Al bundy talks to Marcy about beer

Although beer is a drink that contains alcohol, the alcohol alone doesn’t make it dangerous to your health. Drinking beer excessively is what leads to hangovers, headaches, and the more severe healthy problems. If you drink beer in moderation and avoid getting drunk, you won’t experience any problems with your health.

One of the most common things people say about beer, is that it makes you fat, hence the term “beer belly”. As a whole, beer contains little to no fat, and there are plenty of beer diets out there that you can use to stay thin. The infamous beer belly is caused by consuming too much alcohol, which affects the body’s ability to burn fat. Even though beer can indeed lead to a “beer belly” if you drink too much of it, if you drink in moderation you should be fine.

Even though beer is low in sugar, it can affect your blood sugar levels. Beer contains alcohol, which can drop the natural level of sugar in your blood, leading to low energy levels. If you drink too much beer, you’ll get really tired and go right to sleep. Alcohol in beer will also lower insulin levels as well, which makes it perfect for non diabetics, as it will reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis.

In the past, research has linked beer with reducing the risk for heart disease. Beer contains no cholesterol, although it does have antioxidant qualities that can reduce LDL oxidation, with may help reduce your risk of heart disease. Beer is also an excellent source of fiber, stemming from the malted barley. Beer can also help to reduce stress, if you drink it in moderation.

To get the health benefits that beer provides, you should drink one beer a day. You shouldn’t drink any more than this, as it can easily lead to health problems. Alcohol will thin out your blood, which will protect your heart and reduce the risk of strokes as well. In the past, research has even shown moderate consumption of alcohol can help with improving your memory as well. Then again, if you drink it excessively, it can destroy brain cells – the adverse effect.

Beer is also nutritious, although it can destroy your levels of vitamin C as well. Beer is a great source of fiber, as well as other minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, and several B vitamins such as B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, and B12. Beer contains high levels of these vitamins, along with other minerals that are actually good for your body. Although it offers plenty of B vitamins and other minerals your body needs, it will also destroy your vitamin C – which is why you never want to drink too much of it.

When it all comes down to it, beer may contain over 95% water, yet it is still a diuretic. Due to the fact that beer contains alcohol, it will always be a diuretic. When you drink beer, you should avoid drinking too much and never, ever, drink beer instead of water. Beer can dehydrate your body fairly quickly, which is one of the biggest cons to drinking beer. Although beer does have several health benefits, they can easily be hindered by drinking too much. To stay on the safe side and avoid headaches and other health effects of beer, you should always drink responsibly, never drink too much – and always drink a few glasses of water when you are drinking beer.

Does beer only come in like 24, 12 and 6 other then kegs? Does all beer come in these sizes? Is there like a website that says how much they come in?

I love Sam Adams, but it’s getting to be a bit pricey and I’ve really got to cut back on my spending. What’s a decent cheap beer that comes in a bottle (I hate cans except in the summer). And no crappy 40oz please! Thanks!

I’ve read to crack an egg on your hair or put beer in it but none of it tells how often to do it. Also are there any other ways to make your hair soft and smooth? Or any good prducts? Shampoo/conditioner?

The History of Beer



More people drink beer than know many of the particulars about the history of beer. But, the history of beer is actually quite fascinating. Its origins go back as far as recorded history, where it is mentioned in writing on a slate dated to be from the sixth millennium before Christ. Beer has always been a part of every culture and historians seem to agree that beer was probably developed independently in several different cultures, beginning with the origins of civilization in Mesopotamia and Egypt.



The first chemical evidence of beer has been dated as coming from the time 3500-3100 B.C., and it was found in Iran. In Europe, beer also has a history that goes back to 3000 years before Christ. At first, beer was produced for domestic use, but by the 600s A.D., beer was being exported by monasteries in Europe. During the Middle Ages in Europe, beer was consumed with just about every meal. Amazingly enough, in England during this time period, the amount of beer consumed averaged over sixty gallons per individual each year.



