Any really good reason to drink?!


Question: Any really good reason to drink!?
Given the fact that alcohol can cause or help to cause so many problems (for example, drunken crashes, people who are really abusive when drunk, etc) is there any really good reason to drink alcoholic beverages!? Don't the risks outweigh the benefits!? Are there even any benefits!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
My reasons:
1!. To relax after a long day at work!.
2!. To have fun, I usually laugh & joke alot when I drink w/friends & coworkers its all about having a good time!.
3!. For the wine, studies has shown that it has some good health benefits for the heart staying young!.

The risks lies with the people that misuse it!. Irresponsible/immature people that abuse alcohol thats where the problem is, they just don't know how to control themselves, they misuse it by drinking too much that can be at a toxic level in their body, they don't think, therefore it impares their judgement & make wrong decisions when intoxicated so its the risk w/people that can't control themselves & misuse it!. Moderation is the key, drink responsibly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Besides the fact that good craft beer is very tasty and there are so many styles that I will never run out of beers to enjoy,
there are many health benefits!.

Good craft beer (not cheaply produced macro-brews like Bud, Coors, etc!.) has MANY benefits when consumed in moderation (1-3 a day, depending on your size, metabolism, etc!.)!.

-Beer made from dark malts contains antioxidants that are small molecules, making it easily absorbed by the body, even easier than those in wine!.

-Beer contains b-vitamins, minerals & proteins!.

-Alcohol in moderation prevents coronary disease, raises the level of good cholesterol (HDL), prevents stroke & blood clots!.

-Hops in beer also promote mental awareness & fight viruses & cancer!.

Overindulging in any kind of alcohol has negative affects!. All alcohol is high in calories, but as long as you don't overindulge too often, don't eat too much crap & get some exercise, it is perfectly fine, even beneficial, to have a drink or two per day!.

the only benifit is getting drunk!.!. to some people this is how they cope with stress or try to escape from their problems!.!. it's gives them comfort somehow!.!.

not drinking to excess, has much less risk and still the same 'benifits' as getting completely plastered!.!.

alot of people recomend a glass or two of redwine a day mearly for antioxidizing properties!.!.

and then there's the social aspect of it!.!.

it's like "why do people smoke!?"Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most recent studies state that one drink of alcohol is good for a person's heart!. More than two drinks per day and alcohol is harmful!. Red wine has anti-oxidants and one glass a day is good!.

Another reason people drink is that it is fun, particularly in the company of friends!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
