Beer lovers, rejoice! Not only does beer taste great, and make you feel "buzzed" on life, beer is also good for you. Well, in moderation.
As pints are poured in bars and restaurants across the country, know that drinking beer has real health benefits.*
There are more than 20 well-done, large international studies that all demonstrate the heart benefits of moderate alcohol consumption. One study, conducted by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) noted a 20 to 40 percent decrease in coronary artery disease in moderate alcohol drinkers. Now, that doesnt mean drinking more is better.
Drinking beer responsibly is drinking healthy. Moderate consumption of beer (alcohol) results in an increase in HDL (good cholesterol) and a decrease in LDL (bad cholesterol), along with an improvement in both HDL and LDL particle size.
So, dont worry about the medical terms; just know that a slightly "buzzed" heart is a happy heart.

Huh. Still strange you are here. Normally liberals are the perpetually offended.
It seems you are offended that I don’t like great big pictures of barely dressed women popping up on my computer and that I think I should be able to choose or not choose what I look at. I was interested in the thread because of the claim that there were health benefits to drinking beer. I did not expect it to degrade into a men’s locker room. Women are here, too.
Is the median age on this thread even of legal drinking age? Doesn’t seem so.
