In one of the less surprising revelations of the
year, researchers at the University of North

aesthetic concerns, the condition may point to
health hazards of a more serious nature. In a
comparison of beer drinkers and wine drinkers, the
scientists found that beer tends to build a

tend to have narrower waists, even when the same
amount of alcohol and calories is consumed by
both. --The
