Nothing is more refreshing than a cold bottle of beer on any lazy afternoon. This brew is for those who have acquired its taste. The drink also has the reputation of bolstering courage or bringing out the worst dance moves when consumed in large quantities. Nevertheless, beer is considered to be a crowd pleaser at any given occasion or for those who want to simply relax alone at home.

When consumed moderately, some studies show that beer has nutritious properties that are good for the health. According to Life Hack, beer is high in fiber, good for the bones and muscles, reduces the risk of heart disease, and rich in B vitamins. Aside from these benefits, did you know that beer can be used aesthetically as well?
