Question 1

are there any benefits to drinking root beer?

Accepted Answer

Root Beer: Is root beer healthy;it's hard to say in my opinion . There are a number of herbs and spices that are beneficial but my question would be do you get any significant amount of these ingredients to make a difference. Then there's the question of the amount of sugar in a can. Refined sugar in any form is not really good for you.

Question 2

is light beer or dark beer "healthier" for you? are there any health benefits?

Accepted Answer

Beer Myths: Please do not believe everything you hear. There is no difference and no health or nutritional benefits regardless what kind of beer you prefer. Moderation is the key.
Cheers!

Question 3

what are the positive benefits of drinking a glass of beer a day?

Accepted Answer

If not addicted: If the person does not have medical constraints or is not alcohol dependent or abusive, moderate drinking is equivalent to have one drink or one beer daily  for prevention or lower risk of developing heart disease, possibly reduce both risk of abrain stroke and possibly diabetes.

Question 4

are there health benefits to drinking a glass of beer every day?

Accepted Answer

Depends on who you: read or talk to. Guinness advertises that it is "good for you," but there is not much evidence that beer is different from wine or distilled spirits. One drink per day (up to 2 max in men, but only 1 in women and men&gt;60) can raise HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol). However, more than 2 drinks/day begins to increase blood pressure and cause alcohol-related organ toxicities and dependency.

Question 5

is there any health benefits in drinking stout?

Accepted Answer

Not really: There is evidence that low doses of alcohol (1 drink per day) may increase our good cholesterol (HDL).  There is no evidence that beer, stout or distilled spirits are any better or worse in doing this. Red wines contain another chemical (resveratrol) that may have some health benefits, but is also found in red grape juice, and the cardiac benefits are far greater with modest exercise than alcohol

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 7

can i eat medicine after beer?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

can beer take away your appetite?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Beer has calories so it fills you up.

Question 9

what are beers that are low in purine?

Accepted Answer

All relatively low : I assume you're trying to decrease the risk of gout attacks. All beers are relatively low. Look here: http://www.Acumedico.Com/purine.Htm.
If gout is the issue it's more important to reduce sugar and especially high fructose corn syrup intake. Gout comes from an inefficient or impaired liver. All alcohol impairs liver function, as do many medications. The best approach is a low carb diet.

Question 10
