Came across this story in my local area:
Man Embarks On Beer-Only Fast
Until Easter, Man To Live On Water, Beer
CORNING, Iowa KETV.com
Instead of fruits and vegetables, why not stick with beer? That's what a man in Corning is doing, and he said it's for religious reasons.
J. Wilson is attempting to recreate the way Fransiscan monks marked the holy season of Lent centuries ago. Until Easter, he'll live on only water and four hearty pints per day of his own Doppelbock creation.
The newspaper editor is getting guidance from both a local doctor and a pastor. He knows living on 1,200 calories a day will be a challenge, but his goal is to never become drunk.
It's not something Im taking lightly. My health is important to me. I've got a wife and two kids that are very, very important to me. So, it's not like a joke, Wilson said.
Throughout Lent, Wilson plans to blog about his journey
Here is the link to the actual story:
