Ummm...? Sure it's possible for heavy, long term abuse could lead to those things, but what does that have to do with the question of having one beer a day?
Even 4 beers a day wouldn't be considered dangerous, I don't think..?
One may as well say that klonopin abuse could lead to all kinds of damage and better to stick to alcohol..
