ABC News: Beer Losing Ground in Beverage Market

"We believe there is an overall image crisis with beer," Smith Barney Citicorp analyst Bonnie Herzog said.

First of all, I'm ashamed of us all. Second of all, if beer has an image problem, maybe it's because the major brewers have been trying to market their beers as a health food. Low-calorie beers, low-carb beers? What's next, a fat free beer?

Everybody get this, because I'm only going to say this once (today, anyway): Beer Is Not Good For You. And it's not supposed to be. It's BEER.
