  Beer taster wins compensation over alcoholism

  
  

  A Brazilian has won increased compensation from a brewery after 20 years as a taster made him an alcoholic.

  
  

  Master Brewer Bernd Naveke, 49, drank around eight litres of beer every working day while at the Brahma Brewery near Rio de Janeiro.

  
  

  He was forced to leave his job after becoming a registered alcoholic and hasn't worked since.
