La-Z-Boy Hypes High-Tech Beer Chair with Stupid Research
La-Z-Boy Chill: What a clever double-entendre! It chills beverages and you can chill in it. Get it?
Perhaps they are the same 6 percent of doctors who do not believe that relaxing at home helps to reduce stress.
After surveying 300 primary care physicians, La-Z-Boy reports: "94 percent of doctors say daily relaxation at home, in conjunction with other healthy behaviors, is important to reduce stress."
Well if that's just not a ringing endorsement for the chair-maker's new beer-friendly high-tech Chill recliner, featuring a flip-arm thermo-electric cooler, two-temperature heat settings and massage.
According to La-Z-Boy: "Consumers can store up to six 12-ounce cans [read: beer], relaxing with a cold beverage [beer] in-hand during every play. No unnecessary trips to the refrigerator [i.e., exercise]. No interrupted game."
VP of merchandising Paula Hoyas adds, "Football fans don’t have to get up with ‘Chill’."
La-Z-Boy invokes the physician survey here: “'Chill'” also means to relax, which is fitting since according to a recent study of primary care physicians ...."
Recall that the stress-reducing relaxation at home also requires "other healthy behaviors," of which lounging around all day drinking beer without getting off your butt is not one.
What would 94 percent of physicians say about that?
Plus, the chair is ugly.

As a beer-thusiast and almost-doctor, I can prescribe this product to myself for 100% resolution for my too-lazy-to-get-up-for-beer-itis.
Nick, you’re going to make a fine physician someday!
Skeptics and cynics, all. As a scientist I demand experimental data denying the possitive effects of beer, rest and mental stupor. Wtih that attitude Einstein would have never discovered that light bends - and I place the two notions in the same bucket of importance.
If they build in a urinal you’d be all set!
Look at that, I finally get my dad and stepson to read my stuff. Will my Uncle “A” be far behind?
If the other armrest included recessed areas for chips and a warmer for cheese dip it would be perfect.
Security Guy,
If the seat cushion was filled with activated charcoal to act as a, “fart absorber,” then it would be perfect.
Hmm, I suppose hating people all day has made you either blind or illiterate, as it quite clearly says ‘six’ cans and not 12. It’s neat that you’re on that high-horse looking down on others that may need to relax after working HARD for a living. Thanks for not supporting a local (to your UofM) company.
Plus, you’re ugly. 
So… Can this thing be prescribed by a physician??? Then my insurance picks it up???
I like drinking beer and watching football. #### you. Also going to the fridge to grab another beer is exercise? Yikes.
@Talking Junky:
Considering that it took you almost 2 full months to respond to the last post, you must already have one hell of a, “comfy chair.”
Oh come on, that chair is not ugly. It will look BEAUTIFUL in a double-wide right beside the pine 2x4 end table with a velvet Elvis hanging over it.
Wonder if they have an optional gun rack built in back? I mean with 12 empty beer cans, its a perfect lodging spot to toss them in air and shoot them.
