Beer Fact #7: Beer’s good for the bones

Live Science also claims that while beer is bad for head in the form of hangovers and hard on your liver, it’s good for your bones. It contains silicon, which is good for promoting bone health. But hangovers help put people in check by reminding us that moderation is the key!

Askmen.com also argues that beer can be good for the brain. A study found that light drinkers (1-6 beers per week) to moderate drinkers (7-14 beers per week) have fewer strokes than nondrinkers. This is most likely due to alcohol’s effect in thinning the blood and preventing blood clots in the brain.
