I know that a glass of red wine a day is a great source of antioxidants and is generally accepted as a healthy practice, but what about beer? any known studies from the medical community about drinking one beer per day? any benefits?

there are studies that either a small beer not the quart size or a glass of red wine will help you live longer. But not over that. More than that is not good for you.

one beer a day does not have the antioxidant properties of wine, but it does help clean the arteries of blockages and clots, as does any alcohol. but you are better off having a glass of red wine, which will do both.

Yes.
"An Oregon State University study found that the hops in beer contain substances called prenylated flavonoids, a potent form of antioxidant that has been shown to help prevent high cholesterol, heart disease, cancer, and-oh, yeah-Alzheimer's disease."

my doctor said it was good for you. my last appointment she asked how much i drank and i told her. her response was that a beer or two was just as good as wine and that i needed to cut back. she also said i could not save up beer for the weekend and drink a lot in one or two days.

It's not beneficial to ones health, it's just o.k. to have one beer a day (and you are not supposed to save all 7 for a Saturday night!)
