There have been a lot of stories lately about the benefits of alcohol, usually wine. But the good news is that many of those great benefits can also be had by drinking the occasional beer. That little bottle of goodness can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, raise your good cholesterol, and reduce your risk of developing high blood pressure. There are even benefits for the elderly -- with research showing that beer can have positive effects on blood flow, sleep, and urination.

For real? The Beer Drinker's Diet

As a lover of beer and also as someone who knows a fair bit about calorie counts and nutrition, I thought a diet that involved beer was too good to be true. Maybe not -- one man, Bradley Scott Cailor, has written a book called The Beer Drinkers Diet. But if you read a bit into it, the title of the book is not trying to tell you that you can guzzle Budweiser without abandon -- rather, the title attempts to reflect that this is a normal person's diet, one that doesn't involve any major deprivation. So correct me if I'm wrong but the word BEER in the title is more of a gimmick to attract attention to the book.
