This reminded me of a funny story involving my nephew when he was sixteen. He developed kidney stones and the doctor told us that beer would relieve the discomfort quicker. Soooo, he practically lived with me at that time and his mother bought him beer as the doctor suggested. (Still not so sure about this.) He was such a respectful boy, he was mortified at the thought of drinking in front of me. I teased him for weeks!! We lost him three years ago...thanks for sparking the memory.
Sending healing thoughts your way. Let us know how he likes it.
I would keep an eye on him for the first few times.
Horses intox very easy and there are a few concerns we have out here on the farm as the result of that.
1) Is that they become very unstable on their feet. They can fall, run into or through stuff. And at 1000(are smallest horse) to 2100 pounds (Our Clydesdale) running into something can hurt the horse, and falling do to unsteady legs can also hurt the horse. Both inside and out.
For a horse that already has health issues, added injury would be bad. I know you know that. I was just typing it, for the sake of typing it.
2) They can become hyper, aggressive, overly playful ect. ect. This combined with reason #1 is also very dangerous.
This same thing can happen to a horse if you feed it silage (or for you old school horseman fodder).
It is basically from the fermenting process.
I would look into the active ingredient in the beer that is supposed to be affective and go from there?
Have you tried Apple Cider Vinegar? It is what we would use, or look at as an option first.
Good luck. Hope he gets better. I love geldings.
If this horse gets under a higher level of observation he might start flippin' us off... he is under the watchful eyes of some enormously experienced individuals. We're talking olympic team doctor assistant, arabian horse breeding ranch director, etc... The level of expertise at this facility is impressive, to say the least. (I'm surprised they let me near the barn...)
This particular brand of beer is high in vitamin B & C complexes, low in alcohol, high in other minerals, etc... and what the equiine vet prescribed. One beer a day, and time will tell. So far he consumed the first but wasn't real impressed and turned his little fuzzy muzzle up at today's offering.

That is good to hear. Sounds like you know the right people.
Sorry if what I said came off as doubting you or anything. I just wanted to offer my input.
I am a big softy for the Horses.
Haha yeah. It is hard to not fall in love with a gelding.
No PMS every month.(Pissed off Mare syndrome)
No I want to breed everything with in 100 miles and my attention span is so short, I promise I will forget you are on my back, standing next to me, or doing ground work with me in no more then 5 minutes. (Stallion) LOL.
When a gelding sees their "people" they just seem to have that "lets play together" energy.
