The Great Debate: Beer versus Vodka
The purpose of the occasion, your particular situation, and even personal preferences will determine whether you order beer or vodka. Shouldn’t you make an informed choice?
Vodka was born in the early 15th century as an aid to survive the frozen tundra winters of Poland and Russia and was used for everything from medicine to a cleansing agent.
Beer, on the other hand, has been produced since the existence of Ancient Mesopotamia and has been enjoyed on a casual basis since that time, with the popularity of the drink becoming an economic opportunity for brewmasters.
Benefits from Choosing Vodka
Drinkers have no shortage of variety. We at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits offer several brands of both, but vodka itself provides several advantages that we think should be brought forward more often.
Impacts on Heart Health
Beer drinkers do not gain the benefits to heart health that vodka drinkers enjoy. Even as drinking vodka can minimize factors that contribute to heart disease, drinking beer will have the opposite effect. A single shot of liquor daily reduces the consequences of blocked blood vessels by at least 10% by increasing HDL cholesterol and thinning the blood.
Impacts on Weight
The differences in the production methods between vodka and beer lead to a difference in calorie count and nutrition. Beer makers mash the grains in water, activating enzymes that convert complex sugars into simple sugars that are higher in calorie count. Vodka, on the other hand, is distilled and filtered to the point that all sugars are converted or filtered out, leaving only alcohol.
Beer drinking causes such fluctuations with glucose levels that may inspire increased hunger and lead to overindulgence as well. If you’re looking for a drink that won’t lead to weight gain, choose vodka.
Impacts on Drink Menu
Beer tends to be a one-trick pony. You’ll find a few quality mixed drink recipes based around beer, but when compared to vodka’s mixing potential, it’s no contest.
All about Taste Preference
Ultimately, choosing between vodka and beer will come down to which one you like better or would prefer at the moment. As with all taste preferences, try a few brands before announcing your favorite!
Production and Characteristics of Vodka
Vodka can be made from various grains, including corn, rye, wheat, potatoes, and more, and then fermented to create alcohol, distilled to remove the alcohol for use, and then weakened with purified water to make it ingestible. Most vodka is 80 proof, which means 40% Alcohol by Volume.
Vodka is flavorless, odorless, and colorless without additives and provides a terrific, malleable base for mixed drinks.
