"   Lager lovers rejoice: A just-released report shows that drinking beer on the regular won&amp;#039;t necessarily give you a telltale belly.  According to a new report by the British Beer and Pub Association (which, of course, could be just a teensy bit biased), drinking a bottle of beer may keep you more svelte than tipping back a glass of wine. The findings show that replacing two large glasses of wine a day with two bottles of beer could save you more than 500 calories each week. And that amounts to nearly 60,000 calories a year. The reason? Not only does wine have more alcohol than beer (especially when compared to those lighter ales), but with wine glass sizes being ginormous nowadays, it&amp;#039;s easier to control your consumption by drinking from a bottle instead. Plus, beer isn&amp;#039;t really all that bad for you, in moderation. It actually contains as many good-for-you ingredients as wine, including fiber and antioxidants, and is also known to help stave off osteoporosis.  Naturally, these findings don&amp;#039;t mean that you should go out and do a keg stand. But, if you prefer an amber, blonde, or IPA to a glass of vino, rest-assured that you won&amp;#039;t necessarily get a tummy to show for it.  Want more from Natasha?
