Beer is better than Milk
There is more protein in beer than in milk. What's more, beer has fewer calories than apple juice, milk or cola and contains neither fat nor cholesterol. These claims have been made by the All India Brewer's Association.
The apex body representing 42 beer manufacturers, has urged the food processing ministry to delink beer from the status of liquor and whisky, so that it can be advertised and marketed like any other product. They have argued that liquor has an alcoholic content of 42.8% while beer has only up to 7%.
Beer is battling to get the status of milk. The all India Brewer's Association (AIBA) have argued in a memorandum to the government that a glass of beer contains more protein than does the same quantity of milk.
Not just that. They have said that the calorie content in beer is lesser than that of a bottle of apple juice, milk or any cola. So do not club beer with hard liquor in computing tax, argues the industry.
"It has been given the status of a fast moving consumer good (FMCG) that can be traded over the counter at any departmental store", says the Vice-President and President of Shaw Wallace. "Beer distribution has to be made open as in Singapore."
The industry's representation for removing beer restrictions are straight and simple: Beer is only an agri-food. Arguing that it has neither fat nor cholesterol, the beer manufacturers' body has told the government that an average bottle of beer gives four vital minerals and five important constituents of vitamin B and proteins. Raw material for beer is malt, the same as for health drinks Maltova and Horlicks.
I like beer and wine too much. Stock piles are need it in Doha.

Try doing this with milk - you'd be sick!

I, like so many Americans, have tried many different ways to lose weight. I have never been obese, but I had been trying to lose 20-30 pounds for quite some time. I have tried diet pills, but I got hooked. I have tried the protein diet, but I learned that you can't drink beer, so I quit that one pretty quick. I was almost to the point where I was going to start exercising, but an intervention of some of my closest friends saved me from that dreadful fate.
So one night, while doing my obligatory research in the BIGFY laboratory, I looked up and realized that it was 10:00 PM and I had forgotten to have dinner. I chose to forego dinner, and have more liquid nutrition. Unbelievably, I had just stumbled onto a discovery that would ultimately lead me to create my own weight loss regime: The Beer Diet.
I began eating breakfast (which I had never done before on a consistent basis), usually just a breakfast burrito or an omelet will suffice. I continued to eat my normal crap for lunch, such as a cheeseburger and fries. Then, in the evening, I would simply enjoy my brew and skip dinner. Pretty soon, the pounds began to fall off like the digits of a leper. After six months of this "diet", I actually went from a pudgy 185 lbs to a lean 155 lbs. Ironically enough, I also lost my beer belly!
Maybe the most important difference between the Beer Diet and other diets, is that those other diets have a not-so-pleasant side effect called sobriety. When my friends and co-workers began to notice my new slender physique, they asked how I did it. To a man, they were all incredulous to learn that the key to my weight loss was beer. Most still do not believe me to this day, but I swear to God it is true.
The diet works because the majority of all the fat-producing caloric intake is ingested in the early part of the day; say, before 3PM. Food that is consumed after that time would normally turn into fat while you sleep and relax in the evening. I don't have any scientific proof of this, but it makes sense to me, and it's the best explanation I can think of.
I began to research the reasons for the diet's success and found that beer is, among other things 93% water, contains no sugars or fat and only low levels of additives. In fact, according to Dr. David Williams (a professor of chemistry at the University of Wales), beer is the complete food because it contains carbohydrates, protein and vitamins. It also contains liberal amounts of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. Add to this the vitamins folic acid, Niacin, pantothenic acid (B3), riboflavin (B2) and pyridoxine (B6), and you have the perfect dietary supplement. And it is available in convenient 6,12, and 24 packs. I actually prefer the industrial strength and economically prudent keg. You don't even need a prescription!
It has been almost a year since I began this diet, and the weight has stayed off. I do allow myself one or two dinners per week, and I am still able to maintain my slender look. While the Beer Diet does not act as quickly as some other, more drastic diets (it took about 4 months to lose 30 pounds), it is much easier to stick to. You are eating the normal foods you always have (i.e. junk food for most of the readers of this web site), and you get to drink as much beer as you'd like.
One word of caution: If you attempt to lose weight using the technique I've described above, you must do it from home. Do not attempt to use beer as a dietary supplement at your local watering hole. For some people this may be difficult as I certainly understand the importance of getting away from your spouse, or parents, or housemates whenever possible. But I suggest converting your garage into a sanctuary/bar/weight loss center and smoke lots of cigars to ensure privacy. People will leave you alone, and you'll be able to lose weight in peace. Never, under any circumstances attempt to "diet" at a neighborhood pub, as your local law enforcement probably doesn't want your operating heavy machinery after a busy night of "dieting".

The superstition in which we were brought up never loses its power over us, even after we understand it.
To me, this new discovery reflects the advance of that country-thats a good one! but i wonder, why compare beer with milk, juice,or cola? of course when we compare sth better with sth that is less better, what actually worst in the first place, will appear to be 'good' in the end! instead, why not compare it with pure mineral water?
another thing which make me wonder, eventhough milk doesnt reach to that level of 'goodness', but it doesnt always give any side-effect. how about those beer, whisky, liquor.......?? why reveal only the good side and hide the other side? you know guys, this is the one of the techniques in advertisement, its called 'supress evidence'- they compare sth with sth else that is less better, in order to highlight the good and hide the defects of their peroducts.
