To counteract the effects of beer, which can include dehydration and a decrease in calcium levels due to its diuretic properties [1], consuming calcium-rich alternatives can be beneficial. Here are some options:

1. Dairy products: Milk, cheese, and yogurt are all high in calcium. A glass of milk (244g) contains approximately 300mg of calcium, which is about 30% of the daily recommended intake for adults [2].

2. Leafy green vegetables: Broccoli, kale, and spinach are excellent sources of calcium. For example, 100g of cooked broccoli provides around 100mg of calcium [3].

3. Fortified plant-based milks: Soy, almond, and oat milks are often fortified with calcium, making them a good option for those who are lactose intolerant or vegan [4].

4. Fish with edible bones: Sardines and salmon are rich in calcium. A 92g serving of canned sardines in oil with bones provides approximately 350mg of calcium [5].

5. Calcium-fortified juices: Some fruit juices are fortified with calcium, providing an alternative source of this mineral [6].

Remember, it's always important to maintain a balanced diet and consult with a healthcare professional or a dietitian for personalized advice.
