FYI Roger, a chemistry lesson as it applies to diabetics, the alcohol in 
the beer is turned into sugar (from whence it came) by everyones liver, 
at a quite efficient rate of production. which explains the reference to 
near beer, Miller64 is about 2.7%, and even so I can still see each one 
on a glucose test strip.  That excess glucose/sugar is eliminated by the 
kidneys, so we "recycle the coffee" about 2x as often as a normal person 
would.  That sugar's damage to the kidneys is just one of the life 
threatening effects of diabetes.  So we take metformin & live 20 years 
longer, but its a bit hard on the GI tract, so we spend 10 of that 20 on 
the throne.  It seems to turn sugary stuff into a very efficient 
laxative.

More than you wanted to know I expect. :)
