[MALT] "targeting high alcohol content and economy rather than quality" I'll let you judge that one for yourself. As for types of liquor, assuming you're going to consume a certain amount of alcohol and not just volume of liquid the one with the highest proof.

Guinness - great source of iron.

Not sure about that retarded shit. Red is suppose to prevent heart disease according to BBC health (might have just wanted to boost sales).

Scotch and Irish Whiskey : made from barley

If alcoholic moderate consumption of red wine.

Scotch is a type of whiskey. Dont feel bad, that person is obviously also a teenager, look at the angst dripping off of their post.

[Anonymous No.3500748]

>>3499798
wrong.
It was proven that wine is beneficial but the benevolent nutrients come from the grapes and not the alcohol. That's why grape juice is as good as wine, better in fact.

>Scotch is a type of whiskey.

That's true, but with scotch it is specifically spelled "whisky," and in America at least usually just referred to as scotch. "Whiskey" generally refers to Irish whiskey or bourbon.

[Anonymous No.3500793]

It's all poison. Red wine in small quantities has mild benefits.

Truth is you'd be better off never touching it.

And this is coming from someone who binge drinks at least once every week.

Just drink water

[Anonymous No.3500802]

Gin, Vodka, etc are in one sense better for you in that you get less of a hangover. It's not really better for you, just easier to metabolise.

Whiskey here in Bourbonland is from Ireland,Canada, or Tennessee coal water.
We refer to Bourbon as Bourbon.

Rum, if you drink it while dressed up as a pirate, you help decrease the effects of global warming.

May you be touched by his noodly appendage.

[Anonymous No.3500818]

>>3500793
I disagree. I think in small doses, alcohol may have a beneficial effect on the body, cleansing or some other effect. I very rarely drink and am not justifying drinking.

[Anonymous No.3500843]

>>3500818
Your scientific backing?

>>3500793
see above grape juice has the same effect. The beneficial effects of wine cannot be attributed to the alcohol.

Largely true, but there are some small benefits, still alcohol cause a lot more problems, then benefits.
