My friend Ulag wants to get rid of alcoholic drinks in a phased manner. When he sought my advice I suggested to him to restrict himself to beer leaving all other alcoholic beverages.
Taken in moderate quantities beer is supposed to be the healthiest alcoholic beverage. It contains fibre, malt, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. It has a lower calorific value compared to other intoxicating drinks. It is a well balanced diet according to researchers.
Beer is the national drink in the UK. Some believe that it contains chemicals instead of barley and hops. Another wrong notion is that beer contains fat.
Beer is freely available in local shops, restaurants and pubs and people meet there to socialize and share happiness. Beer culture is predominant in Europe. Americans feel that it is not a drink for aristocratic society and they prefer wine.
In the light of the above we can say boldly that beer is good for health in limited quantities. It makes both ends meet - you can be an alcoholic and be healthy!
