There is a mass delusion that beer does not cause dependence because it is low alcohol drink. The real picture shows the improbable number of beer stomachs, problems with alcoholism and a sore liver. And many already begin to think of how to stop drinking beer for the sake of the health.
When people begin to take alcohol, they do not assume that they can get to strong dependence on it. In the beginning alcoholic drinks are way to distract, relax, spend time. However over time alcohol becomes a part of a metabolism and results in strong dependence.
