No, Dustin it is the things we do in excess that harm us. You do have to keep alert though, some who become alcoholics just gradually cross a line and slip into excessive drinking. You sound really smart, so I think a little here and there is not going to harm you.

Nope. It actually is healthy for you.

starting in moderation often does not end in moderation

It's like everything else. All's fine in moderation.

yes

Absolutely not. If you enjoy it, drinking in moderation will benefit your mental and physical well-being and don't listen to any hollier than thou puritans who try to tell you otherwise.

Beer in moderation has several helth benefits, especially beers that use more hops. Even the Bible has nothing to say against drinking in moderation. However, it does have a lot to say against drunkeness.

The key, and the hard part for most, is to keep the moderation in the equation. And make sure that whoever is driving is not drinking. Does no good for you to drink in moderation if you get in the car with someone drunk and die in an accident.

No if you stick to that quota.

It's sociable, gets you meeting friends and pleasant, especially on a hot summers night. I love beer for that.

well a couple of beers never hurt anyone along as its not a constant and daily thing. And one glass of red wine is very good for the heart and you can do this on a daily basis.

Actually, Red wine is very good for the heart. In moderation of course. I hate how in schools they teach you that drinking is going to kill you the first time. Goodness. Drinking is fine in moderation and if you know to eat food with it. Alcohol every once in a while can help someone calm down. As long as you don't take it too far, drinking a couple beers a couple nights a week wont hurt you at all.

Well it does add calories, but small quantities of alcohol are actually good for you. It about statistically equals out at around three drinks. That is where the damage to your liver is worse than the benefit to your circulatory system.

So I guess it depends on what you mean by a few beers. You are better off having one every day than drinking 7 in two days.

No not at all. Get into it. Cleans up the blood vessels of cholesterol deposits.

One or two beers a few nights a week can help you relax which is a good thing.
