Beer better than water to beat Vegas heat

Grenada University completed a study that claims that healthy people who do vigorous exercise in high heat are better off drinking both beer and water than water alone. It seems the bubbles help the body process water more quickly and refresh the blood and cells with that important H2O. The bubbles apparently help hydration more than the alcohol inhibits it. Leave it to the Spaniards to justify cerveza on a hot day.

Also, as Stephen Fry points out in the video below, though alcohol and caffine are diuretics, they are in such small doses compared to water in all the forms we enjoy, that they actually hydrate us when we drink them.




So, stay away from high calorie sugary drinks of varied alcoholic content and tap the beverage the fucks you up and keeps you going - BEER!
