1. I Drink Nothing

I can hold up to the Sun on a summer's day and can't see light. I'll stick with draft Bass Pale Ale.

4. The Guinness diet -- lose weight!

As an interesting aside, a good friend of mine, an overweight woman, recently spent 2 weeks in Ireland where she drank Guinness every afternoon. She came home 10 pounds lighter! She thinks it's because Guinness made her feel so full she ate less at dinner. Yet Guinness isn't all that calorie-rich.

I think she's right. When I was in Ireland, I drank lots of Guinness and lost weight too. (But in my case, it might have to do with the fact I got pretty damn tired of all those potatoes at dinner.)

So drink Guinness -- lose weight!

6. Little known fact:

Guinness is lower in calories than the lightest American Light Beer.

21. I Believe They Are Talking About The Stout?

There Are TWO Kinds Of Guiness The Draught And The Stout - The Draught Is Only 4% Alcohol And Makes Up 98% Of US Consumption - The Stout (Which Has Been Available For A Much Longer Time Domestically) Sits At 6.7% Alcohol (Both Of These Measurments Are By Volume) In The Study, They Mention Stout - But People ALWAYS Fuck It Up, So Is It Stout, Or The Draught?
