1)Take moderate amounts of alcohol may be good for the heart.
2)Beer can also be good for your brain.
3)The French, who drink lots of red wine and have the highest per capita alcohol consumption, actually have one of the lowest rates of coronary heart disease mortality.
4)Beer can also be unhealthy.
5)To make matters worse, heavy drinking can elevate the levels of NADH, which can lead to the accumulation of fat in the liver in a condition called fatty liver. A liver clogged with fat is not only less efficient in performing its duties, it can also lead to a reduction in the distribution of oxygen and nutrients to the liver's cells.
6)Don't drink on an empty stomachEating a substantial meal before you go out and drink can actually help slow the absorption of alcohol. A full stomach may also help you cut down on the amount of alcohol you can drink.
7)Protect your liverAllow your liver to recover by not drinking alcohol every day -- in fact, have as many alcohol-free days as possible between drinking.

Beer and alcohol are very important parts of a man's life -- many of us can't imagine life without our beloved drink of choice -- but remember that drinking too much can lead to ruins.
