#2Another interesting thing I learned was beer cocktails. For example in the mid-west there is a cocktail called Red Beer, which is beer mixed with tomato juice. I understand that it is basically a bloody mary made with beer instead of vodka. I read that many people drink it as a breakfast meal before work.
When you mix small amounts of alcohol in a high ball glass with other ingredients, it becomes even more healthier. You get the slight relaxation plus nutriants and taste.

I couldn't find any controlled studies offhand.

Have you heard of Bananaweizen before?
It’s a hefeweizen beer mixed with a banana. Relatively common in bars in Germany.

Bananaweizen blew my mind because it was the first time I learned banana juice existed. There are other wheat beer mixes, and there is the whole 'radler' thing too

#6Sadly I don't do well with carbs, even beer. One a day brings back depression after about a week. But I like the taste :)
Can't just drink half of it and leave the rest for tomorrow though.

It’s very popular in Texas. In the East (towards Houston) it’s called a Michelada. Towards the west, I’ve heard it called red beer.
It is delightful, and consists of about 50% beer and 50% secret mix (often Clamato, literally: clam and tomato mix). Or, tilt the proportions in either direction as you favor.

My favorite beer - Live Oak Hefeweizen - has natural banana notes in it. It seems that’s common for Hefes, anyway.
I’d be curious as to how the bananaweizen tastes and whether it ruins the beer - like a Radler in Britain or Blue Moon which kinda tastes a bit artificial.
I posted in another comment about micheladas, but I think why I make a distinction about that not ruining the beer is due to the complexity of the flavor.

#9> The modest levels of alcohol in beer improve blood circulation, reducing the risk of heart disease for light drinkers compared with that for heavy drinkers and abstainers.
I'm not sure this still stands up to scrutiny in the current year; iirc when controlling for external factors, any alcohol intake is worse than no alcohol intake.
Either way, yeah, this resonates with me. I drink one beer every afternoon while cooking dinner for my family. It doesn't feel unhealthy, i love the taste, and the ritual of it has a definite de-stressing quality.
Furthermore I'm not a binge or big drinker at all. More than 2 drinks and I feel bad the next day. I hope the health impact in my case is limited.

I live in Germany, beer is embedded in culture. I can’t drink one single beer, it doesn’t do anything for me. It’s two or none and afterwards you can do whatever you want. On the other hand, most bottles are 0,33 litres so a 0,5 litre would probably make the cut.
