beer is good for you
Experiments published in Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry showed that beer may reduce the carcinogenic effects of charred meats (by 40-70%).

What fun is the beer without the alcohol? Those mice are getting a raw deal. 
I grew up on a beef farm in Missouri and over cooking and applying steak sauce is taboo. That's grounds for dismissal and extra chores.

Why would anybody turn perfectly good dead animal flesh into carcinogens anyway?  Just goes to show: Steaks - properly seared, grilled medium rare, should be washed down with a quality full-bodied red wine (for the cardiac benefits) so you can save the iced beer for the fishing cooler. That way you avoid all kinds of problems. Peregrino

I knew it! Man, if beer is that good, imagine the positive health effects of whiskey!

We will probably live forever!
Or until our livers fail.

I love it!
A couple of years ago, I relocated to La Jolla, California, for a new job. My rooftop deck had a nice view of the water, and I immediately began having fantasies about cookouts. Upon meeting my new neighbors, who seemed like sheep but were definitely harmless, I invited them over for a barbecue to get to know each other. Because I am nice and friendly and that's how we'd do it back home.
They looked at me like I was an alien and replied, "We don't eat char."
Exqueeze me?
I began plotting my return to Texas before all the boxes were even unpacked. Now I have a good comeback - "It's okay, so long as you drink enough beer!"
BTW, do you eat char, RL?

As in CHARcoal and CHARbroiled (but bot CHARo) - the little burned parts from when you barbecue a piece of meat, or the drippings that accumulate on your coals and then burn. Supposedly carcinogenic if you consume a metric ton or so. Basically, if it's black and you just took it off the grill, that's char.

Next time you're in Dallas, I'll make sure you get a proper dosage.

Beer has all the food groups: grain, water, air, alcohol

It has actually been known for some time. Dig around the net and you will find some older stuff, especially on beers brewed using higher kilned barley/malts (Chocolate, roasted & black patent).

RL - Only in LA could air be a quanitative food group! However, for fear of impending litigation I shall not argue from afar.

yes, I merely posted it to vindicate the grill masters intuition. It is little bits like these that should convince USDA to add one to the pyramid.
