As if we needed another excuse to knock back a brewski regularly... Turns out that my favorite beer that's commonly compared to motor oil actually has health benefits when consumed (in moderation) daily. Some researchers gave some Guinness to dogs (???) and here's the heart-happy revelation that they tripped into.

They found the Guinness worked as well as aspirin in preventing clots forming. They believe that antioxidant compounds in the Guinness are responsible for the health benefits because they decrease harmful cholesterol gathering on the artery walls.

And it tastes better than aspirin too! I wonder how many revelations that I'd trip into as well from giving beer to dogs. I can tell you for certain that I feel great every time I drink a beer and I don't need to go to the dog pound to find that out. If you wanna do some research on me, I'm game. I can walk and talk too, unless of course you leave that keg unattended.
