Spanish sisters who drank beer for 45 days straight as part of a medical research project are part of a growing trend to study nuns whose unique healthy, celibate lifestyle makes them ideal for such purposes.
Every year hundreds of Catholic nuns are weighed, measured, poked and prodded in the name of medical research, the US ABC News reports.
In a study recently conducted by the Centre for Information on Beer and Health in Spain, 50 nuns drank a half-litre of beer every day for 45 days. Six months later they took 400 milligrams of hops, reported Reuters.
The study found that cholesterol rates fell by 6 percent in those sisters with high levels.
"We did it for the good of humanity," Sr Almerinda Alvarez told the newspaper El Pais.
Where can I sign up for a study like that! Purely in the interest of advancing science of course.

This is budweiser that I would actually drink.
Man, I been doing that study for years and nobody told me! (or paid me!)
Oh, don’t get jealous yet! Remember that not all beers are Sam Adams. What if they used Budweiser? (that would count as penance)
Oh dear. I hope nobody got loopy.
Would that mean that Natural Light or Milwakee’s Best would be hell??
No, Hell would be Hamm’s or Pabst Blue Ribbon.
I would love to go get a prescription for my doctor for a good dark beer, imagine their faces at the wal-mart pharmacy when you wal up with the 30 pack, your insurance card, a prescription and a huge smile on your face.

It’s a shame they only got about a pint a day.
My thoughts exactly, Thomas. Just think of how much lower their cholestoral would’ve been with another pint a day. I’ll volunteer for that study.

Add a teaspoon of sugar & they are palatable!
