Those with a moderate affinity to beer exhibited much fewer signs of Type 2 diabetes. The main point here was a moderated and regular intake of beer, which always helps.

5. Beer commands taste. This beverage has a unique feature: it is an impeccable taste diluter, which means it goes really well with lots of dishes. Be it vegetables, baked goods or meat dishes, beer holds a secret by which, instead of taking away from the taste [of the food], it enhances and enriches it with more taste. Meaning beer will help you fall in love with food.

6. And, lastly, beer is the medicine for self-confidence. A study was conducted in Great Britain where people were asked to make speeches, after which they had to evaluate their own performance and appearance. Here too, regular beer aficionados confessed to having been more self-confident.
