Top 10 Unusual Uses of Beer

Bangalore: Beer is the world’s third most popular drink after water and tea. Some believe that it is the oldest fermented beverage. Apart from its most obvious use, here is a list of 10 unusual uses of beer:

1. Soak in it

We all know that a good long bath is an excellent stress buster. So, the next time you think of taking a long bath to soothe your nerves, you might want to consider tipping a can of dark beer into the bathwater. As surprising as it might seem, beer is a great skin conditioner! So, instead of investing on expensive salt crystals, you can just buy a can of beer and use it as an equally good alternative. If, however, you want a super luxurious bath, you can combine both!

2. Soothe an upset tummy

As incredible as it may sound, beer actually helps soothe an upset tummy! The alcohol in the beer has an anesthetic effect which helps reduce the pain. Slowly sip on a can of beer and wait for this amazing drink to work its magic. But just make sure you don’t try this if you have an ulcer or gastritis. In addition, beer is also an effective cure for hangover!
