In Philippine Cheap alcoholic local drink cost about Singapore $1.20 , brand like GSM, Beer in the Philippines is managed by two breweries: San Miguel Corporation, which produces San Miguel Pale Pilsen, the most popular here and around this region. We often hears negative comments like drinking Beer leads to obesity, is bad for your kidneys and causes liver damage.” This refrain rings true. However, it is as true of beer as it is of wines and liquors, when consume excessively of alcohol of any sort is going to make you sick. When you drink, enzymes produced by your liver process the alcohol. Only limited amounts of alcohol can be metabolised at any given time, and the excess remains in the body to wreak havoc on your liver. So what puts a person at risk is not the type of alcohol, but the amount consumed. The ironic of it in spite of all the negative press beer has attracted, it is nonetheless a beverage that contains a substantial amount of nutrition, and can be beneficial when consumed in appropriate quantities. Like my dad use to say anything that is good if consumed in large amount can bring harm to the body. Maybe, brought up in a Chinese traditional environment I was instilled to believed that the body is balanced by ying and yang. So what’s nutritious about beer and what do we mean by “ying and yang or balanced quantities”? If you think of beer as being no better than French fries , nachos and chips, in fact beer is actually made from healthy ingredients such as hops, brewer’s yeast, barley and malt. A historical fact, before clean drinking water became widely available; it was often used as a safer alternative, since the alcohol inside the beer had a sterilising effect. In addition, it was sometimes used such as a substitute for food: once known as “liquid bread”, beer was often an important source of sustenance for European monks (such as those of the Trappist order) during fasting periods.
In summary here’s the lowdown on the nutritional value of beer. A regular can of beer contains approximately 12.6g of carbohydrates; 1.6g of protein; trace quantities of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and other minerals; and vitamins such as B6, choline, folate, riboflavin, niacin and pantothenic acid. However in comparison to your colas and sodas which pump up with sugar content. Many health authorities recommend that men do not drink more than three standard drinks a day. A standard drink of regular beer, between 4 and 5 per cent alcohol by volume, is roughly 220 ml, or approximately two-thirds of a can. As women are more sensitive to alcohol, the recommended amount for them is no more than two standard drinks. What about if a woman is pregnant ?The problem, as so many have pointed out, is that the vast majority of the research data focus on women who drink heavily during pregnancy, or binge drink. It's no surprise that their babies are at high risk for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, nor is it really any surprise that the public health message -- aided by an often hysterical media -- compresses all alcohol use into this baby-damaging paradigm. But is there any science out there that tells us what really happens when a pregnant woman drinks very occasionally? And how do we square the dangers of FAS with the example of all those gorgeous French children whose mothers drank a moderate amount of (excellent) wine while gestating?
The SFGate piece links to three studies, all of which seem to provide some evidence of some effect -- whether on size or behaviour -- of the children of women who drank lightly in pregnancy. Public health folks continue to deliver the message that there is no known safe amount, although most doctors will contradict that with one woman in twelve reporting that she drank at least a little alcohol during pregnancy, the confusion will likely continue, leaving individual mothers to asses their own risk level and responsibility. Hopefully, is not genetic.
Some studies have suggested that people who drink lightly on a regular basis benefit more from the beverage than regular heavy drinkers and irregular heavy (or binge) drinkers. Rather than deriving health benefits, the two latter groups are in fact more likely to suffer from coronary heart disease and hypertension.
So where drinking is concerned, the “more is better” logic does not work. “One drink a day is good” obviously does not translate into “seven drinks all in one day of the week”. Spread your booze throughout the week, and bear the recommended limits in mind.The benefits
Before we wrap up, let’s take a quick look at some benefits which moderate alcohol consumption confers. In addition to lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, moderate drinking has also been linked to improved bone density, lowering of cholesterol levels, and reduction of blood clotting and inflammation. DRINK MODERATELY especially holiday session is around the corner, I always staunch believer if you drink don’t drive, putting other in danger and yourself. that also applicable also if you drink don’t ride a carabao, horse, or cow in Gamu, isabela so far I yet to hear a drunker kill in a carabao(philippine buffalo) crash.
