Extreme Veteran 694   | Subject: RE: Caffene/Alcohol-- bryancd - 2009-06-25 6:21 AM I am a regular 2 big mugs per day in the morning coffee drinker and usually enjoy 2-3 glasses of wine at night making and eating dinner. Can't say I have had any adverse effect and can't say it makes me slower or less healthy as I eat extremely healthy foods and drink a lot of water. Maybe if I was a pro and it was my career, but otherwise life is too short.  Same here, coffee in the morning and then two or three pints of draft beer at night nearly every day. I am nearly fifty years old, in the best fitness of my life and feel great. When I start feeling not so great, I will alter my activities. |

I've seen it in the stores here and I'm pretty sure that the Lost Dog carries it. If you can't find it, go to the Dogfishhead Ale House in Seven Corners - they probably have it there.

Expert 937 Traverse Cityish | Subject: RE: Caffene/Alcohol-- jazz82482 - 2009-06-25 2:49 PM Here, to get us back on topic- I like beer. I train hard, so that I feel no guilt whatsoever when I drink a cold beer with my dinner Specifically, Bell's Two Hearted IPA.  I love the Michigan brews, but Dogfish Head 90 minute kills off Two Hearted even if it is named after Hemmigway's favorite fishing spot. For those that like their beer and coffee, you must try the Founders breakfast stout and Kentucky Breakfast stout. The KBS is aged in a bourbon barrel and is by far the best stout I have ever had. Only problem is finding it. BTW, love the half hearted ale name on the home brew. We did three batches of a two hearted clone once and tried three different yeast strains. It was interesting to see how different each one tasted. |

I meant available on tap, I work near the gaithersburg one, live near seven corners and they have never had it on tap, and hardly have the bottles. Total wine hardly has the bottles too, so I usually just get the 90's. Outside of the original location, the 120 is usually only seasonal. |

I still have many years to go before mine is conclusive. |

Champion 5782 Northridge, California | Subject: RE: Caffene/Alcohol-- Caffeine for me is mostly Diet Coke and I've tried to cut that out after noon (just because I don't get enough sleep as it is). I'd almost completely stopped drinking alcohol recently...it stops being a lot of fun as you get older (at least that's been the case for me) and as you see the cumulative effects it's had on other people your age. Ultimately, I found--much as I love beer and single malts, and used to be a home brewer--that alcohol is wasted calories and significantly impairs your liver's capacity to process fats and was a big contributor to my having become very obese over the years. Not interested in ever going back to the obesity and so the alcohol consumption's been curtailed. Recently I've been told I'm at risk for a genetic blood disorder (hemochromatosis, which my dad found out he has) which would increase the chances of cirrhosis...I'm waiting for an appointment with a hematologist next month, but, in the meantime, I figured I might as well take the small step of just cutting out alcohol altogether. I don't miss it, frankly (which is good, since my dad nearly drank himself to death before quitting five years ago and his dad was an alcoholic, also). |

New user 70 | Subject: RE: Caffene/Alcohol-- I am a 2 cups of coffee in the AM guy. I would safely bet that this will never change unless I was told by a doctor to change it!!! BTW, Gordo is a HUGE coffee guy ... but I also have some pro friends who swear off coffee during the racing season in order to take advantage of the caffeine enhancement when racing.... I quit drinking 5 years ago. Can't comment on that -- except that when I quit, I dropped weight immediately, those calories add up fast! ken |

Veteran 192 Southern California | Subject: RE: Caffene/Alcohol-- I just gave up my beers for the next 4 weeks until Vineman and it is torture. I also am really trying to keep my diet in order during this time. This is strictly to try and get my weight down a few pounds and as a test. I expect that the weight will come down mostly because of the calories cut. I gave up the bber and the wife gave up the diet coke, both of which are our treats. I normally have 1-2 Stone IPAs the night before along ride or race and it doesn't seem to hurt, but I am a 1-2 beer a night person and of course some of our Family wine get mixed in too. As for coffee, I go with Peets French Roast by the pot, usually 2-3 cups a day. The only time I don't drink coffee is the days that I have a morning workout or race. Most of my workouts are afterwork or at lunch. I find that coffee and working out does not agree with me, mostly due to the 'need to pee' factor I get. Once lunch rolls around I am on to Iced Tea for the rest of the day. Water mixed in all day with the coffee, tea, and beer. My favorite: |

Veteran 314 SoCal | Subject: RE: Caffene/Alcohol-- mmrocker13 - 2009-06-25 7:16 AM I think the tiny, mini, eensy, weensy possible gains I may make by giving up my thermos of coffee in the AM and my alcohol in the...other times would not come even close to offsetting the annoyance I would have at giving up those two things. i concur. i'm a happy-to-be-finishing kind of gal and the likely minimal gains i'd get by giving up caffeine and alcohol would not come close to outweighing my morning coffee and social beer/wine drinking. i'm also an everything-in-moderation believer. (and this is a wee kind of stalker-esque weird random aside to mmrocker13, but i totally remember your screen/username from when Runner's World had good women's forums ... that was years ago when i posted there ... and how i remember this is beyond me. i promise i'm not much of a stalker. really. )Edited by novas 2009-06-28 3:24 PM |
