Stevenson said that the Rice research group, most of the members of which aren't old enough to legally drink alcoholic beverages, came up with the idea of adding resveratrol to beer during a casual conversation about potential projects to undertake. "The idea is that it may have greater effects [in beer than in wine]," he added. "The amount of red wine you'd need to drink to get the same results they get with rats in labs is about half a bottle a day."
He explained that the amount of resveratrol in wine varies from bottle to bottle, since it depends on growing conditions for the grapes and other variables. The researchers felt they could design a beer with higher and more consistent concentrations of the cancer-fighting chemical.

Just think of how much better they'd do if they were using Macbook Pro's:

The students, using their own Dell, Lenovo ThinkPad and Gateway laptops, are now in the process of developing a genetically modified strain of yeast that will ferment beer and produce resveratrol at the same time. Stevenson said that as the research advances, the team will need to use one of Rice University's computer grids to run compute-heavy genetic models.

Researchers at University of Wisconsin (where else) ...
The newspaper here has been running a series on alcohol consumption in our drunken state. We have some of the worst binge drinking and DWI statistics in the nation. They didn't come out and say it in the Sunday paper (the only day I get one), but it's an obsession with some. (I can't use the R word)

I'll have a glass of wine once in a blue moon, but I've never tasted a beer that I had to have more of.
Where did you hear that there's no beer in heaven??

In heaven there is no beer
(no beer?!)
That's why we drink it here
And when we're all gone from here
Our friends will be drinking all the beer.
In heaven there is no wine
(no wine?!)
So we drink till we feel fine
And when we leave this all behind
Our friends will be drinking all the wine.

What the United Kingdom needs now is a partial pint. Yep, there are plans afoot to downsize the British pint.
Didn't we fight a War of Independence over stuff like that? I'm sure I heard that U.S. pubs were downsizing as well!

Alas, that war was over tea.
I think it took a little longer than that.
