Beer that still has living yeast in it has a high level of vitamin B. If a beer contains a large amount of hops it has antiviral and antifungal properties, and the hops has a calming effect as well. When either wine or beer is consumed in quantities that exceed the bodies ability to metabolize alcohol, the liver is taxed and the body becomes "sickened" by the alcohol byproduct Acetaldehyde. At this point all beneficial factors the beer or wine will be outweighed by the negative effects of the intoxication(more than 1 ounce ethanol per hour). So in my opinion both wine and beer have the same health benefits pound for pound, but when overly consumed it really doesn't matter.
I myself have brewed and aged many forms of wine and beer, such explains my knowledge on the subject, but my opinion may differ from another with different experiences...either way...one or two good...any more bad.
