According to researchers at Palacky University in the Czech Republic, an interest in beer is bad for your scientific output:

According to the study, published in February in Oikos, a highly respected scientific journal, the more beer a scientist drinks, the less likely the scientist is to publish a paper or to have a paper cited by another researcher, a measure of a paper’s quality and importance.

However, I suspect they really need a bigger sample set. A large number of the computer scientists I know like their beer, and are by all measures very successful. Perhaps the authors of this report needed to think it over in the pub some more?
