Subject: RE: why drink beer?... triboy_20 - 2009-10-06 3:13 PM so i constantly hear of people always drinking beer after a workout or after a race. Why is this? do people feel the need to treat themselves to something that tastes good (cause if so, why not just drink something that isn't going to have alcohol or dehydrate you?), or is it out of celebration that they decide that it's ok to have one? It seems like people look forward to having a beer after a workout. Why? In my opinion, it's a waste, something that has no value to me. I'm not bashing people who drink by any means, it just seems to be something a lot of athletes do.....i'm just curious. What's your opinion?
Just wanted to let you know I just finished about an 8 mile run. While on the run I saw an empty beer can and threw it away ran into a police officer that I see and talk to here on occasion and he got quite a kick out seeing me run with the beer can and asked if I knew about hashers. Well of course I do and we had a nice little conversation for a few minutes then I went on my way and thought about this thread, how good a beer does taste after a good run, even though I haven't hashed in a few years thought this would be a good time for a Brew and a Bagel, so here I sit, sipping a nice frosty cold Fat Tire at about 9am and getting ready to toast a bagle. Cheers. Oh, BTW Triboy_20 do you ever pick up trash when you are out running or enjoy the outdoors? I try to leave the area I visit, workout in a little cleaner than it was when I arrived, hope you do the same. |
