Why I'm clean shaven: LONDON (Reuters) - The sight of British men in pubs wiping the froth from their mustaches after drinking a pint may soon be a thing of the past -- according to brewer Guinness they are wasting nearly half a million pounds of their stout a year. New scientific research commissioned by Guinness (DGE.L) showed that between them, an estimated 92,370 mustachioed Guinness drinkers lose up to 162,719 pints of the black stuff each year -- worth some 423,070 pounds ($675,900). ``A genuine mustache has been proven to contribute to a significant Guinness wastage, as a result of inter-fiber retention at every sip,ïï the company said in a statement. For those trying to count the cost of their mustache, the average Guinness drinker with a mustache like sports Presenter Des Lynam is losing over 12 pounds a year, while those with a goatee like pop singer George Michael are nine pounds out of pocket. A full beard could cost you around 23 pounds in lost Guinness -- although the research showed that the amount varies according to the thickness of the facial hair.
