A press release issued yesterday by organizers of the Great British Beer Festival says that drinking beer in moderation can help you lose weight, but only as a replacement to wine and other alcoholic drinks.What constitutes the most calories in alcoholic drinks is the alcohol itself, and beer has the lowest alcohol...
"The major source of calories in any alcoholic drink is the alcohol itself, and because beer is the drinks category with the lowest average alcohol content it is also lowest in calories. Beer also contains no fat or cholesterol and very few free sugars."
Wine, which long has held a reputation that it's healthy to drink, actually contains far more sugars than beer, and far more alcohol.
