The tiny amount in one glass isn't even noticed by the body and surely doesn't make up for all the bad that alcohol contains.

And beer is just liquid bread, which is not healthy even in its regular form. Most people would benefit by cutting bread completely out of their diets.

But like I said...everything is fine in moderation...when it comes to alcohol, the less the better.
