what would be better for you, a pint of coke a day, or a pint of beer a day?

Question

Which one would effect your health the least?

Answer 1

I'd say the beer would be better for you as it's not loaded with high fructose corn syrup. But really, water would be better for you.

Answer 2

A pint of beer would be better for you provided you took no more. A pint of coke a day means too much sugar.

Answer 3

Provided you only drink a pint, the beer is actually far better for you. Coke is full of artificial chemicals and it's very acidic. Beer is a bit more natural, and even has a bit of protein.

Answer 4

A pint of beer is WAY better, a good source of many vitamins and minerals not to mention the beneficial property of organics matter that were decomposed to distill beer.

Answer 5

beer...coke has way too much sugar and caffine
as long as the pint of beer is the only alcohol you drink in a day then it wont be that bad for you

Answer 6

Beer
A study, from Australia, investigated the drinking habits of 3,000 people in their seventies over the previous ten years and found that those who drank one or two beers a day had a 20 per cent lower risk of dying of heart disease than those who were teetotal or drank to excess.

What is more, the advantages of moderate beer drinking are not confined to the heart. Danish research has revealed that beer drinkers suffer less frequently from kidney stones, and it is now becoming accepted that drinking beer in moderation reduces the incidence of diabetes and osteoporosis, although drinking to excess may increase the risk of both.

Answer 7

A pint of beer a day would be good.

Answer 8

Beer would be better. good tannins for the heart. That's why although the french smoke a lot as a nation they also have very low heart disease rates.
I like coke but it is just about the worst thing for your guts and teeth.

Answer 9

Off the top of my head, beer I reckon. And I'm talking about REAL ALE, not weak, tasteless, modified lager.
Beer contains a low alcohol content, is lightly carbonated, has many nutrients, natural ingredients and a lot of water, plus it's usually fresh. Coke is composed of a large amount of carbon dioxide (and hence less water), heaps of sugar, caffeine, additives, and also has an ingredient called phosphoric acid in it.

It is "non toxic" when dilute, but I ask you, do you know anyone who cleans their engines with beer? =oD

Answer 10

beer, even though I dont drink it...coke is bad for your health, not to mention your teeth
