As the lent season continues, an Ohio man named Dell Hall has disclosed that he gave up food but has been surviving on a beer-only diet.
Fox 2 reports that Dell has done the same for the last three years, which makes this the fourth consecutive year.
He is, however, quick to add that taking beer in place of food has nothing to do with getting drunk.
"You can, you know, use a beer in a very healthy way and not vilify it like this, you know, evil alcohol," he explained.

The alcohol is bolstered by the fact that he always keeps healthy, hydrated, and takes a lot of vitamins.
Not medically approved
This year's Lent will come to an end on April 14, and Dell is proud to announce that he's already lost 11.3 kgs courtesy of his unconventional diet.
Apart from weight loss, his beer-only diet is also geared towards raising funds for people with physical disabilities through the Ken Anderson Alliance.
The chief clinical officer at Mercy Health Cincinnati Stephen Feagins, however, poked holes in Dell's idea, saying that it is not sustainable.
"Thankfully, this is a Lent thing, not a forever thing," he maintained.
His sentiments stem from the fact that medically, excessive drinking has been found to cause numerous health problems among them high blood pressure, damage to liver cells, and psychological disorders.
Nigerian is one of the best-selling nations for beer
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigeria was ranked among the best-selling countries for beer, helping companies' producers to smile home with over N947 billion( $2.29 billion).
This was disclosed in a report titled “Beer’s Global Economic Footprint” which was put together by Oxford Economics.
The report ranked Nigeria in the 30 best markets for beer companies out of over 70 surveyed in the report.
