    "Middle-aged men now have a good excuse to go to the pub with their mates - it is good for

    That's good enough for me ;-)

    Mind you, it also said, "while a quick pint with friends would be beneficial, drinking to
    excess was not."

    Bummer really ;-)

    No -- its a bugger to ballance on the bike and you have to keep stopping at suitable bushes :~(

    Still, it doesn't hurt as much when you fall off.

    "Middle-aged men now have a good excuse to go to the pub with their mates - it is good for their
    brains."

    But we've known for years that alcohol helps us to develop faster, more efficient brains. It's
    explained thus (and I've no idea where I saw this first, it was a long time ago):

    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 is maintained or even improved by the regular culling of the weakest members.

    In much the same way, the human brain can operate only as fast as the slowest brain cells through
    which the electrical signals pass. Recent epidemiological studies have shown that while excessive
    intake of alcohol kills off brain cells, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.

    Thus, regular consumption of beer helps eliminate the weaker cells, constantly making the brain a
    faster and more efficient machine. The result in-depth study verifies and validates the casual link
    all weekend parties and job related performance. It also explains why, after a few short years after
    leaving a university and getting married, most professionals cannot keep up the performance of the
    new graduates.

    Only those few who stick to the strict regimen of voracious alcohol consumption can maintain the
    intellectual levels that they achieve during their college years. So this is a call to arms. As our
    country is losing its technological edge, we must not shudder in our homes. get back into the bars.
    Quaff that pint. Your company and country need you to be at your peak, and you shouldn't deny
    yourself the career that you could have.
