troy 12 Report post Posted September 29, 2009 I remember reading an article based on this study a bit ago, it mentions that around half of the injuries observed were directly caused by the drunkenness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law Goalie 147 Report post Posted September 29, 2009 This one, troy?This article goes on to talk about animal trials (lucky monkeys...), and unfortunately concludes that, "These beneficial effects are apparently lost at higher doses."Sadly, the key appears to be moderation: too much, and you risk compounding complications.So a couple of pints of Guinness and a dram before bed will do you a world of good, but the rule is, 'Only benders go on benders.'Oh man, that's a great find LawGoalie! This one will get some major airtime with my hockey buddies....all in the name of research of course!Keep spreading the gospel... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
