"Humans, chimps, and bonobos all kiss," explained lead researcher Dr Matilda Brindle, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Oxford.

Guinness 0 Alcohol Content
Guiness 0 has less than 0.5% alcohol in it, but it's not completely alcohol-free. If you're sensitive to alcohol, check with your doctor before consuming.
