Spanish nuns show hops are good for you
A study in which teetotal Spanish nuns drank a regular half-liter of beer showed that beer may help reduce cholesterol levels, a group financed by the Spanish Beer Makers’ Association said on Thursday.

If they didn’t, the nuns would take it out on them in school.

Gotta love those bikini’s.
