A newly released study shows that regular drinkers are less likely to die prematurely than people who have never indulged in alcohol. You read that right: Time reports that abstaining from alcohol altogether can lead to a shorter life than consistent, moderate drinking.

All the dancing pink elephants do that for me.

I'm smelling advertisement, but this concept needs to be brought to a consumer level. The future is now, people!

A study at Granada University of Spain seem to suggest than beer is better than water at rehydrating the body after exercise.

Here's what the researchers did:

Asked 25 students to run on a treadmill at 104 degrees Fahrenheit to the point of exhaustion Measured their levels of hydration, motor skills and their ability to concentrate Half the students were given water to drink and the other half were given Spanish lager

Result:
Those who were given beer had slightly better hydration levels than those who were given plain water.
