[gloworange]WARNING: THE BELOW HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SECURITY![/gloworange]

But - it's just in time for the weekend!

The register has a Science section and a few articles relating to components in beer that is actually good for you. While they or I do not condone becoming addicted to the beer elixir, I would suggest you conduct your own experiments and see how you feel! Plus - it's for science!

And because I am at least somewhat of a responsible genXer - make sure you have one of these if you conduct field experiments: http://www.designateddriver.com/home.html
