Vitamin Beer ....Oye!


You have to hand it to the Filipino inventor Virgilio "Billy" L. Malang for creating an invention that has a widespread appeal. He has created a type of beer, which is Vitamin B complex-fortified and makes a promise to "take some of the guilt out of drinking" by replacing the essential Vitamin B which is lost when excessive amounts of alcohol are consumed. Mind you, this is the same guy who has published a book, called "Sex Every Minute." I don't think he's got a patent on that, though.


Malang says that he believes the invention will be popular because beer is the national weakness of the Philippines. A Kirin Research Institute study ranked the Philippines as the 5th highest beer consumer in Asia, after China, Japan, South Korea and Thailand, with an average of nearly 20 liters (45 pints) of beer per person per year.
It has not been marketed yet, but Vitamin Beer already won a gold medal at the European Union-sponsored Genius-Europe competition at the Budapest Fair Center in Hungary in May 2004 and bagged the Romanian Ministry Education and Research Cup among 1,000 inventions by 540 inventors from 46 countries, Philippine Daily Inquirer reports.


This is interesting because I have lived under the impression that there is a lot of Vitamin B in every beer, that is why beer is supposed to be good for you. Or it could just be something my dad tells my my mom to make her feel better.


Recently in Thailand:

Vitamin Beer was the hottest among 150 products by the International Federation of Inventors’ Association recently held in Thailand. Uncontrolled crowds gathered to taste this new product by a Filipino Inventor Billy L. Lalang.
“If you are looking for an excuse to take a swig, this is it,” said Billy L. Lalang, who concocted a beer mixed with Vitamin B, to replace the vitamin lost when people drink too much booze.


Basically when you are drinking beer or alcohol, you are drawing Vitamin B and that’s why Vitamin Beer was invented. The inventor noted that Vitamin Beer has Vitamin B in its content. So if you drink a lot of Vitamin Beer you’ll wake up one morning without hang-over and feel a lot better.


Vitamin Beer is prophylactic for drinkers Lalang said and has already won a gold medal at the Genius Europe competition
Too good to be true? If that is the case, for sure beer lovers can’t wait to taste this new invention.


Cheers to all!


Philippines Home of The brightest!
