A pint of beer is better for you after a workout than water, say scientists Beer benefits: Researchers suspect that the sugars, salts and bubbles in a pint may help people absorb fluids more quickly. link

Based on the studies, the researchers have recommended moderate consumption of beer - 500ml a day for men or 250ml for women - as part of an athlete's diet. A typical person loses around a litre of water for every hour of exercise in sweat. People who fail to rehydrate after exercise are more likely to feel tired, fuzzyheaded and suffer headaches. A spokesman for the Campaign for Real Ale said "moderate levels" of beer had beneficial health effects. Past studies have shown that sensible drinking of one or two units a day can reduce the risk of heart disease, dementia, diabetes and Parkinson's disease, he said. The ingredients of beer - which include malted barley, hops and yeast - are rich sources of vitamins and minerals. Dr James Betts, an expert in post-exercise rehydration at Bath University, said: "People think of alcohol as being a diuretic, but if you are already hydrated, a small amount of beer could be a way of getting the fluid in." The best way of rehydrating after exercise was with a sports drink containing sugars, water and salt, he added.

When a pint of beer isn’t a pint of beer link
When you go to the gas station, do you expect to get a gallon of gas for your money? How about 3/4 of a gallon? How about 3/4 instead of 1 for any commodity? This happens every day to patrons of restaurants and taverns.
The standard beer measure, which we adopted from our neighbors across the pond, is a pint. Many of the restaurants and taverns in Colorado have adjusted the pint by using a glass that holds 3/4 of that amount and call it a pint, even when they advertise they are serving pints. Who is being duped? Everybody? Even if the tavern owner doesn’t know the difference because of ignorance, should we as customers expect less or accept less than the traditional pint of brew?

I had to quit. I have this habit of walking into things. As entertaining as that is (to me anyway) I had to stop before my forehead became totally flat.
