the lack of hops in many modern drinks lessens the good impact of this
 
A Pint a day keeps the doctor away!

Yeah, but to much and it does the opposite.
 
Aha, ...

Doctor: You have cancer, lol.
Cancer Guy: D: What will be the remedy?
Dcotor: Beer, lol.
Cancer Guy: \o/

Wow, now I can tell my parents that Saturday night I was helping prevent cancer... I just had a lot of catching up to do
 
So I've been protecting myself from cancer? Sweet.

The irony is that I've nearly died twice.
 
Pfff, it's the same old argument here. Sure, beer might be good for you in small doses, and thats fine, it's the binging that's bad.

*Cracks a tin open*

story time.
 
1st time - I drank myself into oblivion at age 14, lost all consciousness, had severe alcohol poisoning, and awoke in a hospital after frightening neighbors, stalking around their houses, passing out, and puking in a Porsche with leather interior. At the hospital I spent most my time screaming my head off at nurses and telling them to **** off and let me go home. I don't remember about 70% of that particular point of the experience. Apparently I also got pissed on by some person who was angry with me, stumbled into some kind of bush of nettles and had hives erupt all over my body, and smashed my head on the road. Oh, and as a result the little party in the woods was brought to an end as cops came to the scene.

2nd time - Tried to run from a busted party. Hopped onto a bike with my friend, sped down a hill, crashed, and remained unconscious for five minutes.

Scary stuff.
 
Times of my life. It was always great conversation material.

"Dude, you're the guy that got so ****in' wasted!"
"Yep. :D"
"OH MAN YOU ****ING ROCK"
"Thank you."
 
HA HAHA, reminds me of that Simpsons line,

"It looks like beer is pouring out of the roof chief"
"I am proceding on foot, better call in a two-nineteen"
"We need pretzles, i repeat we need pretzles"
*pant pant pant*

Hmm, Can't wait till i'm 18, till then i will just have to reduce the risk of prostate cancer

Hmmm i drink extremely rarely.
Small amounts of alcohol are good for you, despite it being toxic.
If your liver has very little toxins to process it becomes less efficient, a few beers now and again (2 pints a week say) will give you health benefits.
Liver function will actually improve.
 
I love drinking, started when i was 14 or 15 i think. got some bad ass alcohol poisoning when i was 16 but that was my fault, drank a quart of rum in half an hour, 6 beer, chugged 4 Rev's one after another. I blacked out and from there I guess my friends to me to a Wendys where I started screaming "Ni**ers!!" non stop and 4 guys tried to kick my ass, then i jumped on the hood of a car and fell off, puked in my friends car, and I guess i started puking blood at a gas station and passed out and I had to be taken to the hospital, oh and i stopped breathing for a while lol. when i went back to school people were coming up to me and saying shit like "man i heard you had brain damage" ahahaha i couldnt drink for months it just burned but now im good to go and fully support liquor :thumbs:
 
I couldn't touch alcohol for a good two months after my experience. Couldn't be around cigar smoke either because I would have these nauseating reactions, linking the smell back to that night.

I think that was the second time I had gotten proper drunk in my life. The first time I got almost as wasted and I sadly can't remember much of that night either. Started doing Nazi salutes and tried to burn the German flag in a room full of - whaddya know! - German people. Later that night when I sobered up a bit after being put to bed some person started a fight with me and I had no idea why. Then I found out later.

Nobody wanted to go drinking with me for quite a while after those two incidents. The host of the first party ****ing hated me. Ironically, we became best friends later (after I learned to take my liquor, that is).
 
I've only been really drunk once, when i was 15 at a village hall party thing.

A 3 litre bottle of rough farmhouse cider (9% or something, i live in somerset) 2 hofemeister beers, 2 shots of vodka.
I was crowned "the cider king" and was made a crown from the empty bottle.

Suprisingly i felt fine after drinking it all for about 10 mins (slightly drunk)
Then i started running at walls with a mate and it went on from there.

I had a fight with about 3 people and i really don't know who won or what happened but i ripped my shirt, then we all thought it would by funny to roll ourselves up in the rugs that were in the hall and then roll down the steps.....
This made me throw up the entire contents of my stomach whilst still inside the "carpet tube" not nice i can tell you...

From then on i can't remember a lot, apparently i was lying down in the toilets for about an hour laughing and somehow at the end of the night i had lost both shoes, lol great night!

After that i decided never to get really drunk again.
 
Alcohol becomes exceptional late at night when everybody's really drunk/tired and need to amuse themselves with stupid shit. Oh, the wonderful memories of collapsing down stairs, puking behind closets, eating dog food, shoving vaccums up the asses of the passed out, drunk wrestling, and rolling down hills full of sharp rocks and bushes all on camera.

Then when morning comes, you drink more.
