A beer a day...is this good for you?

[dzuljas]

I was reading on some studies that have found that low alcohol consumption helps improve circulation, liver function, and beer is a good antioxidant......anyone else know of this.....i was wondering because I usually drink a beer every night with my dinner, it doesnt mess up protein synthesis in those low amounts right?

yep, a beer a day is good to go. A little alcohol will thin the blood, which is why it can help circulation. Dark beer contains more of the antioxidants. The carbonation from the beer could slow down digestion, but I doubt it will to a noticeable degree.

mmmm, some guinness sounds good right now.

Yeah..................I read that in Muscular Development a couple of months ago. In moderation though, not downing 6 packs everyday....................................on a sidenote, has anyone heard of that Michelob Ultra I think it's called, I heard on the radio. Low-carb beer........... ....................what will they think of next...................non-alcoholic JackDaniels?
