According to a new study, drinking a beer a day reduces the risk of kidney stones by 41 percent.

This is great news for all beer drinkers because kidney stones are brutal. Just ask someone who’s had to deal with them.

Drinking coffee and wine also help, as coffee and wine reduce the risk by between 26 and 33 percent.

Unfortunately, you’re in trouble if you’re a soda junkie. People who drink one or more sugar-sweetened sodas per day are looking at a 23- to 33-percent higher risk of developing the problem.
