How long can you survive on beer alone

NO ONE IS SURE.. BUT PLEASE DON'T TRY TO FIND OUT! By Matt Roper

Q HOW long could you live on beer alone?

A BEER is made from malted barley, which is rich in some vitamins.

In fact, a pint can provide more than five per cent of the daily recommended intake B9, B6 and B2 - almost the same as a slice of brown bread.

It also contains 40g of sugar per litre, in the form of maltose and glucose, and it's 90 per cent water so you won't go thirsty.

But the alcohol dehydrates you and you'll miss out on other vitamins like A, C and D.

No-one knows how long a human can survive on just beer, but it's not a good idea to try to find out.

The alcohol may take your mind off food, but it would eventually destroy your liver.
