"   We typically associate beer with two things: sports and a good time. However, we might need to add &amp;quot;fighting viruses&amp;quot; to that list, in light of a new study released by a Japanese university. Apparently, a chemical called humulone, which is found in hops, not only gives beer its taste, it can also protect against the virus that causes pneumonia.  But, before you do a celebratory keg stand, researchers say that you&amp;#039;d have to drink about 30 cans of beer to reap humulone&amp;#039;s anti-viral benefits. And, actually, the chemical would be most helpful to infants and toddlers, who are more seriously effected by pneumonia&amp;#039;s symptoms. (Scientists are now hoping to work on some non-alcoholic products for little ones in light of their discovery).  Still, we see nothing wrong with a doing a little celebratory toast to beer&amp;#039;s potentially life-saving qualities. Cheers, ladies!  Want more from Natasha?
