Beer == Healthy?

In a recent questionable study, Beer is good for you.
This is news I am certain the Picklefish crew will accept with no argument.

OK. First: Apparently HOPS are good for preventing common illnesses. Drinking beer can reduce the aging process.

Second: Drinking two beers a day can reduce impotence in males.

.....
Well...those seem like good reasons to drink beer.
If that were not enough, in a related story I saw on a different news show...studies suggest that having a beer belly can help you survive a car crash. I think that is interesting.

Anyway....regarding that first tidbit of info...I said that the study was questionable for the following reasons:
The study came out of Austria and the Czech Republic. These are two nations that just so happen to produce a LOT of beer.
Also, the study was FUNDED by some of the major breweries in that area.

Still...
I am sure Americans will latch on to the idea with no argument.
