Beer helps your memory?!

First of all, let me say Happy National Beer Day! Second, yes…but only in LARGE amounts! So does that mean we all need to binge drink all day every day?  No, no it does not.  The sad part is its not the beer,but the chemical found in hops(xanthohumol) has been found(according to researchers at Oregon State University) to increase both the memory and thinking in a group of lab mice. Sadly,while beer drinkers may be rejoicing, the amount of xanthohumol consumed by the mice over 8 weeks would mean that an average human would have to ingest 2,000 liters of beer a day, which is the equivalent to 5,636 bottles of beer.  I would definitely be breaking the seal early and peeing ALOT!
