Count your alcohol the gadget way…

By Andy, 3 December, 2009, No Comment

The BBC have reported on a fancy new app for the iTunes / iPhone / iTouch family.

The NHS “Alcohol Tracker” designed to help you count your alcohol intake, but why would you want to use an application for this?

Surely if you did care.. you would simply try not to drink too much?

If you are interested, then you can find the tracker here.

Fancy a Beer?

By Andy, 19 November, 2009, No Comment

Drinking alcohol every day cuts the risk of heart disease in men by more than a third, a major study suggests.
The Spanish research involving more than 15,500 men and 26,000 women found large quantities of alcohol could be even more beneficial for men.
Female drinkers did not benefit to the same extent, the study in Heart found.
Experts are critical, warning heavy drinking can increase the risk of other diseases, with alcohol responsible for 1.8 million deaths globally per year.
The study was conducted in Spain, a country with relatively high rates of alcohol consumption and low rates of coronary heart disease.
The research involved men and women aged between 29 and 69, who were asked to document their lifetime drinking habits and followed for 10 years.
Crucially the research team claim to have eliminated the “sick abstainers” risk by differentiating between those who had never drunk and those whom ill-health had forced to quit. This has been used in the past to explain fewer heart-related deaths among drinkers on the basis that those who are unhealthy to start with are less likely to drink.

Introducing Rezané Pivo

By Andy, 14 November, 2009, No Comment

Alright – this is a picture I nicked from Facebook.

But Rezané pivo is a mix of czech dark and blond beers. Ours didn’t look as good as below (it didn’t separate), but it was very smooth, and took away a fair bit of bitterness that the dark beer has.

If you’re a fan of czech beer then give this ago!
