Beer is a thirst quencher

- In some countries low alcohol beers are consumed as 'isotonic sports drinks' due to their readily available source of calories which provides a brief 'lift'.
Beer is a social drink
- Drinking acts as a form of relaxation and is often a useful way to unwind and reduce stress.
- Beer is also useful in a social context reducing inhibitions and promoting friendship. Some of life's finest relationships have been formed on the courage given from a few beverages.
Beer is safe to drink
- The brewing process kills off many bacteria present in other common beverages. Many bacteria are also unable to survive the acidic environment caused by the fermentation process.
- Any bacteria left are harmless, and only help contribute to the appearance and flavour of the beer.
