    "Beer drinkers can toast the news their favourite beverage possesses the same
    benefits as red wine, according to Western biochemistry and kinesiology
    professor John Trevithick, one of the lead researchers at Western on the benefits of antioxidants.

    Trevithick has found one drink of beer or wine provides equivalent increases in
    plasma antioxidant activity, which helps prevent the oxidization of blood plasma
    that trigger many aging diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and
    cataracts. " -- I'm currently researching the positive benefits of beer by using myself as a subject :D .

    "In the modern Baltic languages of Lithuanian and Latvian, the last European countries to become Christian, alus means beer. In Estonian, ölu means beer. In Finnish, it's olut; in Swedish öl; in Norwegian and Danish, øl. In English, the word ale predates beer. In the 1500s, the English used the word "ale" to indicate an older, unhopped, form. "Beer" meant a brew with hops. The suggestion of old and new is mirrored in today's usage, where ale distinguishes a top-fermented brew from the more modern bottom-fermenting lager."
