Veganism (also strict or pure vegetarianism) is a philosophy and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose.[1][2] Vegans do not use or consume animal products of any kind.[3] The most common reasons for becoming a vegan are ethical commitment or moral convictions concerning animal rights, the environment, or human health, and spiritual or religious concerns.[4][5][2] Of particular concern are the practices involved in factory farming and animal testing, and the intensive use of land and other resources required for animal farming.

Various polls have reported vegans to be between 0.2%[4] and 1.3%[6] of the U.S. population, and between 0.25%[5] and 0.4%[7] of the UK population. The Times estimated in 2005 that there were 250,000 vegans in Great Britain.[7]

Vegan diets are a subset of vegetarian diets, which are credited with lowering the risk of colon cancer, heart attack, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, and stroke.[8] However, vegan diets can be low in levels of calcium, iodine, and vitamins B12 and D. Vegans are therefore encouraged to plan their diet and take dietary supplements as appropriate.

from reading this it sounds like they dont drink any type of alcohol due to the fact that it raises blood pressure. that makes the most sense to me anyway.

well chronic drinkin does anyway. it definately explains the cholesterol and hear attack side tho.

Most vegans that do not drink are Straight Edge, both were a popular part of the Hardcore Punk movement. The lifestyle eventually caught on in Pop culture though.

I'm vegan and I drink recreationally, and I'm not aware of any animal products in beer.

with you being a vegan i would like to ask if the heart disease and high cholesterol factor has anything to do w/ vegans not drinking.

Well, I do drink, and my Cholesterol, Blood Pressure (which is a big one people worry about in relation to alcohol) and my heart seems to be working well. A lot of people don't because they view it as unhealthy and if you're literally sacrificing and going out of your way to be so healthy, it would seem pointless to most.


And Im a afraid I must correct myself it seems that Guinness and other "Real Dark Lagers" have a collagen found in fish bladders used as fining. Milk and egg were used in old times but those gave way to other methods. Most other beers use algae now. Luckily I've always been more a fan of Pale Ales.
