Beer ingredients

Recommended Posts

What ingredient is in beer that makes me feel so bloated the next day? Wine and liquor don't have the same effect. And, do some beers have less of the offending ingredient than others?

Hmm.. quite a few barstool beer myths going around it seems.:D

Hops is a flavourant, it hardly ferments at all because it contains extremely little sugar or starch.

Starch, in the form of rice or barley, is what ferments. It breaks up into malt (or maltose) which is then processed by the yeast to release ethanol and carbon dioxide.

The kind of beer that makes you feel 'bloated' is usualy the kind with a 'heavier' body where not enough of the malt was fermented and it's mostly the residual malt content that makes one feel bloated.
You should be drinking 'lighter' beers. :)

Drinking lighter beers might be a good idea but if you really want to feel even less bloated then you should drink Scotch.

Great Tasting - Less Filling!

I may not know the science of it, but I disagree with your conclusion.

The beers that play havoc with me in the morning are (A) cheap domestics [regular, light, ice, whatever] (B) microbrews and (C) other lighter colored thinner bodied beers.

Point there, coors has always been good to me during, after, and the next day. Can't say the same for the company I keep with coors light :P

Ok...what's lighter than Bud Light? :ph34r:



Coors Light or Miller Light - Michelob Ultra - Scotch - Vodka - Jello Shots - should I go on?

To add:

There is an important difference between 'light body' beer and light (low alcohol) beer.

Most of the 'light' beer labels are lower in alcohol than the regular labels but may still have been manufactured in a way that leaves a bit too much malt unfermented, resulting in a 'heavier' body.
The only way to identify the light-bodied beers is to try them all :).
They will typicaly be lighter in color.

BTW.. has anyone other than skymama felt bloated from Bud Light ?
Maybe its more than just beer to blame.;)

psst,you need to drink some water before you go to sleep.Problem is that you can drink alot of beer before getting really drunk(compared to vine and so).Alcohol is trying to puch out water of your body(thats why you need a toilet so often),what you feel the next day is that your body is dehydrated...:P

well atleast it helps to me(and my gf works at Carlsberg = free beer),and i like beer(ohh and my gf:P)
