Two Great Tastes ...
Good news: [t]wo studies [...] demonstrated that coffee drinking might protect against liver cirrhosis.
It's always nice when two health-wrongs make one health-not-as-wrong.

[Meanwhile, I apologize for the speed with which this has turned into a booze-blog. I'll work on finding more non-alcoholic material in the near future.]

Brief Beer Reviews
A lot of blog systems have a way for you to write an email to the system, which it will then translate into a post. I was not aware that TBND had such a feature. Turns out we do, and it's me.
Says Tony:
Todd pointed out that the English can drink. Unfortunately, they have poor taste in beer. I entered the bar in Heathrow with a few aims:
Ultimately, that landed me with Fuller's, which was not a total disappointment, but not as good as one would expect beer abroad to be.
- Order an English beer
- Get the (English) beer with the highest ABV
- Get something on draught.
- Don't spend more than £3.50
I'll (hopefully) post soon with more info on my travels, which are (for once) taking me to some interesting shores.
The email-post system -- with its sophisticated language comprehension system -- responds, "What, Vienna wasn't sufficiently interesting? Prick."
