What's worse on the body: 6-pack of beer or a 6-pack of Mountain Dew?

Depends on the beer but definitely Mountain Dew.
Drinking a 6 pack of Corona Premier is healthier than soda

Definitely mountain dew. Sugar kills more people than tobacco. Its insane how bad sugar is for you with how its consumed today.
Both lead to visceral fat, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, poor cardiovascular circulation, and diabetes.
At the very least, Heineken doesn't taste anywhere near as good as Dew, so you'd be drinking less of that in comparison.

It's the same poison. However, Mountain Dew also has caffeine and other junk in there, probably.
with beer, its very simple whats going into your body. Carbs from grains.
soda is an insane amount of sugar, processed shit, caffeine (which isnt bad by itself), and its higher calorie.
switch to hard liqour straight if u wanna drink and be calorie conscious

Sugars are carbohydrates.
The queston depends on your alcohol tolerance, a lot of people will feel bad with that amound of alcohol, but I'm going with the one with more kcal. On long term, the alcohol is worst.
What is healthier, eating a gallon of ice cream in one sitting or eating 1lb of shortbread cookies in one sitting?
I say Ice cream, it probably at least has a little protein and saturated fat from the cream. Cookies are most likely almost all empty calories
You mean daily? Type 2 Diabetes and likely obesity vs. cirrhotic liver +/- alcohol dependence disorder. Excellent question. A 6 pack daily is 42 drinks a week, which is like 6x the weekly amount for "risky drinking." 6 pack of mountain dew is = ~600-700 more calories per day and 180 grams of sugar.
I would say 6 pack daily would be worse - cirrhosis will lead to either full liver failure (requires transplant), hepatic cancer, bleeding to death from varices, cerebellar/brain damage, risk of withdrawal --> death, and complicated by being a lifelong alcoholic. Not to mention damage to your personal/professional life. I would be hard counseling a patient if I heard this.
Diabetes comes with its own loads of consequences however, but can be controlled to an extent, and much of the damage will depend on overall caloric consumption. Like a huge amount people already have this.

Excess sugar leads to the same health complications that alcohol does.
Sugar is in fact even more dangerous because at least with alcohol you get acute effects signalling it's a poison (loss of motor skills, hangover, etc.). Sugar on the other hand is still looked at as something you can out exercise, which is virtually impossible for anyone not undergoing an athlete's regimen (so, the vast vast majority of people).
You can get fatty liver disease from sugar too. In fact, your liver can produce even more lipid molecules breaking down sugar since fructose can only be broken down by the liver.
Lord knows if you consume both Dew and Heineken that de Novo lipogenesis is functioning damn near round the clock.
Mt Dew was originally created as a mixer for whiskey. I'm not sure I want to try dew flavored beer though.
thing with "beer belly" is it isn't necessarily fat there in that bulge
i've gone from having brad pitt in fight club abs to dennis franz pregnant abs and right back to brad pitt abs in within a span of 24 hours. the empty calories are one thing, but so is the gas/excess liquid

Oh for sure this was a 1 off, we drink San Pellegrino Dark Cherry and other various flavors
I'm aware and you're correct, but the extent of pathology with alcoholic cirrhosis is more severe.
depends on the beer:
If you drink a 6 pack of 7.7% IPA, you're screwed.
That Mountain Dew is way more dangerous than a 6 pack of 5.2% lager, though.

Need pics with time stamp, especially for the Pitt abs. But yes, bloat is certainly a thing.
joke obvs but seriously some emergency cardio, 15 mins in a sauna, water and gas x it's amazing how much of that isn't fat
To add to that, one can of the soda already contains 25% more than your daily recommended amount of added sugars. Just one. A full six pack is enough sugar for nearly eight adult grown men.
