So they have evidence that people who are not affected by MS are more likely to drink.
What a waste of money.

Well this is an interesting kettle of fish. Right now I'm on a gluten free diet so I can't drink beer. Beer is made from Barley which contains gluten. But there are some gluten free beers http://thebeerdiaries.tv/beer-guide/gluten-free-guide/.
