Becky's beauty secret?

Okay so she's currently having a wee break from boozin' and a-smokin', but Becky McDonald's about to crank up her drinking arm again. I've often wondered how the dickens she manages to keep her wonderful complexion and marvellous figure, while apparently knocking back pints and pints...and pints...and, well, you've all seen her do it - of cider. In fact I've wondered why on earth she doesn't look a bit more raddled, like, well, Teresa. Or me, come to that.

After some detailed research (about two minutes, actually, and it was time mightily well-spent) I found a possible explanation here. Yes, apparently some researchers discovered that the "phenolics" in cider have a beneficial effect on health. Who knew?

I can only conclude that Becky's whopping consumption of cider somehow counterbalances the effects of the voddies and fags, not to mention the "full cookeds" at Roy's. Hmm.

The reason she doesnt look raddled like Theresa is that she is only still in her late 20s and Theresa late 40s. 20 years of booze and fags take a toll on looks. I think Becky as a character looks rough, but if you see the actress elsewhere, look out for her on the Leerdammer cheese advert with the shrink, she is very attractive.

cider and cider vinegar also helps to keep you thin.

I've known quite a few thin alcoholics. They do without food.

Well well well..my sister drank nout but cider at uni and came back with a right belly on her. Maybe it was more to do with baked beans and take aways?...
