Good news! A key ingredient in beer may help treat the common cold.

Researchers found that a chemical compound in beer can help the human body fight the virus behind the common cold.

Unfortunately – or fortunately – you’d have to drink about 30 cans of beer to get enough of the compound to really knock out the virus.

So, if you’ve got a cold, booze early and booze often!
