Craft Beer vs Water.

Why do people feel that they need to consume three gallons of water a day? It's actually a bit of a pet peeve of mine. I watch as people sit in a shady park, little to no movement occurring as they pull out a giant water bottle and start squirting away, completely oblivious to how overhydrated they are becoming. No, I don't believe that "overhydrated" is a word, but hyponatremia is, and their severe lack of sodium is not only dangerous but annoying to observers. So, I say with no shame... water is overrated! In fact, you could make the argument that beer is by far more beneficial than water. Don't believe me? Check this out:

Reasons that Craft Beer is Better Than Water:

Beer Contains Water: That is right folks, the average beer is made up of over 90% water. On the other hand, water contains no beer. Which one sounds like the better deal? 

Beer Has Many Health Benefits, Yet Water Is Dangerous: Medical professionals claim that drinking beer in moderation (1-2 per day) reduces the chances of stroke, as well as heart and vascular disease. Now, compare that to the fact that statistically 2 people per minute DROWN in water and I think we can come to the conclusion that beer is the safer choice. 

Beer is Made By Artisans, The Source of Water Remains a Mystery: When you invest in a good, quality craft beer, you are investing in a product that was crafted with care and quality ingredients. Yet, scientists are boggled by the phenomenon of H20 falling from the sky. 

Beer Makes You Smarter: It is a historical fact that Plato, Hemingway, Churchill, Einstein and Franklin all commonly spoke of drinking beer, yet... there is no evidence to imply that they ever consumed a single drop of water.
