Yeah, the alcohol kills pathogens, making beer safe to drink even if your water source is bad. And it can be stored for a long time without going bad.

At some point people must have discovered that "hey, if I mix water and grains in a certain way, and wait until it stops bubbling before I drink it, then it makes me feel good AND I don't get diarrhea (or worse)!"

Just cancer, and bowel issues, skin problems, and every organ in my body being damaged, especially my brain! I love how society downplays the effects of alcohol on the body. Most people don't even know the full effects.
