Apparently back in the 1940's a doctor recommended that she do it. It certainly seems to have worked in her case. I guess that doctors today are saying that moderate drinking can be downright good for you.

I wonder if there's not some synergistic effect from combining the beer with the whisky.
On a sadder note, I learned yesterday that being lonely is as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day!
