Question 1

feet & ankles swell when drink beer, but not whiskey why?

Accepted Answer

Sugars: There are more empty carbohydrate calories, i assume, in your beer. This may put you into a hyperglycemia and thus put strain on your heart muscle. Strained heart muscle makes the heart less effective in bringing all of the blood back from the lower extremities.  I would get tested for diabetes and probably avoid alcohol if your heart is this sensitive.

Question 2

why is it that i always have nasal allergies the day after i drink beer?

Accepted Answer

Common side effect: Of alcohol is vasodilatation, the opening up of blood vessels. In the skin, this is what causes red face and red eyes, in the nose and mucous membranes it causes congestion which may seem like it is allergic, but the allergy is to alcohol.  When someone gets negative symptoms from a drug, but continues that drug, it may indicate a problem. Talk with your doctor or mental health counselor about it.

Question 3

how to tell why i always have nasal allergies the day after i drink beer?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Alcohol has histamine releasing properties, and following drinking some people may have congestion. This is not really allergy.  However some people may have true allergy to components of any beverage, whether beer or anything else, and develop allergic responses. I would avoid exposure to it, or talk to your doctor about a referral to an allergist. If you have trouble not drinking beer, get help.

Question 4

do i gain weight if i drink beer?

Accepted Answer

Empty Calories: Yes, absolutely.  Beer is full of carbohydrates, the least helpful calorie to consume and usually all of the calories in alcohol are not needed for nutrition. And, excess calories from carbs become fat storage very quickly.

Question 5

why do i feel fat when i drink beer?

Accepted Answer

See details: Beer causes abdominal bloating for some and beer is highly high in calories, especially if you drink several at a time.

Question 6

is it okay to drink beer then working out ?

Accepted Answer

But why would you?: Seriously, if your goal is weight reduction, beer is very high in empty, non-nutritive calories. You can't spot reduce, so aiming for specific reduction in abdominal circumference may prove frustrating. Abdominal exercise will certainly tone your 6-pack which you can show off nicely once total weight reduction is achieved. There is no substitute for healthy eating &amp; exercise to reach your goal.

Question 7

is it okay to drink beer gives me acid refluxsolutions?

Accepted Answer

No its not okay: Healthy people, when something really bothers them, stop doing what bothers them.  EXCEPT, when what they are getting out of that activity is REALLY worth it to them. So, for you, drinking (and I am guessing getting drunk) is more important than pain from eroding your esophagus and possibly ultimately causing damage/bleeding. This sounds to me  like a problem where sobriety is the solution. Try it

Question 8

is it possible for me to drink beer with a uretal stint?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can drink anything you want with a ureteral stent, but how much beer are we talking about?  Safe drinking limits in women are no more than one standard drink (a 12 oz. Beer) daily.  Alcohol impairs healing after any surgical procedure, and also decreases our immune response to infection, so if the stent were just placed, i would not recommend it. If you are drinking more, consider counseling.

Question 9

are there any good reasons to drink beer with your dinner?

Accepted Answer

No: No particular health benefits have been reported.

Question 10

how come men get bigger beer bellies than women even if we don't drink beer?

Accepted Answer

FAT DEPOSITS: Fat deposits in the abdomen even if you don't drink.You could not drink but be eating a lot of fatty food.
