  1. All I can say is that beer is helping my life out in so many ways. Thank you for posting the link for: "Secret to being thin hidden in your beer". That one link saved my butt today during a lecture I had in my science class. Plus I keep telling my wife how beer makes you smarter and thanks for bringing that link up last month.
