Don't believe everything you hear.
     

Myth:

Beer is nutritious.

Truth:

This is an absolutely untrue myth. Beer is not nutritious. Beer is a poison that destroys your body. Yes, it has trace amounts of nutrients, but that does not make it nutritious. Carpet has trace amounts of nutrients, but we do not call carpet nutritious. Beer contains some niacin and some protein, but very little. To reach an adult male's niacin needs, a six-pack of beer would have to be drank, and to meed the protein needs, NINE six-packs would be required. There are no nutritional advantages to drinking alcohol, only additional health risks.
