YES! Beer Hydrates Better Than Water

By Rocky Thompson on June 2nd, 2009

Researchers in Spain have found that drinking two pints of lager after exercising to near exhaustion rehydrates your body better than drinking water. The totally scientific study was based on Spanish students over the course of a few weeks, and they found the 25 students given beer instead of water were slightly more hydrated. Of course, I’ve known this for years, but I’m sure my pre-hydrating method of drinking beers before working out will still turn some heads.
