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.

• 2. Hops have vitamins

There's almost as many good beers as there are good women.

Prost!

Beer is G_Ds way of saying that he loves us and wants us to be happy. "Ben Franklin" Every night I say my prays and thank Him for the wonderful beer I have ingested that day.

[jazusamo]

Dang, I’ve seen a lot of beer can holders but never one like that. Is it patented? LOL!

[lostboy61]

Damn! smoke came out my ears I was laughing so hard.

[lostboy61]

This is why they should not sell beer in Canada! Hoosiers!

I mean it’s written right there.

I’m more or less an agnostic, but I figure if there is a God, he provided us with women, dogs, beer, and weed, so we’re on the same wavelength and we’re good.

Frankly this thread does not sell the virtue of beer. I wish people would keep their girly pictures for their own personal use and stop posting them to political forums. They just make themselves look foolish.

[TruthWillWin]

Won’t work well. Beer will get warm and may slip out of your hand.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I didn’t even know Johnson City had its own brand. Indigenous Upper East Tennessee, hey? I had no idea. That’s how much I know about beer. Yee Haw!

Love you, my sweet don-o.

Pretty self-centered attitude. I feel sorry for any woman in your life.

You're a genuine jerkwad to get that out of what I posted.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

The beer I had tasted like someone had taken real bad pepperoni and Hamm’s and mixed them in a blender.

[TheThirdRuffian]

This is a heterosexual forum.

Since you apparently disdain the female form, I suggest the DU or where ever gays hang out.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I am female. I don’t get my jollies from viewing barely dressed women. If that offends you, you leave.
