Is Beer Healthy?


I wasn't a big beer fan until a couple years ago. Don't know what happened, but suddenly I liked it. Especially Fat Tire by New Belgium (totally eco-vegan!). When I went gluten-free I got even more into beer, probably because of the novelty of finding the best GF options. That came to a halt when I started a cleanse back in April and I haven't felt the desire to drink much of it since. However, my boyfriend LOVES beer and drinks it like water, which got me curious about the health effects - what are the pros and cons of it? I explored the topic for my recent Organic Authority article called, "The Lowdown: Is Beer A Healthy Drink?"

Check out the piece then let me know what you think - do you like beer? Do your prefer wine? Or are you alcohol free?

I do like the taste of beer, but I hardly ever drink it because it makes me feel too dehydrated and "heavy" - I'd just rather be drinking water or fresh juice! This is very interesting, though, and will keep it in mind next time I do decide to have a drink. :)

As far as alcohol goes, I'm totally a beer girl. I don't drink a lot, probably 1-4 drinks per week, but if a place has a good beer selection, that's probably what I'll go for.

I do love beer...more of a darker beer gal BUT my body has other ideas. When I drink I get stuffed up, runny nose, and miserable (though not all the time). I have yet to figure out what that is all about and since starting my cleanse and eating healthier I have not really had much to drink. Last night was my first time indulging and I paid a hefty price. Pretty sure that will be my last drink for a while!
The article was very informative!
Thanks Whit!!

I prefer wine may be because it smells more like berries.
