Yeah, but this was at the end of the article...

"The study also found that although the group that imbibed were better at creative problem solving, they did worse on memorization tasks."

So you have memory loss, but creative ability while drinking beer... interesting...

If you suffer memory loss, than you won't remember that you suffered memory loss. Win-win!

What about church lobbies? How about a nook called Solomon's Wisdom? We could have a preservice prayer happy hour...

So that's why people drink too much beer, memory loss. They forget they have been drinking. Answers the question that police officers ask when they pull you over. I have had only 2 beers ociffer, but who's counting?

Milk makes your bones and teeth stronger too. But I don't like milk. So I don't drink it. Same with beer. I don't care if they tell me it is straight from the Fountain of Youth. I hate the stuff. Now on the other hand, if strawberry margaritas have any redeeming value, I do enjoy those :) Please keep us posted when you find good news on those.

Hey! You could invite Bob Marley, in situ even,
if you get me--he's right here, he said he'll come.
Ah, but then you'd have to get ready for revival...

Hoovie, you are shocked at Cindy, but you expected it from me?? I think I might be offended. Well, maybe. But on the other hand, maybe the beer just made me think more. Oh wait. I don't drink beer. Must have been the strawberries. Yep, that's it. It's the strawberries.

Margie you do have a reputation...

If you throw some yeast and sugar on those strawberries and let them rot - you'll do just fine.

Soaking them thoroughly in tequila works even better :) And doesn't rot them in the process!

This could be interesting.

Since there is scriptural analogy made to being drunk in Acts 2... I wonder if there are any studies that might show speaking in tongues also raises the IQ?

We might be making beer brats tonight. Start by opening up either three bottles or three cans of beer and boiling the brats for a min of 45 minutes before finishing on the grill.

Consuming beer brats isn't what makes you smarter, but it does make your farter...LOL

Randy, that sounds scrumptious! I'm going to plan on doing this very soon! Thanks for the idea.
