I find that I feel really wonderful when drinking non-alcholic beer, brands including Henninger, Holsten, Lowenbrau, and others. Some guarantee 0% alcohol content, others less than 0.5%. I am aware of some benefits of alcohol, but believe from my own experience that the non-alcohol beers have health benfits, without the risks of alcohol. Non-drinkers, then, may enjoy at least some of the benfits Roman hypothesizes. . . .
