Something to share with the ale drinkers out there. =)

Tidbit #1
In November of 1999, The New England Journal of Medicine stated that light to moderate beer drinkers would decrease their chances of suffering a stroke by 20%. They also stated that those who drink one beer a day compared to those who drink one beer a week experience no difference in reducing stroke risks.
Tidbit #2
The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas (May 1999) reported that consuming moderate amounts of beer would lower one's chances of coronary heart disease by 30-40%, compared to those who don't drink at all. (Beer contains a similar amount of 'polyphenols' -- antioxidants -- as red wine and 4-5 times as many polyphenols as white wine).

Alcohol has also been attributed to increasing the amount of good cholesterol (HDL) in the bloodstream, as well as helping to decrease blood clots.
Tidbit #4
Beer contains vitamin B6, which prevents the build-up of the amino acid homocysteine, that has been linked to heart disease. Those of us who have high levels of homocysteine are usually more prone to an early onset of heart and vascular disease.
Tidbit #5
A new study performed at the TNO Nutrition and Food Research Institute in Utrecht indicates that those who drink beer had no increase in their homocysteine level, but those who drank wine or liquor had an increase of up to 10%.
Tidbit #6
Beer provides a 30% increase in vitamin B6 into the blood plasma -- something that neither wine nor any other liquor can do.
Tidbit #7
Beer is both fat-free and cholesterol-free.
Tidbit #8
Beer has a relaxing effect on the body thereby reducing stress and helping you sleep better.
Tidbit #9
Beer has proven to have positive effects on elderly people. It helps promote blood vessel dilation, sleep and urination.
An average beer contains the following:
· 0 mg cholesterol
· 0 g fat
· 13 g carbohydrate
· 25 mg sodium
· protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and vitamins B, B2, and B6
· alcohol

But hey! Moderation is the key here. Our liver can only process one can of beer in about an hour’s time, so too much of it at one time ain’t good! And not to forget, excessive binging causes obesity due to high calorie content. Over drinking would most likely cause obesity and all the other diseases such as heart failure would follow suite.
So enjoy the benefits by drinking wisely! =)
PS: I’m NOT promoting the drinking of alcoholic drinks here. I’m trying to let you understand the benefits of MODERATE drinking for all the drinkers out there. CHEERS!

We really have no idea what on earth you are doing. And yes, I do feel USEFUL and USED, now that someone had mentioned it to me. But I’m hoping that YOU are the one who sees this. Not someone else. Stop treating us like some abandoned pets, where you would only cuddle as and when you feel like. We need love too.

There’re many things that I don’t agree with. And I can’t make any sense out of it.
Are some things really meant to be? I didn’t know it would be so hard to change. I guess, nothing much has changed, hasn’t it?
How long would it last?
