But, as anyone who has muddled through the morning after an especially indulgent night knows, beer carries consequences. From short term issues like hangovers to the longer term consequences of binge drinking like cirrhosis and alcoholism, beer certainly has a dark edge. Indeed, many choose to abstain from alcohol altogether in order to avoid the bad decisions associated with too much drinking or the health effects. It may surprise you to learn, then, that beer may not be all bad:

Habitual light to moderate alcohol intake (up to 1 drink per day for women and 1 or 2 drinks per day for men) is associated with decreased risks for total mortality, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, and stroke.
That's right! Kicking back a brew or two with dinner might be a healthy habit!
So, what are your feelings on beer? Do you regularly imbibe or are you a teetotaler? Do you enjoy the refreshing bitterness of a bold brew or does the thought of tipping back an ale ail you? Do you drink moderately or do you go all out? What is your favorite beer?
Additionally, if you are a fond friend of the foamy freshness, are you at all concerned about this potential development?

My opinions: I like beer quite a bit, though more for flavor than inebriation. I'd consider myself a moderate, frequent drinker of beer as I have a beer or two fairly often throughout the week. I am a bit worried about the future of barley and what it means for my sumptious suds, although it's hardly the biggest concern from climate change. I like a lot of beers but my favorites would have to be: Guinness Extra Stout or most anything from Deschutes Brewery.
What say you?
