The harmful effects of heavy drinking have been well described; beverages with high alcohol content are not good for human health.<ref name=yangao>Yang D, Gao X. [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0924224421001552 Research progress on the antioxidant biological activity of beer and strategy for applications.] ''Trends Food Sci Technol.'' 2021;110:754-764.</ref> However, the effect of an intermediate amount of drinking is more complex and needs further study. This issue involves the possible probiotic effects associated with non-alcoholic ingredients in beverages such as beer. Some clinical trials have suggested that moderate consumption of beer is good for human health, mainly due to antioxidants, anti-inflammatory effects, and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Increasing anti­ oxidant activities (AOX) of foods and beverages consumed by people is an effective way to improve human health.
