Why the post ride brew is a bad idea.
I'm guilty. After a hard ride or intense workout in the gym a beer often sounds delightful. In an effort to reduce weight for the upcoming race season I'm looking for anyway to reduce my mass. To that end I did a bit of research to see if I could find some motivation to curtail the beers. What follows is an list, founded in science, that shows why drinking beer is bad. From reduced muscle mass to dehydration. I hope this list is helpful to some of you!

I like nothing more than having a few beers in the evening after a long ride, horses for courses I reckon!

Interesting, nice post. Im sure there is a dose-response relationship where a very small quantity may be beneficial.
