Drinking Beer is Actually Good For Your Health?

I plan on taking full advantage of this knowledge during the holidays!

Think drinking too much is hazardous to your health? Think again! There's actually a new scientific benefit to drinking beer that suggests "moderate beer consumption may help you maintain your levels of good HDL cholesterol."

After a study, data presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions revealed that "moderate drinkers (those who reported having one to two alcohol servings a day) experienced the slowest decline, leading to a lower risk for heart disease."

People who identified as moderate beer drinkers saw an even slower HDL decline than liquor drinkers. However, the study was funded by the German brewing industry, and the results may not correlate to humans. In fact, this one was done with mice... so there's that.
