Yes they did!

It is true that Guinness Stout is the beer that is suppose to be the best for you. People with AIDS who didn't drink alcohol and took good care of themselves, it was found, were dying much sooner than those who didn't take good care of themselves and drank beer everyday. It is hard to find on the net, but there use to be studies out there about the finding that people with AIDS lived the longest who drank beer everyday, but the people who drank Guinness Stout, especially tap, lived on the whole the longest of all the beer drinking people who had AIDS. The lack of pasteurization is what caused the tap Stout to be even better for you. The old, old lady in the video drank homemade beer so it wouldn't have been pasteurized.

St. Patrick’s Day celebrations may actually be good for you – if they include a pint of the Guinness Irish stout beer. It turns out that ads touting Guinness as being good for you really are true.

A 2003 American Heart Association study found that drinking a pint of Guinness each day can reduce the risk of blood clots that cause heart attacks.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin conducted tests to compare the health benefits of stout Guinness with lager Heineken.

They fed the two beers to dogs with clogged arteries and then measured the effects on the stickiness of blood-clotting cells. The results showed only the dogs that were fed Guinness had reduced clotting activity, making them less likely to have a heart attack.

Researchers said that dark stout beer, like Guinness, is packed with powerful antioxidant compounds called flavonoids, which can help reduce damage to the lining of arteries.

Other possible health benefits of drinking beer in moderation include protecting against type 2 diabetes, increasing good cholesterol levels, lowering the risk of developing dementia and improving cognitive function.

Pretty easy to understand the Guinness Stout from the tap thing. People discover there are some things worth living for.
