Beer is good for what "ales" you


Well we have known this all along, but now Dr. Ken Walker a.k.a. syndicated columnist, W.Gifford Jones has given his stamp of approval.

"Beer has no caffeine, no cholesterol, no fat," says Dr. Ken Walker. "In moderation, it is very sound medication." He even goes on to say it can be credited with saving lives.

Similar arguments have been made about the medicinal qualities of red wine. A couple of beers a night is good, apparently. Three or four is OK. But any more is trouble. The real problem, according to Walker, is the habits that go along with beer. Beer bellies aren't just the result of drinking too many suds. It's the nachos dripping with cheese, chips, and fried chicken wings that are often consumed with beer.

In the Middle Ages, beer was safer to consume than water. And until recently some countries gave pregnant women a half-pint of Stout a day because it was considered nutritious.
