Beer can be good ok

At last, the news that anyone who spends more time in the pub than they know that they should has been waiting for, beer can be good for you!

This follows the same principles that we have seen with red wine, according to research by the students at Rice University in Texas, they feel that beer should be considered as being in the same category as red wine.

Nevertheless, before we all run out and grab a quick pint. It is not all beer that is good for you; in fact is it not the beer at all, rather the yeast that has been added to it during the brewing process.

The yeast that is found in red wine is known as Resveratol, it is well known for its anti aging properties and if added to beer would produce what is being named as a biobeer.

However, as with all things, drinkers will still get drunk and suffer from the other problems associated with drinking if they over do it.
