is it actually true that a single beer is less worse for you than a single soda?

>> No.6386002

That depends on what your diet looks like... Off the top of my head id say a beer probably has the same or fewer calories than soda but without the sugar and the added benefit of making you feel less sad.

A single beer isn't bad for you. It's proven to be GOOD for you. Two isn't even bad for you, but when you pass that mark you pass into the bad-for-you spectrum of it.

Don't think a little beer is good for you? Go read about heart health + 16 oz of beer.

As for the lame ol' "soda". Such shit.

A single soda is bad for you. Two is worse. There is no good spectrum to it. Soda is shit.

I'd choose beer, low alcohol. every time. or even high high alcohol beer. ti's much hard work though. not speaking of dead drunk, just never liked sweet drinks. I guess not much. It would be like me saying "I give up duck feet" for lent. or Rolls Royce's. Neither would mean much, because I have little to do with either.Aside from satus quo,Jesus "stepped" on mucho toes and caused people to reflect. still does. And many believe him to be the living son of God.I and not speak for times past, many dispicable things done.

Let me put it this way: You couldn't pay me enough to drink 10 cokes in a time frame of say 3-5 hours. But I would pay YOU for 10 beers and I'd drink them happily and comfortably within that time frame.

Coke makes me feel terrible. Beer makes me feel great.

I once read that during the great Cartel days, the police in Colombia used ginger ale soda for torture. They laid out the suspect on a board, with his head over the edge and tilted back, and shot a jet of shaken up, high pressure fizzing ginger ale up his nostrils. Apparently it felt like a handgrenade going off inside your head. A prison revolt was once beaten down by letting the prisoners see teh cops carry a couple of crates of ginger ale into the building.
