When in doubt, pick the stout: 4 tips for healthier boozing on Super Bowl Sunday

Beer isn’t exactly healthy, especially when it’s slurped in excess. That’s bad news for football enthusiasts, who will chug, on average, a gallon of beer on Super Bowl Sunday, at least according to some sources. Although it’s doubtful that every viewer will suck down more than a six-pack, those who do will be taking in about 1,500 extra calories, not to mention a boatload of carbs and sugars, the compounds that are converted into belly fat. Alas, the dreaded beer belly.

But despite its alcohol content, the beverage of choice for most sports fans isn’t all bad. Beer has a hearty dose of cell-protecting antioxidants and polyphenols, and a post-workout beer has been shown to reduce inflammation and help with recovery. That’s why a “hydrating” brewski is often waiting for marathon runners as they cross the finish line.
