Body: <p>I really like the flavor of dark beer, but I hate getting buzzed. Thus, I have developed the habit of drinking a single beer over the course of 1-3 days, because then I can keep my BAC low (ie. sub 0.01%). I am curious if the health effects of drinking slowly differ from drinking fast and intermittently.</p>
  <p>For example, will the following have different health effects and how?</p>
  <ul>
  <li>1 beer drunk in 10 min every day</li>
  <li>1 beer drunk in 8 hours every day</li>
  </ul>

  I really like the flavor of dark beer, but I hate getting buzzed. Thus, I have developed the habit of drinking a single beer over the course of 1-3 days, because then I can keep my BAC low (ie. sub 0.01%). I am curious if the health effects of drinking slowly differ from drinking fast and intermittently.
  
  For example, will the following have different health effects and how?
  
  * 1 beer drunk in 10 min every day
  * 1 beer drunk in 8 hours every day
