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 doesnt 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, dont worry about the medical terms; just know that a slightly "buzzed" heart is a happy heart.

I always like the way smelled but when ever I drank even a little bit, I got an immediate headache. I decided beer was not for me. Then a few years ago I kinda forgot about the headaches and gave it one more chance.
My throat got tight, it didn’t close up completely but tight enough to scare me half to death. No more beer for me ever!

I don’t even like the smell. In fact I hate the smell. Disgusting stuff. I don’t get it.

“Apparently it’s good for upper-body strength, too. I mean, do you REALIZE what a dozen liters of beer weighs?”
No, and neither does the wench. Those liter glasses are 2/3 beer and 1/3 foam. But I’ll take the good with the bad when she has to lean down to drop the beer on the table.

Sorry, I totally was not trying to lecture you.
I’ve also had some of the world’s best and am just an enthusiast.

I also don’t like brussel sprouts. My aunt used to make them with one dot of cheese on each and I felt like they were green and yellow eyeballs looking back at me.
