Does beer have any nutritional value?

Answer 1

it has a lot of carbs

Answer 2

It has INFINITE nutritional value. It works like this:

You enter a bar, looking forward to tying one on big time. There's a girl there making eyes at you, but you wouldn't touch her with a ten-foot pole. Meanwhile, every sip of beer you take (along with its carbs) takes you ever closer to the Beer Event Horizon, that moment when the night changes shape. The beer goggles come out and you suddenly see her in a whole new light.

The inevitable occurs, and you wake up alongside your new beau. She cooks you breakfast. YOUR FIRST DIVIDEND IN THE INFINITE PAYOUT OF BEER NUTRITION! The longer the beer goggles stay on, the more she'll cook for you and the better the nutritional value of those beers becomes.

One day you'll dump one another and the free ride will be over, but it was fun while it lasted.

Answer 3

Well depends on what your definition of nutritional value is. Technically speaking, anything that has calories and therfore be turned into energy has nutritional value. A rock has no nutritional value, and neither do many vegetables believe it or not. Anything you eat that has 0 calories is said to have no nutritional value. Beer has many. Many people tend to think that "nutritional value" has something to do with the vitamins & minerals present but this is not the case.

Answer 4

Calories and Carbs-So technically if you were stranded on an island with just a tanker of water and a tanker of beer, you would neither die of thirst nor of starvation. But the only problem is you would be too drunk to find a way off the island.

Sooner or later you would get sick from Protein and Vitamin deficiencies too, but the whole thing about the island wasn't your question was it? Just using it to help explain.

Answer 6

I've heard that the yeast in beer contains chromium picolinate, which helps your body metabolize carbs. A true craving for beer that's satisfied by one or two drinks could be a craving for this or some other trace elements.

Answer 7

No , but it has a lot of carbs which is something to be avoided if you wanted to have a healthy diet . Red wine is better because it is good
for the heart ( take note in moderation) . But i am not saying to avoid
beer but drink it in special occassions only and with moderation :)
