"According to a new study published in Oxford's Alcohol and Alcoholism journal, scientists discovered that hoppy beer is significantly less harmful to the liver than liquor and even beer without hops. After wining and dining mice for 12 hours, the researchers found that the subjects who had the hoppy beer had much less fat on their livers than those who'd consumed ethanol and hop-less beer."

"What's more, Munchies reports, both the ethanol and the hop-less beer led to the same amount of fat in the mice's livers, which means it was the hops that helped prevent the organ damage. "Our data suggest that hops in beer markedly attenuated acute alcohol-induced liver steatosis [fatty liver]," the authors wrote."

Ive stopeed drinking every alcohol drink there is except some red wine every now and then for the sake of a healthier lifestyle. But if this study is true then I'll have a few IPAs.

I'm drinking less and eating better (mostly) anyway, but that's nice if further study bears this out or if it already has.

Trying to look if there has been any follow up studies, but all articles I come across the subject reference the same study. But from what Im gathering is that its one the less bad alcohols for you.

Fuck it I miss beer. Nothing wrong with having one or two every now and then.

I get a few every other week or so. It feels more special and exciting this way.

Too bad I don't really like hoppy beers.

hops is a preservative, so yeah
