Thanks, kid. I read this and smiled:

"CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) ­ A main ingredient in beer 
may help prevent prostate cancer and enlargement, 
according to a new study. But researchers say 
don't rush out to stock the refrigerator because 
the ingredient is present in such small amounts 
that a person would have to drink more than 17 beers to benefit."

So what's the problem? Sounds to me like just another justification.
