    Beer

    A solid and popular choice, it usually means you’re pretty chilled.

    Generally this indicates you aren’t putting any pressure on this date and don’t have high expectations.

    Wine

    A common first date drink that signifies sophistication.

    The doctor says the person who orders this likes knowing everyone’s business and tells it like it is.

    They probably don’t like being alone and love being complimented.

    If you date orders wine be cautious of what you do and say.

    Rum drink

    If you order a rum based drink, you are probably a mysterious and captivating person.

    You enjoy being the life of the party and having fun.

    Usually your date could turn into a full on adventure, Dr. Guerard says.

  • 220 Year Old Yeast Used to Create Shipwreck Beer

    A shipwrecked brew made with yeast from a 1796 merchant ship has finally reached its destination, more than 200 years later.

    The brew which was contained on a ship in 1796 left Calcutta, India for Sydney with rum, wine and beer, more than 30,000 litres of it.

    The ship ran aground in 1797 just north-east of Tasmania and was only discovered in 1977, covered in sand.

    In the 90s the wreck was salvaged including some of its beer which has been on display at a museum ever since.

    David Thurrowgood, a chemist-turned-conservator at QVMAG, realised he could use the live yeast from the 200+ year old beer to make new beer.

    After opening the beer and finding that the yeast was still active, they decided to make their own beer and much to their amazement the end result was a success.

    2. Beer- It has antioxidants and other anti-ageing benefits. It also usually has a lower alcohol content and people tend to drink it more slowly.
    3.  Gin and tonic or Vodka Tonic – Gin and vodka are less likely to cause a hangover. They are also lower in salt and sugar so its better for your skin.
    4. White wine – High in sugar and inflammatory so it can result in cell damage and increased skin aging.
    5. Mojito – Loaded in sugar and sugar syrup too of these can cause a breakout and spike your insulin levels.
    6. Margarita – High in sugar and salt, margaritas are often associated with hangovers and puffiness. The high sugar also has aging qualities long term.
    7. Red wine – Promotes blood vessels opening and therefore linked to increased redness. It’s also a histamine releaser, promoting redness and flushing.
