While slamming a 12 pack every night might be detrimental to one’s health, a few beers here and there may actually be good for your health.  According to a recent article from the Journal of Science of Food and Agriculture, beer contains a large amount of silicon in soluble form.  So this probably has you wondering, what does that have to do with my diet?

Well, beer in western countries has been known to be made with large amounts of hops, or flowers often used to flavor our favorite malted beverage.  These hops are known to be full of dietary silicon – oftentimes four times the amount found in malt. This dietary silicon found in the hops has been found to promote healthy bones!

So while it may not be in your best interest to use the local watering hole to get you vitamins, it is good to know that beer (in moderation) may actually be good for you!

I have always wanted to see an infographic like this.  In true American fashion it profiles the amount of beer that is drank per capita. Breaking it down by state and looking at the regions you can get an idea of the party states. The shocker here has to be Montana.  Who ever would have thought those people drank so much?

If you happen to be a drinker than you know what a few beers a day can do to your stomach.  Have you ever done the math? 10 beers that are 150 calories each is 1,500 calories!  Who cares what this does to my liver, my abs are going to look like Chris Farley’s did.  If you want to know how to get the best bang for your buck then look at Beer Calories.  Here you can see the alc. percent and number of calories per beer.  Pick your poison.

We probably ran something like this a few months back, but its always something good to know.  You have that lukewarm beer thats been in your backseat overnight and you’re getting really thirsty.  Well the Dumb LIttle Man blog wrote an article on how to chill a beer in 3 minutes.   Check it out..

Here is how he took beer from 80+ degrees to (seemingly) 40 degrees in about 3 minutes.
