Pop a top and give me twenty!

So this is my kind of news! A recent study has shown that drinking beer after a work out is better than water. I knew I was on to something!

Check out the article here. An excerpt from it:

The study was conducted on 25 students of Granada University by Professor Manuel Garzon.

They were asked to run on a treadmill under stifling temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius / [104 degrees Farenheit] until they were close to exhaustion.

Their hydration levels, concentrationability and motor skills were later measured by the researchers.

While half were given two half pints of Spanish lager to drink, the rest were provided water. Both groups were then allowed to drink as much water as they wanted.

Professor Garzon said the rehydration effect in the students who were given beer was slightly better than those given water.

The article goes on to say that the carbon dioxide in beer helps quench thirst more quickly, while the carbohydrates replaced the calories lost during exertion.

Perhaps Gatorade will be coming out with a new GatorBeer?
We can only hope.
