Would this be an unhealthy amount of craft beer to drink over a 4 day period?

[Anonymous]

My family will be out of state for 4 days and I plan to buy a 6 pack of bottled craft beer that is around 5% alcohol volume. Craft beer has health benifits when consumed in 2 pints max (equivalent to 2 bottles of beer) per day. I will have two on day 1, one on day 2, two on day 3, and one on day 4.

Yes, unhealthy amount

No, you are getting the health benefits

[VampireEmpress]

I just googled it, and it might really have health benefits... apparently it can be healthier than red wine. but I think you're supposed to drink it moderately, not all at once.

One to two a day is within the rang of receiving the health benefits and none of the bad effects of alcohol. I'll be alternating 2-1-2-1.

[VampireEmpress]

I think you'll be fine.

Why the hell do you think it has 'health benefits'?

[Asker]

Google "health benefits of craft beer" and check out what different sites have to say.

[far2gud4u]

Lol water is healthier... I know my stuff when it comes to this and you fell victim to a very clever marketing ploy

[Asker]

So the added vitamins, silicon for bone strength, increase in hdl levels, increased insulin sensitivity, lower blood pressure, xanthohumol, prevention of blood clots, reduced kidney stones, and possibly reducing the risk of mental decline from a high quality pint of craft beer coupled with about 10 cups of water wouldn't be healthy?

[far2gud4u]

no. you put vitamins in your body like that and it goes through too fast to be absorbed so you pee it out.
please note this is something that is only marketed stateside even though our breweries are worldwide famous for these sorts of beers and ales... do you know why? Because we cannot market a product in the UK falsely so it is redundant. All the sugar in craft beer and you think it actually lowers blood pressure? 'Added' anything is also bad for you.

6 beers in 4 days, you will be fine

Why don't you just eat fruits and vegetables if it's 'health benefits' you're after?

[Asker]

Because I will be drinking tasty craft beer in addition to eating fruits and vegetables and exercising everyday.

[CaliforniaMaki]

You're just saying that -.-
Well, I guess the amount per day isn't much anyway soooo...

[Asker]

The two cups of broccoli I am about to prepare is in my favor.

It's hardly going to give you liver cancer. Is craft beer just real ale?

[Asker]

It is, "a beer with a distinctive flavor, produced in small quantities and distributed in a particular region." It is high quality, unlike these mass produced water beers like bud.

[GirlScoutsRevenge]

So is it lager or ale?

[Asker]

Most likely will be a lager, but could also end up being a pale ale.

I imagine once a day wouldn't hurt you -shrugs-

I think it's fine.