In the thirteenth century, Germany was able to make hopped beer and for the first time began to export it in barrels in great quantities. Hops made beer last longer but when theitr content was ordered by law in England and other countries in the 1300s, it was meant with fierce opposition by those who thought the bitterness distorted the taste of beer. Hops are still used today to give beer its distinctive flavoring. It is the female cones of the hop plant that are used in beer-making.



In medieval times, beer was mostly brewed in home operations, but by the fifteenth century, small commercial breweries started to appear. The English continued to have beer without hops which was called ale. The name, beer, only applied to recipes with hops. One hundred years later, that all changed when in the sixteenth century ales and beers were both made with hops. Then the word, ale, was used to refer to beers that were extra strong.



A Bavarian law was adopted in 1516 that was very important in beer history. This was called the first purity law and it ordered the only ingredients in beer could be water, barley and hops. Yeast was added when discovered in the 1850s. The Industrial Revolution changed everything about beer-making. The hydrometer (1770) and thermometer (1760) were both invented and revolutionized the process of beer-making. Pale malt became the primary malt used because it increased yields.



Today’s beer, especially in America, is the result of a major consolidation of beer companies after World War II. A few large companies took over all the smaller ones and one company would brew all types of beer, from mild and pale ales to lagers, wheat and darker beers.



In the 1980s, microbreweries started to return with many regions starting to once again produce local beers. The brewing industry is one which seems impervious to ups and downs in the economy. The demand for beer has remained strong literally since the beginning of time, and shows no signs of waning in the twenty-first century.

Ancient peoples may have brewed their own beer and wine out of necessity (and brew it they did — back at least as far as 10,000 BC that we know of) after all there was no liquor store or convenience store on the corner to grab a cold six-pack or the latest import.

But, really, this was how if was for them for everything they consumed. From bread and meats to vegetables and oils — it was all “do it yourself.”

It’s all changed today when we can easily go to the store and get just about anything we need. So why try homebrewing your own beer?

Homebrewing is More Common Than You Might Think

Home brewing has become in the past few years one of the country’s fastest growing hobbies.

Almost overnight there are several monthly magazines devoted to the subject. Brewing Techniques, Home Brew, The Complete Joy of Home Brewing, and Extreme Brewing are just a few.

And many online sites are now dedicated to selling home brewing kits and equipment.

Take heart that no matter what your family thinks, if you are interested in home brewing you’re not alone.

What are the Reasons That Home Brewing is Becoming So Popular?

Naturally there are almost as many reasons that people try home brewing as there are home brewers. In other words, everyone has their own reasons and everyone is different.

But a few good reasons keep coming up when home brewers talk to each other:

1. Home brewing is an art. It may be a hobby but there is much skill involved also. People who love to cook are often drawn to home brewing.

2. Every batch of beer is different. Forget trying the latest import of seasonal. With home brewing you always have something new to enjoy.

3. Home brewers are a friendly lot. If there is one thing that home brewers love almost as much as making beer it is talking about making beer. Sharing stories and recipes, trying new batches and just getting together with like minded friends are all reasons many people enjoy home brewing.

Certainly these are all good reasons, but naturally the number one reason most home brewers give for making their own beer is…

4. Taste

There is nothing like being able to adjust the recipes to their own taste and experiment with different ingredients and cooking procedures. Sure there are some basic things that never change, but you can add different ingredients and experiment with different techniques to make your own signature creation.

Adjusting the ingredients can give you a lighter, paler ale or a thicker and heartier stout. Adding incredients, like honey or berries can give you a flavor that cannot be found in the stores.

One Last Reason No One Talks About

5. Although most won’t admit it, many people home brew simply because it is “cool.” If you and your friends like beer there is just nothing like being able to tell them that you make your own. Just watch the face of someone who has made his or her own beer as they offer you a glass.

It’s hard to be that excited about offerng someone a “Bud.”

The step by step process I use to brew malt extract recipe beer. This is a great video to watch if you’re brewing for the first time, or want to know more about how to home brew. Teach everyone what makes a good craft beer!

A Baptist church thinks that if you own a business and you are a minister of God that you shouldnt sell alcohol and beer, cigarettes or lottery tickets! He chose to resign his membership. Do you think its scriptual do make him stop sellin these products?
