Beer lovers, rejoice! Not only does beer taste great, and make you feel "buzzed" on life, beer is also good for you. Well, in moderation.
As pints are poured in bars and restaurants across the country, know that drinking beer has real health benefits.*
-
1. Decreased incidence of heart disease
There are more than 20 well-done, large international studies that all demonstrate the heart benefits of moderate alcohol consumption. One study, conducted by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) noted a 20 to 40 percent decrease in coronary artery disease in moderate alcohol drinkers. Now, that doesn’t mean drinking more is better.
Drinking beer responsibly is drinking healthy. Moderate consumption of beer (alcohol) results in an increase in HDL (good cholesterol) and a decrease in LDL (bad cholesterol), along with an improvement in both HDL and LDL particle size.
So, don’t worry about the medical terms; just know that a slightly "buzzed" heart is a happy heart.

I don’t care if someone decides it is a superfood. It is nasty.

Then don’t drink the manufactured stuff like Bud and Bud Light, Miller >gak< etc, try the microbrews, you might like them.

No thank you. Hate beer and have no interest in learning to like it.
Coffee, tea, water.....orange juice occasionally. That’s all I like. No beer. No alcohol. No pop. But on the list of what is truly gross, beer is at the top.

I once had sausage flavored beer.
If you hate beer, then you'll absolutely loathe sausage flavored beer.
