According to experts, if beer is consumed in large quantities, it can have a negative effect on the body. It contains alcohol which can damage the liver, increase obesity and can also have a bad effect on mental health. In such a situation, it is better for health if you do not consume beer.

how beer is made,
The process of beer is called “brewing”. Its four main components are water, malted barley, hops and yeast. First, barley grains are soaked in water and germinated. Then they are dried and converted into malt. After that, the malt is ground and mixed with hot water, which removes the sugar present in the grains. Then this mixture is boiled and hops are added to it, which gives beer its bitterness and aroma. After this, the mixture is cooled and yeast is added, which produces alcohol. Yeast converts the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

The beer is left for a few days or weeks to improve its taste. Finally the beer is filled into bottles or cans and sent to the market.
