While we don’t need scientists to tell us that drinking beer is good for your health, they still do.

It cuts your risk of having strokes, heart disease, increases HDL (good cholesterol) and anti-oxidants. It’s also good for your blood - it reduces blood clots, and contains Vintamin B6 needed to make haemoglobin. You can also ease out kidney stones with beer and clean your stomach with the fiber content of malted barley - as much as 60% of daily recommended fiber in one liter. It even detoxes your liver, expanding your liver’s small blood vessels and speeds up metabolism of toxins.

Alternative Uses of Beer

Heck, it even fights cancer - xanthohumol, found in beer hops helps your body break down carcinogens (chemicals that cause cancer)
However, for optimum beer nutrition, drink dark beer which has more flavanoids (natural oxidants that fight disease)

But apart from being accessory to a good a time, beer has a lot of other uses.

Alternative Uses of Beer

Setting Lotion for Hair:

Before hitting the shower, mix 3 tablespoons beer in 1/2 cup warm water. Rub this into your hair after you shampoo and rinse it off to get volume, shine and some awesome waves.

Or, you can soak your hair in beer and then soak some sunrays for all-natural highlights in your hair.
Bubble Bath

Pour in into your tub for a bubble bath that’s good for your skin and hair.
Tenderize Meat

Beer’s slightly acidic pH level lets you enjoy lean meat without ripping and gnawing - it can tenderize the meat.

It’s also better than wine- and vinegar-based marinades in not imparting too much flavor to the meat.
Insomnia

Another slightly obvious use of beer - beer’s Lactoflavin and Nicotinic Acid content promote sleep. Hops too are a natural sedative.
Stomach Ache

Beer’s fizz (carbonation) can sooth an upset stomach, and it’s also a mild sedative when the pain is too much to bear (and you don’t have a painkiller lying around)
