Planet Of Beer

These post looks like very negative. Just Read it. And wait for a small time - i’ll provide you few tips how to drink your favorite beer, like you do it now, and don’t think about your weight. Yea - i’ll get few recipes for you.

It would be great to drink all the beer you want and not have any of the effects. Although getting some of those effects often will be a good reason for drinking it. Drinking a few beers can be very relaxing but also give you a nice little buzz sometimes. However, it may also give you some negative effects like help in making you fat.

Certainly, a couple of drinks during the weekend or for some type of infrequent special occasion most likely won’t affect your overall fat one way or another. Of course, this really is assumes that you do some exercise once in a while. If you are trying to lose weight, these few beers may have some type of impact but not anything major. Still, any choices you make regarding drinking or eating will either help or hurt you every time.

Obviously, having the ability to enjoy life may include having a few drinks with your friends or family once in a while. I certainly cannot hold that against you? You really need to balance your life to get some enjoyment every once in a while.

However, drinking more than a few drinks of beer or alcohol everyday could be a great deterrent from keeping your current weight and/or reducing it. It’s hard to avoid consuming a couple 150 calorie beers every day without it affecting your fat content. Most people who do this don’t have the necessary bodily activity to burn off all these calories daily. Furthermore, these calories don’t have a lot of nutritional content.

Let’s look at just how many calories you could consume by having a couple beers everyday for a whole year. Two beers every day allow you to consume 300 extra calories everyday. This amounts to a total of 2100 every week. Extend this further to get a years amount of almost 110000 calories. This will actually come out to be around 31 pounds of fat gained annually. For most people, this will be rather difficult to lose.

Beer and alcohol helps prevent the burning of fat (using fat for the body’s energy). When person consuming it metabolizes the alcohol, the process assists in preventing him or her from appropriately metabolizing fat.

Think of the calories inside beer as no more than empty calories that actually take the room of calories you should have in their place. Although there might be some nutritional value inside, it is minimal. It will be much better to have some good food value calories that help your body instead of hurt.

Whether you are attempting to lose weight or not, drinking too much beer or alcohol will be self-defeating. It might be okay to drink a few during the weekend. A few means maybe one or two but not much more than that. Remember that whenever you’re taking in drinks or food, except for water, you’ll be ingesting calories. They don’t have to be fat calories to become fat in your body.

If you look at almost anyone that drinks a lot of beer everyday, you’ll see that on average many of them gain a lot of their fat in their stomach. Most experts see this generating fat around the mid-section as very problematic for overall health. They say it is a symptom of possible future heart disease.

So the next time you think about having more than one or two beers during the week, you might want to think differently. Instead of developing a craving for drinking down a beer, you might want to start trying something a little more healthy like eating fruit or vegetables. It might sound funny to tell someone that normally likes to drink beer to instead eat something like an apple, but if you really try, you’re bound to find some nutritionally sound food that will satisfy you.

Many of the studies that document the beneficial effects of alcohol have highlighted the virtues of red wine. Only recently has beer come to the foreground as a health-giving beverage. The published research papers cited below provide ample evidence that beer, when consumed moderately, may be even more salutary than wine.

Healthy Effects of Alcohol

The overall picture that has emerged is that consumption of alcohol in moderation is good for the cardiovascular system. Its consumption is associated with elevated levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Many drinkers have also been found to have less fibrinogen, a protein thought to be a culprit in the occurrence of strokes and thromboses. Alcohol has also been known to lower insulin levels, which in turn lessens the risk of atherosclerosis, a condition in which the arteries harden.

Several experiments, such as one conducted at the Institute of Epidemiology at the University of Münster in Germany, suggest that beer may lessen the risk of coronary disease. But a number of other studies demonstrate that the benefits of beer go beyond those attributed to the alcohol it contains.

Research from the TNO Nutrition and Food Research Institute in the Netherlands showed that levels of vitamin B6 in beer drinkers increased thirty percent while those who regularly consumed gin and red wine gained by only half that rate.

Study findings published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition’s July 2001 issue suggest that the presence of folate, the anion form of vitamin B9, is responsible for some of beer’s healthful effects. Folates have been known to fight cardiovascular disease.

One study conducted at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and published in a 2001 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that beer consumed in moderation aided in the preservation of mental capacities in older women.

A study from Tufts University in Massachusetts shows that drinking beer, be it light or dark, helps to maintain the mineral density of the bones. The leg bones among elderly people are prone to thinning.

Risks Associated With Beer

What about the health risks associated with beer consumption?

There is enough evidence from research about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome to warrant prohibiting women from drinking alcohol. A baby may suffer from brain disorders if the alcohol consumed by the mother passes through the umbilical cord and through the milk in her breasts.

Gaining weight can be a concern for beer drinkers. While beer contains no fat, one glass will have 150 to 450 calories, depending on the kind of brew. Counted in terms of volume, this amount is lower than the calories found in apple juice or red wine in a glass of similar size.

Other known adverse effects of excessive beer drinking include liver damage and stress on the kidneys. Amount of intake is, of course, a key factor in whether beer becomes a healthy or unhealthy drink.

