Rice University students are trying to develop beer that could fight cancer, heart disease and diabetes. It started, as so many great ideas do, as a joke.

"But then we found that we'd be able to do it," said Thomas Segall-Shapiro, 20, a junior biochemistry and bioengineering major at Rice. "That's when we got sold on the idea."

Bottoms' up!

Sounds like a good idea to me!

I'll drink to that.
Too bad current brews don't have the same health benefits, if they did, I'd be a medical marvel.

I could be a beer taste tester for them!

Graham and I could do tests to see what the maximum safe comsumption limits were.

What, there's a limit on beer consumption???

I don't drink..........I use a funnel.

Next time some says, "To your health", they could be right.

Only if its VOL content is above 5%!!

I figured I should at least wait until noon before posting in this thread.
Why shouldn't beer cure cancer? It already makes me funnier, more philosophical and better looking.

Here's proof that beer makes you funnier, if unintentionally, and better looking too:
