My grandmother use to give us guinnes and milk as "a tonic" when we were very young. We loved it! She used to say it will "put hair on your chest". That's all well and good for my brother but not so much for me (when I was a 6yr old girl!) Anyway it never stopped me taking it, and no, I don't have hair on my chest! Also she used to dip a cotton ball in some hot whiskey for an earache. I miss her old ways!

My grandad had it medically prescribed a few years ago when he took a turn for the worse, gods honest truth. A friend smuggled it into hospital, and he improved. Friend was banned from the hospital and grandad got worse, another friend smuggled some in and he got better again, doctor gave up and prescribed him a pint a day. true story, he's now 90 years old and fit as a fiddle.

It's all coming down to my free weight training at the ripe young age of 76...a pint of the stuff an hour before working out...John L. Sullivan drank a case DURING his workout...Pints of Guinness antioxidant compounds in dogs is a waste of the good stuff...use human testers...

The Irish Blood Transfusion Service used to give a bottle of Guinness (optional) to blood donors as a 'pick-me-up' after donating their 'pint of blood' in the old days. That's how I got my first 'legal' alcoholic drink as a 16 year old first-time blood donor in 1968. The anti-alcohol lobby had that changed in the interests of discouraging alcoholism. Likewise with pregnant women as a tonic or under doctor's orders for people with stomach complaints.

Guinness also opens minds. US opposition to Obamacare drops to 30% as people actually learn the law and discount the right wyng propaganda.
