Post Drinking alcohol can 'reduce severity' of arthritis
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-10776758

Quote:
Drinking alcohol can not only ease the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis it appears to reduce disease severity too, research suggests.

Scientists at the University of Sheffield asked two groups of patients with and without the disease to provide details of their drinking habits.

They found that patients who had drunk alcohol most frequently experienced less joint pain and swelling.

Experts say this should not be taken as a green light for drinking more.

Great apart from that last bit.

When you drink, your joints go all loose and floppy and you fall over. So it must work.

Can my GP write me a prescription for a few cans of cider every week?

My Grampy had a bottle of Guinness a day when he was in hospital, although it was supplied by my Nan, it was written on the same sheet as all his medication!

Possibly not but if anyone gives you a funny look when you are buying it you could say you are collecting your prescription. :P

But it settles very well! It's nearly headless until the last bit! (8-p)

£7.20 for a few cans?

I'll go get it without a subscription, or maybe with a pre-paid card

Haha good point fin. Perhaps a prescription for a case of spiced rum would be more beneficial for my health :)

Depends, Captain's Organ (Captain Morgan's to the uninitiated) or Sailor Jerry*?

*The original. The "new" Sailor Jerry is widely reported to be awful.

I prefer Woods navy rum but spiced rum is a wonderful alternative. 8-)

Ah Woods, very good, but oh-so-expensive, much like Pusser's.
