Wow. Beer is good for you:

If you downed one too many while watching the Super Bowl, here’s at least one reason to hold your head high: Drinking beer can be good for your health.

But seriously, a new analysis of 100 commercial beers shows the hoppy beverage is a significant source of dietary silicon, a key ingredient for bone health.

I’m a big fan of Harpoon IPA so it was good news to hear that I’m getting my daily dose of bone-strengthening nutrients.

Of course they had to throw a wet blanket onto the whole thing:

However, other studies show that consuming more than one or two alcoholic beverages a day may be, overall, bad for health.

Yeah but if someone trips and falls due to being drunk, they stand a decreased chance of breaking a bone with all that silicon.
