I love these drink studies (and wouldn’t mind being a test subject – it beats jury duty),

This time it’s from researchers at Purdue University:

Story Served Neat:

  • A glass of red wine can help you avoid that beer gut because “a compound in red wine—has the ability to delay the generation of young fat cells.”

Disclaimer: This doesn’t give you carte blanche to drink a pitcher of beer once you’ve had a glass of wine… but if you should,  always remember:

Beer before liquor, never sicker; liquor before beer, never fear.

You’re Welcome…

Spring is here…
Which means baseball season is here…
Which means expensive beer? ! ?

Here are the top five priciest stadiums (based on a small draft beer).  We’re not even going to address the gourmet food offered in some stadiums – Hello???  You’re sitting on hard plastic chairs and eating food out of your lap!

Story Served Neat:

  1. Tie: Chicago Cubs/Atlanta Braves: $7.00
  2. Toronto Blue Jays:  $7.19
  3. Boston Red Sox: $7.25
  4. Philadelphia Phillies: $7.75
  5. Miami Marlins: $8.00

Oh – You’re Welcome!

With all the bad press around Mexico Walmart’s  bribery scandal, I guess Costco decided to shine a positive light… on itself.

Served Neat:

  • In some states,  you don’t have to be a member to buy wine or other alcoholic beverages at Costco.
  • Costco makes high-end and global wines more affordable with no more than a 15% markup.
  • Speaking of Costco and Kirkland,  we were informed at a recent vodka tasting that Kirkland Vodka  is produced by the same people that make Grey Goose Vodka – sounds like an extra savings of drink money!
