Many people think that anything that says Guinness on it is like drinking pure liquid bread. Did you know that a Guinness Draught only has 129 calories? In comparison, a typical Bud has 145. In addition to that, dark beer is packed with flavinoids, which gives you more antioxidants, which protects your heart. So basically, if you're going to drink anyway, Guinness is alot better for you than most people think.
