    Does beer do you any good?

    (any should be in italics in the subject).

    I'm not a big beer drinker, I'm not even a big drinker...

    Yes, beer is calorific and will give you a belly but what I want to know is if I do have the odd social one, is there anything good that can come out of it?

    Protein content, vitamins ?! that I can at least kid myself is replacing stuff I've worked out at the gym.

    Worst thing for gout (rather than port and red wine)!

    So I sadly have to restrict my intake. And I live within crawling distance of the oldest brewer in the UK........ :(

    Water, yeast, malt and barley - beer is essentially liquid bread with hops added for taste.

    Proper beer (not industrialised lagers and ultra cheap bitters) is a good source of soluble fibre and will not cause a large belly (if consumed in moderation), beer guts are generally caused by indulging in fatty foods when ones will power has been lowered after a few beers. Beer covers a very broad spectrum and doesn't have to be beardy (although a good beard is, as any fule knows, a manly attribute which drives the ladies mad with passion) and will almost certainly have something you'll like.
    Go forth and enjoy :D

    therefore you must drink beer every day, probably better wait till after work though....

    This thread made me thirsty. I have nothing to add except:

    Perfection in a glass.

    I kid myself that it has some nutrition for my body after a weights session at the gym (when really I should be at home drinking a protein shake). :|

    Beer could offset the build up of testosterone in your body from working out...

    Warning: Beer Contains Female Hormones
    Yesterday, scientists for Health Canada suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption, considering the results
    of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.

    The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women.

    To test the finding, 100 men were fed 6 pints of beer each. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight,
    talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn’t drive, failed to think rationally,
    argued over nothing, and refused to apologize when wrong.

    No further testing is planned

    Hops and barley are both plants, and therefore should count as two of your five a day surely?

    Had a pint of purple moose in the pen-y-bryn yesterday. It helped me pyschologically :)

    As long as you drink moderately and sensibly, followed by a large Chicken Kebab, though will only work as part of a calorie controlled diet. :)

    This is the kind of optimism I subscribe to.
