Beer is an alcoholic drink loved by millions of people worldwide. People have generally given alcoholic beverages a lousy name, tagging them as “dangerous and unhealthy.” However, beer has more health benefits than most people realize.
Some of these health benefits are significant, while others are more subtle but no less interesting to know. Below, we have highlighted five health benefits of the famous alcoholic beer.
1. Beer Offers a Lot of Nutritional Value
Believe it or not, beer is an alcoholic drink that contains a lot of nutrients. Some of these nutrients include:
- Antioxidants: The antioxidants in beer are relatively different than the ones found in wine. This fact is because some beer ingredients include Barley and Hops. These substances contain a special kind of antioxidants.
- Vitamin B and protein: These are essential nutrients that the body needs for adequate sustenance and good health.
- Iron, Calcium, and Fiber: These nutrients are found in beer, to varying degrees, and they drastically improve a person’s health. Beer even contains fiber that fills the stomach quickly.
2. Cannabis-infused Beer Can Help Manage Anxiety

Have you ever had anxiety so crippling that you can’t get out of bed? Or have you ever extremely worried over something that has hindered you from planning smartly for the next day? If you have, then beer mixed with cannabis is an excellent way to get rid of the problem. Beers contain alcohol that can have a sedative effect. But CBD can help provide euphoric and positive feelings.
When you take this fantastic combination, the sedatives can calm you down, which reduces your fears and takes your mind off that anxiety. It also helps people adopt a positive outlook on life. When you mix beer containing CBD products with cannabis concentrate products, it can elevate your mood and significantly reduce your anxiety.
However, it would be best not to overdo on it as this would defeat the purpose of feeling relaxed and without worry. When you consume beer in the right amount, it can help you cope with anxiety.
3. Beer Can Support A Healthy Heart Functioning
Several reports have shown that beer improves the heart’s condition and even protects it from many diseases. However, this only works if you drink this alcoholic beverage moderately. Alcohol protects the heart in these ways:
- It narrows the chances of getting heart disease. If you drink moderate amounts of beer every day, it reduces the risks of getting some heart diseases by 35% to 50% compared to people who don’t drink beer. These include heart attacks, a hardening of the heart, and even coronary heart diseases.
- Beer reduces stroke chances. Moderate alcohol effectively reduces the chance of getting a type of stroke called Ischemic stroke. This stroke is a type of condition that occurs when a clot appears in the blood vessel. However, heavy amounts of alcohol can cause an even deadly type of stroke hemorrhagic stroke.
- This alcoholic drink reduces the chances of dying from heart disease. When you take it moderately, beer can reduce the risk of middle-aged people and older people from such perils.

4. Mushroom Infused Beer Can Help Prevent Stones

Mushroom-infused beer is a variant of beer made brewed with medicinal mushrooms. It is a healthy drink thanks to the organic elements included. If you want to get all the pleasant feelings of alcohol without terrible side effects, this variant of beer is for you.
Kidney stones are hazardous substances to have in your body. Unless you treat it as soon as you can, it will lead to severe health complications and even become life-health threatening.
Beer contains many hops that add flavor and act as natural preservatives and stabilizing agents. It also has plenty of kidney health-promoting phytochemicals.
5. It May Support Your Bones
Beer may strengthen bones due to the amount of silicon it contains. Silicon in the form of Orthosilicic acid is an essential nutrient used to develop bones and connective tissue. Silicon also narrows the chance of you getting osteoporosis.
So, if you’re looking for a way to build and continuously maintain your bones. Beer can be an excellent supplement for your diet. However, make sure you don’t take this alcoholic drink in excess.

Final Words
Beer is a beneficial drink that people may drink often. Most people have negative notions about beer, which might not be so. However, refraining from any indulgence in drinking unhealthy amounts of alcohol would be best for you.
Drinking a massive amount of beer can be disadvantageous to your health. Pregnant and lactating mothers must avoid drinking alcohol to prevent their baby from developing health complications. However, if you consume beer in moderate amounts, it can provide you with the multiple health benefits we mentioned above and more!
This is pretty awesome. I had no idea that beer had health benefits. It’s a health food! WOOT!
The key is moderation. As long as you keep your drinking in check and don’t consume too much daily, the benefits will accumulate and will outweigh the bad.
This is fantastic. I’m a huge fan of beer. I love trying new beers of all types. I like knowing that it’s actually healthy for me. That’s awesome.
Oh wow. I had no idea that beer could support a healthy heart or that it had vitamins in it. This was a super interesting read.
I should have known beer had some nutrients in it. It is made from various grains, right? I can’t let any teenager see this — I would never hear the end of it! LOL Thanks for sharing!
Yes, grains and the hops that are used to brew beer have other, unique nutritional qualities.
This is not the first place I’ve heard about the amazing benefits of beer! I know a 92 year old woman that swears her secret to long life is beer! Guess I’ll need to start drinking more of it.
Beer usually gets a bad rep so this is refreshing to see!
I had no idea there were benefits (minus the taste and entertainment)! This was so interesting!
Yes, beer is not a substitute for drinking milk, no. But there is more nutrition than people realize.
I’ve been drinking beer and to be quite honest, I did not know that they are rich in antioxidants. And vitamins and minerals at that. You are right that most of us see it as an unhealthy drink.
It isn’t mentioned in the article, but a large part of the reason people do not know about the positive nutritional aspects of beer is because beer manufacturers are not allowed to put this info on the labels! They are not permitted to refer to beer as food, either. There are health reasons and worries behind this deception, but it is also political.
Mushroom infused beer? Wow! Interesting! I need to try that soon. So good that it lessens stone formation too.
Great news!!!! Because I drink lots of beer.
Wow so many benefits! I had no idea there was cannabis infused beer, that’s so cool!
It’s nice that you pointed out how beer is an alcoholic drink that contains a lot of nutrients. I’ve been craving to drink some alcohol lately and I think beer is the perfect alcoholic drink. So, I’ll try to stop by a night life bar after work tomorrow.
