If you had no food and only Beer to drink how long could you Live?

My friend told me the other day that if you were stuck on a dessert island and had nothing but Beer to drink you'd be dead in a month...is that true?

    Well alcohol actually dehydrates you and acts as a diuretic, so my money would be on dying sooner than drinking nothing at all, because the diuretic effect would rid you of all the water retained in your body, which could be used to get you to survive longer when you have nothing to drink at all. I have no source for this, and it is more of just an educated guess. However, if you're dying of dehydration either way, getting drunk would sure take the edge off :P
