Beer stops slugs, why not roaches?

The Utne Reader has this sudsy advice on how to handle cockroaches:  Put a saucer containing ½ cup of beer on the floor. When the roaches are drunk, sweeping them up will be a cinch. 

I have put plates of beer in the garden to get rid of slugs.

But has anyone tried getting roaches drunk ?

I think if you have roaches, cleaning your house could stop that!
