- On the health front. There were studies that showed drinking beer was

good for your brain, your heart, your eyes, your stomach, your mental

well being, etc. There was another that noted women are better off

sticking to beer rather than wine or spirits, though it was not related

to the report from a British student who claimed her breasts went up

three cup sizes after she started drinking pints of beer instead of

wine. The 21-year-old Manchester University student said she went from

a 34B bust to 36DD within weeks, but did not put on weight.

 

- Alcohol and kids. A study by the University of Michigan's Institute

for Social Research concludes that alcohol use among American

adolescents continues to decline. In Belgium, some schoolchildren in

the Limburg province of Belgium have given the choice of low alcohol

beer for their lunch. The beer, 2-2.5% brews known in Belgium as

tafelbier or " table beer, " was first made available to students last

spring in a pilot project instigated by the local beer appreciation

group, De Limburgse Biervrienden. More than 80% of the children who

took part in the scheme preferred the beer to soda pop.
