Beer!

Guest

Ahhhhh..... the old hops and barley!!!

Personally I believe its the ultimate form of carboloading.....its mainly water, so you're hydrated. The added hops, barley and grains give you those much wanted slow-release carbos. And once you let rip with the inevitable 70 dB burp, you feel so much lighter, perfect for going fast uphill ;D

My personal favourite brew is Pilsner Urquell...a beer from Czechoslovakia (spelling???). Anybody know it?

I htink your right reynhardt

I don't drink often but when I do it's usually a cider but sometimes a lager. Only Castle lager though

When I'm fit I can't drink much. The metabolism is so fast and your body processes the alcohol so efficiently that I can't manage more than one or two drinks. But I seem to recover fairly quickly from the effects.  ;D

Ever sat in the bunch a smelt the guys who were drinking the night before. The sweat smell is absolutely putrid. yeeuuuck!!!

reynhardt, alcohol may be good for carboloading but not for hydration.

Yip, I'm with you on this one! One Smirnoff Ice (5% alchohol vol.) and I start buzzing!
I'll be honest, I don't handle alchohol very well :-[

I used to be able to handle at least a bit of alchohol. Now even half a glass of anything alcholic puts me on a buzz.

I dont like beers, stick to ciders. Wine has to be sweet. Hard tack I stay away from. I like shooters but I only have them when forced to at social gatherings. Other wise I just dont touch alcohol.

At work they think I'm mad, I dont touch coffee, I dont smoke and I dont drink. But I dont consider myself a health fanatic. I'll eat anything in my way.

Beer......beer......did someone say beer.......where!! ;D beer is nice. Couldnt stand it till i hit 18 and then i really acquired a taste for it, give me a corona a lemon and im happy as larry! Or a good old Toohey Extra Dry! A fine Aussie drop!

Don't get to embibe, too much.  But, I have a fancy for Samuel Adams when I am feeling frisky.  I usually like honey wheat, or darker beers.

Occasionally, I get a wierd craving for Carlsberg.

But, mostly, get me a glass of good wine and a kick a$% meal!  That is my weakness.

I'm a fan of Mexican Beers. Negro Modelo, when in the mood for a dark beer and Corona other times. But, if I really want a drink it's bourbon and Maker's Mark (Kentucky Small batch) is the choice.

Just can't seem to drink as much and be productive the next day as I could when in College. Hhmmmm...wonder why not? :-/ :-/ :-/
