WHY IS BEER BETTER?
Recent research has shown that beer is actually better for you than milk. Dairy products are loaded with fat and cholesterol, are frequently contaminated which chemicals and antibiotics, are linked to diabetes, certain cancers, and many other sicknesses, and are even thought to cause osteoporosis.
Beer does not contain hormones or antibiotics, while milk contains a wide array of pesticides, antibiotics, BGH and IGF-1, drugs both known to cause cancer. Beer also does not cause osteoporosis or any other illnesses when taken in moderation.
Milk is an extremely inhumane product to produce. Animals are not needlessly tortured, injured, or even killed in order to produce beer. PETA's College Action Campaign coordinator Morgan Leyh says, "Colleges have been busy banning kegs from campus. Ditch the dairy, not the beer!" PETA is also giving away free bottle openers that say, "Drinking Responsibly Means Not Drinking Milk-Save a Cow's Life."
When comparing nutritional values, it is very apparent that beer is much more healthful than milk.

Moderation
Most things in life are okay if taken in moderation. I do not agree with you when you say that no one has been harmed-keep in mind that thousands of people die or are killed every year by drunk drivers. Also, binge driking on college campuses has been an issue that has been studied by the Harvard School of Public Health- 1,400 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol related unintentional injuries including motor vehicle crashes-taken from the Journal of American College Helath, VOL 50, No. 5
