A member asked:

Is beer good for prostatitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: In social amounts it is neither good nor bad. In high doses, it has been associated with prostate cancer. See a urologist or men's health expert to look for appropriate ways to help your prostate, which may include prostatic massage, antibiotics and other measures.
