Yes,it is prooved that beer is more healthy than wine
(CBS) According to a new study, moderate consumption of beer has more health benefits than red wine.
University of Texas Southwestern Dr. Norman Kaplan explained to The Early Show what the findings mean.
Kaplan says beer in moderation can deliver protection against heart attacks, stroke, hypertension, diabetes and dementia. Red wine gets all the glory because people who drink wine also tend to have healthier lifestyles in general. All forms of alcohol have benefits in moderation, but beer data has been submerged because beer drinkers tend to have unhealthy habits like binge drinking and smoking as well.
Early in the 19th century, doctors made the link between modest drinking and a lower risk of heart disease. By the '90s the United States government allowed red wine labels to state that two glasses a day could help protect against this killer illness.
Red wine producers were extremely happy with this but the other alcoholic beverage producers in the industry complained, as there was other evidence to suggest it was the modest but regular drinking of any alcohol that did you good. The truth is somewhere between.
Two alcoholic drinks a day produce medical benefits but different forms of alcohol have specific advantages. The overall evidence is that moderate social drinkers live longer and are generally healthier than abstainers. Moderation means one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men. One drink is equivalent to twelve ounces of beer.
Kaplan studied alcohol consumption's effects on health for decades as part of his research into hypertension. There are more than 30 studies that document the benefits of moderate alcohol consumption when it comes to reducing the risk of heart disease.

The answer isn't that simple. Not sure where to start here. From the beer side, it depends on the beer, as half a liter of pilsner is probably ok- a bit much of it truly is 365 days a year, but not terrible. If it's a strong beer (7+% ABV) that's not good. More important, though, is WHY does he drink it? Germans, especially in Bavaria, can easily have a half liter a day and it's just normal social drinking (again with lower ABV beers 4.3-5.2%). If he's sitting in a basement playing videogames while drinking, then that seems to suggest something else. Use your judgement, and if you're worried try to help him- how I can't say.

Well it depends on your brother. How old is he? If he's 5 I'd say yes, it bad. If he's 15 its still bad but less dangerous, if he's 25 then he's just, well, in his 20's, if he's 35 then be glad its only 500ml, if he's 45-65 be AMAZED its only 500ml, and if he's 75 he's old enough to do whatever the heck he wants anyway

That's less than 2 cans. So yes. This small ration will in fact decrease his risk of cardiovascular problems without increasing the risk of other problems.

If everyone would do that every day, the heart attack rate would be reduced, but drug companies would prefer if you took their drugs instead.
