The diet of a typical college student is rotten. Sometimes literally. Pizza, greasy burgers and fries, milkshakes, and BEER (hey, sounds like my dream diet!) — they all lead to a plethora of bad things like excess fat and poor skin. Not to mention poor overall health.

Now if he could only show us how to make low-calorie beer with a full Pacifico taste!
