Effect of consumption of red wine, spirits, and beer on serum homocysteine

Lancet, Volume 355, No. 9214, Year 2000

Serum homocysteine increases after moderate consumption of red wine and spirits, but not after moderate consumption of beer. Vitamin B6 in beer seems to prevent the alcohol-induced rise in serum homocysteine.
