Homebrew - The Good, The Bad...
Well, personally, I'm banking on scientists changing their minds on the alcohol thing (Elvis knows they change their mind on everything else). It's said now that one drink a day is good for you. It only makes sense that ten a day is brilliant.
Dogger, you're a scientist. Say it is so. That'll do me.
...and even if it's not true, maybe it would have a placebo effect.

Following on from Evo's theory about one is good, 10 is brilliant come this gem from the TV show CHEERS:
In one episode of 'Cheers', Cliff is seated at the bar describing the 'Buffalo Theory' to his buddy Norm. I don't think I've ever heard the concept explained any better than this...
"Well you see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive drinking of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
That said I'll just have another beer if you don't mind!!
