A beer after playing a game of football, a long run, or a strenuous round of golf can be good for the body, scientists say.

In a rare piece of good news for those who like a pint, Spanish researchers say beer can help someone who is dehydrated retain liquid better than water.

Prof Manuel Garzon, of Granada University, also claimed the bubbles in beer help to quench the thirst and that its carbohydrate content can help to replace lost calories.

What's so extraordinary about this? Makes sense to me, as long as you drink one beer after exercise, and not a 6-pack. Beer is nutritious, after all. It contains carbs, enzymes, some proteins, and no fat. Better than drinking a soda full of high fructose corn syrup, that's for sure.

This don't make no sense. Run a marathon, down a keg.... hard to get data on that research... they call it murder.

"...a strenuous round of golf."

No such thing. Sitting on the couch watching golf is more strenuous than playing golf.

I've found a cold beer to be good after doing a whole lot of nothing, too, never mind after exercise.
