"The American Heart Association released a report in February showing that alcohol can help lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol when consumed in moderation—one drink a day for women and two for men, according to the Center for Disease Control. Beer, in particular, has been shown to lower the risk of kidney stones in men, plus it's packed withantioxidants and fiber. On the other hand, drinking too much too often canimpair sleep, decrease reaction time, and lead to dehydration and weight gain. The key is to find a balance."- Amanda Carlson Phillips
