A member asked:

Is beer good for a person's physical and mental health?

Dr. Lynne Weixel answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Depends: How much? How often? Other specifics about the person? Moderate amounts, not too often for a healthy active adult should be fine - both physically & mentally. Drinking to intoxication, or too often - especially for folk in less than good condition is not healthy - both physically & mentally. Best!
