It seems that hops contains a cancer fighting agent that is toxic to many types of cancer.

Scientists are looking into ways of increasing this agent in beer and regular foods that we eat.

Beer fights cancer! Bottoms up!

They need to improve their writing skills, one statement was quoted twice, but in all it's very good news.

it doesn't stop there! the magical concoction commonly known as beer also combats:

*Boredom
*Ugly Chicks (magically alters their appearance)
*Intolerable "Talks" with the Old Lady
*Erections (don't believe me? just keep drinking till it goes away!)
*Sexual Malaise (don't drink too much, or else the initial erection you get will, well, see above)
*The Question of What to Do With Your Hands and Mouth While Driving.
*Aliens

No such thing as alcohol-free beer. It is called non-alcoholic beer or NA beer, and it contains about 0.5% alcohol. Almost all of which have a faint tinge of sweetness(I know, I quit drinking, and I thought I could switch over to NA beer) reminescent of apple juice.

The best NA beer I could find to date is Busch NA. It comes really close to actually tasting like a regular beer, but all the fancy ones (Guiness, St.Paulies, CoorsCutter...) all have that sweet tangy apple juice flavor that somehow reminds you of vomit.

NA for North American? Anyway, according to my research, both of our terms are correct.
