Two pints of beer can cut pain by a quarter

Two pints of beer are better than paracetamol for pain relief and can cut discomfort by a quarter, a study has shown.

Medical researchers said blood alcohol content of approximately .08 per cent produced 'a small elevation of pain threshold' and a 'moderate to large reduction in pain intensity ratings'.

They added: 'Findings suggest that alcohol is an effective analgesic that delivers clinically-relevant reductions in ratings of pain intensity, which could explain alcohol misuse in those with persistent pain despite its potential consequences for long-term health.'

    For those of us who dont want to take opiods this is all we legally get. The US really needs to legalize. This state to state stuff does not protect your employment, doctor ordered or not.

    I guess science today is to find a problem, determine the preferred outcome, and then apply scientific principles to make it so.
