Beer sales slipping

Here’s an interesting bit of news. It seems beer sales have been slipping over the last few years – there’s been a 22 per cent drop since 1979.
And funnily enough, this comes at a time when supermarkets like Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Asda have been selling cans of larger for as little as 22p, according to a report in the Daily Mail .
While you might scratch your head and wondering how beer sales are slumping especially given reports about girls’ “laddette behaviour” and the rise of binge drinking among teens, studies ( as reported by the BBC’s magazine ) have found that people are shunning the pint because its... urm... fattening!
This is of course a myth, because beer is made of much healthier stuff. A look at the alcohol, carb and calorie content chart just proves it!
So, go on, pick up that pint, you’re not likely to get a beer-belly (well not a very big one anyways...as long as you exercise!).
