Rubbish. Beer is good for you. Well, maybe not if you write science papers. I don't. But I've met a lot of interesting and smart people in my local pub who do help my with my startup (or some other things I'm not really good at). Czech beer rocks! :)

Btw avian ecologists aren't the hard partying types. Geeks and doctors are.

How convenient -- my head just happens to hurt from all the beer I drank yesterday.

Beer is also bad for my brain!
