It's probably because liver can handle vodka better than beer. Vodka is pure - alcohol+h2o and beer is made out of grain (wheat, rice etc.), but the ratio of alcohol/water in these drinks may also have an effect - that should mean that beer is probably healthyer.

Vodka has fewer calories and many fewer carbs.

Vodka can be healthier in terms of calories, but, that's just with a straight, standard shot. If you mix it with anything other than diet soda or seltzer water, your calories are going to shoot way up. So straight vodka would be a better choice, but if you only like mixed drinks, a light beer or a glass or wine would be "healthier" even though everyone's right, alcohol isn't exactly "healthy".

No alcohol is healthier than others. Booze is booze. If there was something better it would be beer because it isnt as concentrated. Vodka is all sugar anyways. People think that beer has more calories but it doesnt.

Well...if you want to look at it calorie wise, vodka is healthier. Depending on what you mix it with, of course. If you have a vodka with diet cranberry juice (or soda) you are only consuming around 55 calories versus the min. 120 calories in one light beer.

Okay, repeate after me:
Ethanol is ethanol. The delivery system is irrelevant. Ethanol, or ethyl alcohol is what gets you drunk. Vodka, beer, bourbon, wine, scotch, rum, gin, etc., etc.
Nothing is healtier for you than anything else for getting drunk. It's getting drunk that's not healty.

I'm sure Vodka is better for you. Beer has so many carbs in it anyways.

Mix it with cranberry. That way you will avoid the bladder infection you will get after you get drunk and horny.
Whats that? Your not a chick? Then drink beer Mary Poppins.

I don't think it's healthier...
I think that clear spirits are purer and therefore give less of a hangover than beers or alcopops...
The liver can't really handle alcohol, it's not good for it at all!
But hey, that never stopped anyone! ;-)
