A recent study by researchers at the University of Greenwich, found that drinking 2 pots of beer may actually ease a headache more effectively than 2 paracetamol tablets.

The researchers found a small increase in pain threshold in participants that consumed alcohol and a moderate to large decrease in pain.

So 2 beers can give you some short term pain relief but remember not to over do it, because too much alcohol has been linked to health problems in the long term.
