Hey beer drinkers: Care for a bag of pork rinds with that six-pack?
Stereotype beer drinkers? Who, me?
Why do that, when they do such a fine job of it all by themselves?
Check out the results of a study published by the British Medical Journal about the grocery-buying habits of beer drinkers compared to wine drinkers. Researchers analyzed 3.5 million transactions over six months and concluded that:
Wine buyers bought more olives, fruit and vegetables, poultry, cooking oil and low-fat cheese, milk and meat than beer buyers … Beer buyers bought more ready-cooked dishes, sugar, cold cuts, chips (crisps), pork, butter or margarine, sausages, lamb and soft drinks than wine buyers.
I can see the t-shirts now: “Beer Drinkers: Keeping Cardiologists Busy Worldwide.”
And yes, I enjoy a fine brew on occasion myself — especially when I’m breaking out one of those delicious old TV dinners from the freezer …
Cheers!
