Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMoving on to what the internet has been chewing on since dawn: Mark Zuckerberg and a pint of Guinness, and a video that has people very worried about how he took that first sip.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI've interviewed men in worse situations than a pub, and I can tell you the face says he's pretending to enjoy it.
