Let's get this out of the way immediately: Too much alcohol in any form is bad for your health. After all, alcohol itself contains roughly zero health benefits, drinking it in excess over time could result in liver damage, and further insidious side effects include cancer risk, osteoporosis, infertility, weight gain, depression, prolonged slurred speech, pancreatitis, and heart disease. Whether you're drinking lower-alcohol beer or higher-alcohol spirits or the fanciest of French wines, overdoing it can wreak havoc on your body over time.
That doesn't mean all alcoholic beverages are created equal, of course. A light, low-calorie beer will likely be better for you than its better-tasting craft counterpart that contains 450 calories. And if you're a fan of the hard stuff, know that sipping your favorite rum neat in a small glass invariably won't be as bad for your body as drinking the same amount of rum mixed in a classic daiquiri that comes loaded with a high dose of simple syrup. (A single ounce of the syrupy goop contains more than five teaspoons of added sugar. As we've reported in the past, too many added sugars will lead to more belly fat, raise your blood pressure, affect the way your brain functions, cause your skin to sag, and double your risk of dying from heart disease.)

Pure grain alcohol. Cut’s down on the effects of flouridation of water that affects your ‘purity of essence’...Just sayin’.
... In terms of types of alcoholic drinks, the highest fluoride levels were determined in beers and wines, while the lowest levels were observed in vodkas.

Generally the higher the proof, the lower the fluoride but yea, PGA wins
I tend to agree with that but alcohol has nothing to do with it. Those drinks happen to be loaded with sugar and empty calories. In fact, having just one of these drinks is the equivalent of eating several candy bars.
If I sat down and ate five full-size Milky Way bars in front of you, you might look at me in disgust and call me a glutton. But if you had a couple of margarita that night at your favorite Mexican cantina, it would be about the same thing!
Nothing to do with the temperature of the fire,it is the temperature of the mash.
When can I come for dinner ? I’ll bring a good red.
What kind of man would drink “lite” beer. Better off gulping dishwater.
Here’s an interesting article about Jobs diet. Nothing healthy about being vegan/fructarian.
Also interesting is he was a smelly asshole that was hard to get along with when he was a technician working at Atari for $5.00 an hr.
Chocolate flavored vodka is tasty over ice ...
Ah, temperature of the mash. Yet still, can you kill rats with methanol soaked grain? Rat food to kill rats?! What else could a farmer do with methanol?

I used to get so mad that 3 of 4 beers on tap at my VFW were light beers.
I had no idea so many combat vets were watching their girlish figures...
