Hello OMY1
It's not an easy decision, especially when you attach many beautiful feelings towards beer consumption.
Further research must be undertaken, although this shocked me too. be honest. I'm not a drinker of alcohol and don't make it a habit to touch the stuff. But as you said, you have to weigh up the pros and cons of any situation and how it impacts your life — both negatively and positively. As long as you are informed of both sides, you are then free to make your own decisions.
Life is far too short, and I think you should have more of a balanced life regarding food and drink.
