Interesting facts and trivia about Pints of Guinness Make You Strong. By Songfacts®.

Against Me! lead singer Laura Jane Grace wrote this song about her grandparents. Evelyn was Laura's grandmother and James was her grandfather. James was an alcoholic but was still always good to Evelyn. Her grandmother was always there for Laura growing up and lived with her on and off, so Laura cares for her deeply. James died from a heart attack, and Evelyn never remarried.

"Guinness Gives You Strength" and "Guinness Is Good For You" are popular slogans for the Irish Stout that appear throughout Ireland, where the beer is thought to serve as medicine. Science has disproved the claim that Guinness improves health, but it's probably not in your best interest to mention that in Ireland, where folks swear by it, and in some cases give it to their kids when they get sick.
