I'm allergic to beer, and it's the strangest thing. If I have one normal beer, the next day my face is flush and my eyes are red. Two and I've got a hangover and a runny nose. I'm not much of a drinker, but other alcohol doesn't affect me like this - a cocktail or two and I'm fine the next day. Bread and wheat doesn't seem to have negative effects, so I have no idea what it could be. Anyone else experience similar th…

The ingredients common to all beer are malted barley, hops, water, and yeast. So maybe hops?

Maybe do a trial with alcoholic yet gluten-free beer.
Another 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…
Have you heard of Bananaweizen before? It’s a hefeweizen beer mixed with a banana. Relatively common in bars in Germany.
"A drink a day makes your brain fog go away" See data from "The largest human cognitive performance dataset reveals insights into the effects of lifestyle factors and aging" https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2013.0029... In particular, the optimal cognitive test results were for ~1 drink a day (0 is worse than 3 drinks!). Also, 7h a sleep a day was the best. With a disclaimer: correlation is not caus…
I sleep 8 to 9h a day and only have a couple drinks a month. 7h of sleep would likely mess with me, and I simply can't believe that a drink a day (alcohol, a poison that fogs the mind!) improves anything. Especially for sleep, every individual seems to have their own optimum that's hard to change.

But how efficiently are alcohol calories metabolizied? (I think not very)
I'm pretty sure ultimately, all alcohol must be metabolized. But people who drink more frequently will metabolize more quickly.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Depends how regularly someone drinks I think. That's when people may develop a metabolic dependence on alcohol, and withdrawal can be deadly. I'm pretty sure ultimately, all alcohol must be metabolized. But people who drink more frequently will metabolize more quickly.
