Beer > Water

Yet more proof that Beer is sent from the Gods for us here to all enjoy. It turns out that our favorite frothy beverage can help someone who has sweat regain liquid better than water. Some wise Spanish scientists just figured this out.

The bubbles help to quench thirst and the carbohydrate in beer help replace lost calories. The study results came from testing 25 college students asked to do strenuous exercises in 104-degree temperatures. They were then split into two groups, one given beer and other water to help them recover. The tests were conducted over several months. The hydration effect in those who drank beer was "slightly better" than those who drank water, said study leader, professor Manuel Garzon of Granada University.

Amazing huh? Basically, to hell with drinking water, gatorade, powerade, vitamin water or any of that other new fangled, electrolyte giving drinks!! Just go with the old standard, BEER. I mean really, it worked for Babe Ruth?
