2. Low in Calorie
There is a misconception regarding beer that it increases weight. The beer has actually very less calorie than other beverages and juices. If you are a weight watcher this is a good point for you. Many fruit juice and other beverages have more calorie than beer. Some fruit juice contains more sugar than beer. Usually, a 12oz beer can have around 100 calories. This amount is considered a good fit for an average person with about 2000-2500 calories per day need. Only plain tea and water has lesser calorie than beer in regular drinks. It is also low in carbohydrates that can cause weight gain issue. So without carbohydrates and low calories, beer is safe for weight watchers. So if you drink 1-2 beers per day, it will not give you additional calorie.
Beer Helps in Heart Disease
3. Beer is Good for Your Heart
You will be a little surprised by this but it is a fact. Dark beer has the second most amount of antioxidants after red wine. Antioxidants are good for your heart's healthy functioning. Red wine is the main reason why French people have one of the lowest heart disease rates in the world. American Heart Association pointed out that there is no clear evidence to show red wine is healthier than a dark beer. As per a research, moderate consumption of beer prevents coronary disease.

4. Beer Helps Fighting Cancer Cells
This is again a little surprising for many. The beer has antioxidants and it helps fighting cancer cells. Antioxidants in natural fruits and vegetables help your body providing antioxidants.

At The End...
Once again, I am not trying to promote drinking here but just stating out some of the benefits given by moderate beer consumption. These benefits for beer consumption are applied for a moderate and safe drinking only. I have seen people who drink more than they can handle and get drunk. Getting drunk will get you nowhere, it will even hurt you as you will have no control over your mind. I warn, do not ever drink if you need to drive later on. It is illegal to drink and drive. You will hurt not only yourself but to others as well. Beer should be consumed only at a safe place and DO NOT EVER DRINK and DRIVE. It is very dangerous for you, your family and others as well. So many fatalities happen each year due to drink and drive. Hope my post helps you get some more information and insights regarding beer.
