Question 2

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 3

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
