Research increasingly indicates health benefits of beer could surpass wine More current stuff here: http://news.google.com/archivesearc...=2007&as_hdate=2007&lnav=d0&ldrange=1992,2006 Love 'em both, personally. Chose beer because it fits in with a wider range of my activities.
Beer. Tons and tons of imported beer from all over. I love wine with a meal, but that's the only time I drink it.
It's sooooo hot! Milk was a bad choice! Plus...some riverwater in your wine, boooo. Some riverwater in your can of beer, whatever.
I would've picked beer 1 month ago. But I've become a wine guy ever since, because I don't want to grow a belly.
12 oz beer = 150 calories 12 oz lite beer = 110 calories 5 oz wine = 90 calories http://www.dietitian.com/alcohol.html
I choose wine. It's so versatile. You can cook a meal with it. Poach some pears in it for desert. Plus it's loaded in antioxidants and fights heart disease. But i like it coz it lends a certain air of pretentious snobery. Nothing like drinking a glass of vintage Romanée Conti and thumbing one's nose at the beer drinking redneck peasants.
Hmm, from looking on the internet, beer may not be as bad as I thought. I wouldn't say that it's healthier but from a lot of the articles I looked through, a lot seem to say that it is could be as healthy. One theme that I did see was that people who drink wine typically have healthier lifestyles and eat healthier food.
Typically, you can drink a lot more beer than you can wine. It is pretty easy to polish off a pitcher of beer while it is a lot tougher to drink an entire bottle of wine. I've done it, don't get me wrong, but not often. I can regularly knock out a pitcher of beer and then some.
Outstanding. Thanks for the heads up. Thought I'd mention: I'm jonesing for a river trip. May can't get here fast enough. Hell, the first weekend the temperatures are in the 90s, I may head up there.
Exactly. What would you rather have when having a cheeseburger, pizza, fried chicken? Beer goes more with American food...(and German)
That's a tough one...........I love wine and consider myself a bit of a snob, but I'd hate to be deprived of beer. Thank goodness I don't have to make this decision. I love to tout the health benefits of either to anyone who ever raises their eyebrows at my consumptiveness.............but my guess is that all these health "studies" are either pandering to a very influential industry or are outright being paid for their findings.
I agree, I prefer beer with those foods absolutely. I'd still take a great glass of wine over a great beer because to me, there's no comparison.
