The Journal of Epidemiology revealed a 40 percent decrease in kidney stones among beer drinkers. This is most likely secondary to the hydration from the beer since we don’t note a similar finding with other alcohol consumption.

So if you want to avoid the extreme pain associated with kidney stones, grab a couple of brews and drink to stone-free days ahead.

Speaking from experience; if you do get a stone, a couple of beers will help pass it easier.
