Well, allz I'm saying is that if beer helps build keep bones strong, then I'll never break a bone.

The same applies to moderate consumption of red wine 'to counter heart attacks'.
Btw, it's possible to have virtually alc free beer (0.1 to 0.5 percent leftover alc v/v) - then you can take the advantage of building really strong bones - I hope, it's not wishful thinking.
My recommendation:

The second link shows a ranking of 17 German alc free beers;
the winner is "Luebzer alkoholfrei"

My personal favorite is 'Flensburger frei', real beer (pilsner hops) taste without impact of alc. For fitness cracks: Erdinger Weissbier alkoholfrei is an isotonic beverage (taste slightly sweet, wheat beer). Drink it fridge cool.

Dietary silicon intake and absorption1,2,3
Mean silicon intakes in men (30 and 33 mg/d in the original Framingham and Framingham Offspring cohorts, respectively) were significantly higher than those in women (24 and 25 mg/d in the 2 cohorts, respectively; P = 0.0001). Silicon intakedecreased with age (P < 0.001, adjusted for sex). The major food sources were beer and bananas in men and bananas and string beans in women.

Silicon in beer and brewing
http://www.soci.org/News/press-beer-bone.aspx
Research reveals link between beer and bone health
Silicon is present in beer in the soluble form of orthosilicic acid (OSA), which yields 50% bioavailability, making beer a major contributor to silicon intake in the Western diet. According to the NIH, dietary silicon (Si), as soluble OSA, may be important for the growth and development of bone and connective tissue, and beer appears to be a major contributor to Si intake. Based on these findings, some studies suggest moderate beer consumption may help fight osteoporosis, a disease of the skeletal system characterised by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue.
