New Sports Drink: Beer

Spanish researchers have conducted a study stating that God was a beer drinker beer is a better post-activity drink than water.

Prof Garzon asked a group of students to do strenuous exercise in temperatures of around 40ºC (104ºF). Half were given a pint of beer, while the others received the same volume of water.

Prof Garzon, who announced the results at a press conference in Granada beneath a banner declaring "Beer, Sport, Health", said the hydration effect in those who drank beer was "slightly better".

Spanish researchers are cool. I knew Morris Buttermaker was a genius. He made the right move by giving those kids some brews after their final game against the hated Yankees.

And I knew I was in the right when I took some suds to my baseball games in the NABA. These researchers deserve a Nobel Prize.

No word yet on whether or not smoking once you have a buzz from your post-activity beer is healthy as well.
