Healthy Beer Drinking

For sure, men love their alcohol: The average American guy drinks about 23 gallons of beer, 15 pints of wine and 10 pints of spirits every year. All in all, each year, about 200 million barrels (that's 6.2 billion gallons) of beer are produced, and we buy about $116 billion worth of alcoholic beverages.
Beer: The Next Health Drink?
Sometimes, beer loves us back too: Studies have suggested that, when consumed in moderation, beer has many health benefits. For instance, moderate amounts of alcohol may be good for the heart.
An Emory University study involving over 2,200 elderly men and women discovered that those who consumed at least 1.5 drinks daily had up to a 50 percent lesser risk of suffering from heart failure. Another study conducted by Germany, France and the United Kingdom found that moderate consumption of beer or wine may have anti-inflammatory properties, which can lower the risk coronary heart disease. The French, who drink lots of red wine and have the highest per capita alcohol consumption, actually have one of the lowest rates of coronary heart disease mortality.
