Beer improves metabolism, and many doctors consider that it is better to drink beer often (maybe every day), but with moderate portions (100-200 ml), than rarely but with huge portions.

1. Beer strengthens cordial muscle.
There are lots of potassium, magnesium, phosphorus in beer and it is excellent prophylaxis of myocardial infarction (heart attack), hypertension and heart failure. And nonalcoholic beer and dark beer of some brands could decreases the possibility of blood coagulability and thus decreases the risk of clots formation.

2. Beer appeases and cheers up.
Hops bitterness renders drowse, and alkaloid isomorphine which is in hop by chemical characteristics is analogous to morphine.

3. Beer withdraws uric stones.
Many sorts of beer withdraw uric stones. It happens like that: potassium intensifies natrium and chlorine segregation by kidneys, and urine formation deeply increases. Thus demineralization of organism happens and uric stones are being withdrawn.

4. Beer softens skin and enlarges breast.
In XVI century pharmaceutical chemists recommended women to wash themselves with beer in order to have soft skin. And Prussian Queen Louise who had flat breast was advised to drink beer and smear her breast with beer three times per day.

5. Beer strengthen bones.
Beer is the main source of silicon. This mineral plays a large role in strength of bone and muscle system.

6. In 100 grams of beer are only 37 Kcal.
To compare in 100 gram of kefir − 59 Kcal. That means that drinking beer after work is not so harmful for the figure. And so called “beer bellies” form not from beer but from sausages to beer.

7. Beer is good for mental work.
There are lots of group B and P vitamins in malt and hop, and they improve mental activity.

8. Beer hastens hair growth.
And vitamins B and P affect hair growth. It is recommended to make nourishing masks from beer for hair once a week. And if you wet your clean hair with beer and then use hair rollers – after that you will get tight and bright ringlets.

9. Beer is good while having cold.
Beer has bactericidal behaviour, if you drink warm beer while having cold or flu, it is possible to recover faster. In Medieval times during plague and cholera epidemic brewery workers rarely were ill. And while having toothache before teeth were rinsed with beer.

10. Beer is good for male potency.
Zinc which is in beer is good for male potency and it prevents prostate inflammation.

Ok I am off for another pint. Hey it’s good for me.

Number 2 confuses me, although I agree with it. I think a better(at least for the layperson like me) explanation would be that it works like good food: Delicious things tend to make one cheery!

@Joel: HAHAHA… nice one.

@Brant:
This is great news to all avid beer drinkers all over the world (myself included). Although I knew that beer has some beneficial properties, I never knew that they can actually soften the skin. Anyway, Thanks for posting this. Bye.. Gotta go and grab a bottle of beer.

Wow,I’m sorry but this article is best described as shite, 1 -cordial, you mean cardiac? 5 Beer does not strengthen bones as bones do not consist of silicon, they are primarily composed of calcium. Also, would it hurt to cite a few sources for some of your claims?

Justin May 9, 2008 at 4:49 pm

Y’know, I’m going to go ahead and believe everything on that list. Not because I think it’s true, but because I want to believe it’s true.

meowth, that’s right! :D

Silicon is indeed required for healthy bones. It is a micronutrient and, while its role is not clear, “recent data suggest that soluble silicate may promote collagen formation (an essential component of bone) and, in collaboration with Harvard and Tufts Universities in the USA, we have shown that dietary silicon intake is positively associated with bone mineral density (BMD), at least for men and pre-menopausal women.” (taken from Cambridge MRC-HNR web site)

You should google before you post, it is not that hard. Really.

It is really nice to hear the benifits of beer but people dint differentiate the content of alcohol in it. We would like to know whether the above benefits would be applicable for stronge beers which contains more than 6 % of alcohol in it.

Drink is good for you. Keep drinking. I am not a doctor but its good to drink.

People that don’t drink are obviously at risk from health problems. Wonder why they don’t give you drink at the hospital if its has all these benefits.

When you guys/gals get ill have a drink – it will do all those good things for your health.

Hey, I’ve been drinking beer since I was 15 years old, I’m now 84 —- it works for me. (including #10)

I wonder if there is a type of beer which is better for you. I know Stroh’s cleans out my colon better than anything else.

Stimpy July 1, 2009 at 11:38 pm

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. Wish it were true.

When I was young, I could drink beer everyday and still look good. As I got older, I had to cut back to one or two days a week. The bottom line is beer has a lot of calories. Beer also makes one hungry for fattening foods. the combination of eating and drinking and slowing down metabolism makes one gain internal belly fat. It took me five years of working out and eating healthy to lose my “beer gut”. I now sleep better, look good in a swimsuit again, and don’t have to feel like an alcoholic. Plus, beer costs a lot if you drink everyday. I still drink beer, once a week, but I’m really glad not to be fat anymore.
