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.'

Big deal; 3 ounces of liquor will cut pain by over 90%.
Ask any construction worker. They'll tell you that drinking is the most effective pain relief there is.my buddy drinks every night
What genius figured this one out.? Isn't it strange how facts that were known hundreds of years ago suddenly become "discovered"?

I guess science today is to find a problem, determine the preferred outcome, and then apply scientific principles to make it so.
...but Ossifer, they said 2 pints would relieve my pain by 1/4. I figured 8 pints would make it all go away. Hitting that light pole, I felt no pain!!!
