Head up ping.
Beer ping.
Beer is good for you ping.
“So, have we any antibiotic beer today?”
Not on purpose. Bacteria in beer = bad beer.
I don’t know what the common types of yeast produce.
I was perscribed Tetracycline by my dermatologist for acne treatment. It worked very well except now there are commercials on TV asking if I would like to participate in a class action lawsuit against the drug maker. I don’t care what the side effects are/were, it greatly improved my life.
It would have been nice to administer through beer instead of pill form.
This is no secret. Dilluted beer (just enough to still be hydrating) was the drink of choice in 17th-18th century England, to prevent disease.
alcohol is an antiseptic..
OTOH, our forebears (five, I raise you one) were subject to a host of mysterious plagues and epidemics on a regular basis. Maybe some of their brewing accidents had less than these happy results.
I'd be more impressed if our ancestors had figured out Malaria, or Typhus on a shorter schedule.
My wife spent her early years in Communist China, where tetracycline was passed around like candy for any illness. I don't know of other side-effects, but it tends to make bones ie) teeth, gray and discolored. You can clearly identify someone in their 30's and 40's from the generation having what they call "tetracycline teeth."
Further proof that beer is good for you.

I wonder if this might convince my wife that beer is really medicine and good for us?
Could be an interesting thread.
Beer and health related ping !
Beer is good for you and it makes you smart.
After all, it made Budweiser ;>)
Cheers,

Just be careful what you say to these drunkards. ;-)
Ah, but they’re healthy drunkards.
And, of course for even more reasons to drink beer, there’s this one from last week:
