Is drinking beer harmful for health ??!


Question:

Is drinking beer harmful for health ??


Answers:
There have been a number of studies in the last ten years that have indicated that moderate drinking is correlated with improved health. Moderate generally means no more than 1-2 drinks per day. Few of these studies have tried to prove what the mechanism is but this may be related to a reduction in stress or an enhanced feeling of well-being.

Most of the interest in these studies has been on red wine since red wine includes a compound which has been shown to be beneficial for heart health.

Little has been written that I'm aware of about the specific benefits or problems associated with alchohol from beer.

These studies do not support more frequent drinking which almost everything I've read suggests is deterimental to your physical well being. Heavy drinking puts stress on the liver and may have neurological effects as well.

Beer does however have one additional health related issue. Ignoring the alchohol, beer is basically liquid bread, chock full of carbohydrate. Drinking beer is more fattening than wine and distilled spirits. This will have an impact on your weight management program.

None of this prevents me from having a Sam or two when I get home.

Not in moderation.

Yes it is for long term period. I still don't understand why people still choose to drink.

Yes. more than 3 or 4 units a day can damage your liver, kidneys, pancreas, stomach and brain.

Too much is harmful yes, in moderation you'll be fine.

I am European(Greek),i don't know what doctors tell in you in the States,but hear THEY tell us that 2-3 beers or 2 glass of wine or 1 whisky a day,is very good for our health.
If you are alchoholic propably will day fast,if you never drink is harmful for your health too.
