Beer better than water for your post-workout drink

A study by a Spanish university found that drinking beer after a workout is better at rehydrating than drinking water.

Garzon said that the rehydration effection in those who were given beer was "slightly better" than those who were given only water. He also believes that the carbon dioxide in beer helps quench thirst more quickly, and that beer's carbohydrates replace calories lost during physical exertion.

No word on Gatorade or Vitamin Water, though.
