There's no shortage of health & dietary advice out there such as "Alcohol is poison" "Eat your veg" "Drink X amount of water a day" but has a few beers when combined with a healthy diet ever hurt anyone? There's an argument to be heard that some beers & stouts are actually good for your gut! Whereas some fruit & veg is high in insoluble fibre and can be harsh on your guts. Water is poison if you force drink it at a radio station contest to win a Nintendo Wii (Jennifer Strange)

Maybe it's just a case of finding what works for you? Alcohol probably is poison if you're sat in a city centre shop doorway at 10am with your hand shaking as you take another gulp of your Tennent's Super or White Lightning but there'll be loads of old folks who swear by a drop of whiskey or brandy in your tea when you've got a cold followed by a hot bath and bed to sweat it out, or the old folks who've had a bottle of stout every night. I've got relatives who've drank 8 cans of Speckled Hen every weekend for as long as I can remember who never go to the doctors or have health problems, they're also pro lard in the frying pan 🍳
