A glass of beer a day is one of the best ways in which young women and men can ensure that they have strong and healthy bones, research at a British medical school suggests.
...Non-alcoholic beer was just as rich in silicon as alcoholic versions and certain mineral waters contain high amounts of silicon, Dr Powell said. Otherwise the best food alternatives are green beans or a bowl of cereal. Silicon, however, was especially well absorbed from fluids.

Just one. The article says "a glass," not more than one. Now go forth and control yourself. ;^D

yeah, maybe that is why they call it a beer gut! lol... beer adds weight... Want some hops and malt? ;o)
But in all serious situations, too much beer adds weight, (especially where you don't want it), deteriorates the body, and mentally, it makes you feel good, but boy does it taste great on a hot day basking in the sun...(I have given it up for awhile) ;o(.....

Just one. The article says "a glass," not more than one. Now, wait a minute here...let's look at this logically.
If one beer is "good," two beers must be "better," and four beers must be "excellent."

You then should stick with keg stout. In Jasper in Canada last June I was surprised to get really good draught Guinness. I thought we had the monopoly on a properly poured pint of stout over here :-)