Immediate Effects

Coffee is an example of a beverage that contains a less-than-desirable substance (caffeine) yet immediately provides benefits when taken in the right amount. The alertness that caffeine causes can be advantageous at work and when driving.

Drinking beer in excess does result in lowered mental acuity in the immediate aftermath, making automobile driving a high-risk undertaking. But when intake is moderate, beer becomes a relaxing drink that provides relief from stress, a known causative element in many diseases. It helps to remember that the drawbacks of intemperate drinking outweigh the advantages of controlled alcoholic beverage consumption.

The alcohol in beer provides modest B vitamins amounts, plus more useful quantities of magnesium, selenium and other trace elements. Beer is mostly water, which along with the alcohol, helps to cleanse the kidneys. Alcohol and the brewing process also help destroy bacteria in the water.

Needless to say, no single study or report on the health effects of beer can be considered definitive. But most suggest, that when taken in amounts exceeding no more than two 12-ounce glasses a day, beer will almost always be a great benefit, rather than a risk, to one’s health.

Beirut also commonly known as ‘Beer Pong‘ is the most popular drinking game among college students today. Roughly twenty years ago the game emerged into society and caught on like wild fire. Beirut evolved as a “paddle-less” version of Beer Pong, a similar game that used paddles to propel the ping pong instead of throwing the ping pong by hand. According to Wikipedia there are two stories of where Beirut originated from. The first story explains that the game was popularized in 1983 after a student from Lehigh University observed a game at Bucknell University. The other story goes on to say that the game was developed in 1986. This is when a fraternity at Lehigh University created the game after all ping pong paddles were broken for regular Beer Pong. True Beirut .com supports the first story due to extent research in this area and finding many “old timers” who have claimed to play the game before 1986.

Anyhow, the reason the game is called Beirut instead of ‘Beer Pong‘ is because of an interesting history fact. Since the name Beer Pong had already been assigned to the game with paddles, a name for the game without paddles was in need. What ended up coming to these student’s mind oddly enough is the 70’s. To be exact they saw throwing the ping pong balls into the opposite cups symbolizing the “bombings” from East Beirut to West Beirut while they were at war in the 70’s (In Lebanon)

The game of Beirut spread very fast across the nation picking up a bunch of different variations of the game as it went. Although the game is called Beirut, it is often referred to as Beer Pong in many areas. It has been agreed among most people that calling the game Beirut or Beer Pong is acceptable and can be used interchangeably when referring to the game. Tendencies show that more people from the north refer to it as Beirut and more people from the south refer to it either as Beirut or Beer Pong. Simply it is argued that ‘Beer Pong‘ is easier to remember and makes more sense to the novice player. But most serious players call it ‘Beirut‘.

I personally believe the game started in the 70’s but did not get popular until the 80’s and has been spreading ever since. There is now not 1 university or college in the US that does not have a few hardcore Beirut players.

Do you always end up playing beer drinking games when you are with your friends? If the answer is yes, you probably end up playing the same beer games every time. If you want to spice up your Friday and Saturday nights a bit more, you can introduce a new game to your friends. Remember that if you want to play drinking games, you should make sure to offer your guests non-alcoholic beverages, such as water or coffee, and some snacks to help soak up the alcohol. Being a good friend means that you respect your friends, so if someone wants to quit, let them. Otherwise, have a good time, and enjoy playing this game during your next night out with the boys, a co-ed party, or a bachelor party.
There are tons of different beer games to play, but what you really need is a game that will get everyone excited and laughing. The name of the game is Flash. It is best played with at least four or five players, but the more players that you have the more fun (and difficult) it becomes.
Everyone sits in a circle so that each person can see every other person. Make sure to keep a bit of room in between each player for people to join in at any time, and to give yourself a bit of space to flash your sign.
Each person chooses a hand gesture or funny face that will represent him or her. It doesn’t matter what the face or gesture is, as long as it is short. Your hand gesture or face can be flirty, rude, exotic, or anything else, but make sure that you choose one that you can easily remember.
Go around the circle one time and have each person perform his or her hand motion or funny face. Make sure that you can remember as many of your friend’s gestures or faces as possible, because it is going to help you in the game.
To get the game going, you need to get a steady rhythm or beat going. You can easily do this by having everyone tap their feet two times and then clap their hands once.
One person starts by performing his hand motion or face, followed immediately by someone else in the group’s gesture. Keeping in time with the rhythm, this person must then perform someone their hand motion followed by someone else’s gesture.
When a player breaks the rhythm, either because they weren’t paying attention and didn’t see their gesture or face, or they can’t come up with someone’s hand gesture, they have to drink. The amount that each player drinks when they lose should be determined before the game starts. You can all drink the same amount of beer, or you give people special handicaps based on their drinking abilities.
After the penalty period, play begins again the same way as before, with the person who just had to drink starting up the action. If you think the game is too easy, you can speed up the tempo a bit to make things go a bit faster!
Flash is a great game, because it gets everyone loosened up a bit and also gets people moving a bit. If you want to get your next party or gathering going, you can try to play this beer drinking game. The game is also good for getting people talking and interacting with each other; for example, if you are playing with a cute girl, you can guarantee that her eyes will be on you when it is your turn to flash.
