I can!!! Groves doesn't "outlaw" grains, although he says he doesn't eat them himself. He lists meal plans in "Natural Health and Weight Loss" that allow a slice of bread with a fried breakfast, for example.

The Brit who is anti-wheat is Dr John Briffa as he has had a lot of patients in his practice who have problems with wheat. He wouldn't recommend wheat in his LC plans.

Groves doesn't recommend beer because of its relatively high sugar content. Apparently, maltose, the sugar in beer, is a very fast-acting sugar, too. But I have never read anything by him about the need to give up beer because of the gluten content.
