beer

How much beer? Beer has a lot of carbohydrates. Too much can add pounds to your frame, and can cause havoc to someone with diabetes.

Also, a bottle of beer is equal to one drink of hard liquor in alcohol content. So, if you down a six-pack, it is like having six drinks of hard liquor, and can make you VERY drunk. If a person has the genetic predisposition to alcoholism, enough beer drinking can set it off!

It is a matter of amount. A bottle of beer at dinner won't kill you. Too much, like too much of anything, can cause problems!

Quantity is key indeed. 1 or 2 a day won't hurt you, and some recent studies have shown that beer may be higher in antioxidants than red wine, and could actually be beneficial to your health. It is healthier to drink any alcohol moderately, on a daily basis, than it is to just binge on the weekends.

I agree with the others. It all depends on the amount you consume.
