Beer is a versatile drink.
Not only is the bevvy one of the most-consumed alcoholic drinks, it also serves lots of other useful purposes.
This National Beer Day, we’re bringing you all the things you can do with a beer besides drinking it (which you can do, of course, but save a bottle or two for other things).
You can use the goods for beauty purposes, like washing your hair for a sleek and shiny look.
The proteins, B vitamins and sugars in the beer help to add shine if you do it every now and again.
Fans of a beer rinse say it is good for curly hair as it improves elasticity and helps with heat damage, while others say it helps with hair growth.
But you’ll need to pour your beer into a container and leave it overnight. It needs to be flat and lukewarm for the rinse.
You can implement it in other beauty regimes like having a bath with it (this one is going to require a lot of beer, we know).
But the yeast in the beer will exfoliate and soften your skin.
We’re no medical experts but apparently beer can also help pass kidney stones.
That’s because beer is diuretic in nature meaning it makes you want to pee, allowing the stones to pass easily.
Beer is also a safe way to attract and kill slugs. The yeasty sweet smell lures them and the ethanol in the beer kills them, or they simply fall into the traps and drown.
If you’d rather consume the stuff (who could blame you?), there are also cooking options like a roast chicken.
You can use it to marinate and tenderise meat with its acidity which won’t leave a smell.
Alternatively, you can try adding half a cup when you boil rice or simply add to homemade barbecue sauces.
Go forth and enjoy.
