Deadspin
If a serial killer broke into my apartment while I was sleeping in the nude, and I only had enough time to either throw on pair of jeans OR put on some running shoes, I would pick the running shoes every time. Yup. I feel much more vulnerable barefoot than when I'm actually naked. Shoes give me power. I can't fight or run from a man barefoot. No way. Shoes are my spinach.
Huh? What? Gah. I'm fuckin' drunk. Sorry. I just ran a marathon.
According to Manuel J Castillo Garzón, Professor of Human Physiology from Spain's University of Granada, beer is actually better at rehydrating the body after exercise. When he gave some runners a half-pint of beer after a workout, it showed that beer helped quench their thirst and replenish calories better than those given water.And that drunk, Garzón, isn't the only one backing the claims. Juan Antonio Corbalan, a (drunk) cardiologist who worked formerly with Real Madrid football players and Spain's national basketball team, said beer had the perfect profile for re-hydration after sport.
Spain's national team? So this explains those Pau Gasol commercials ...

Vin Baker has been preaching this for years.
Wow, I've been ahead of my time.
Also, another excuse to reinstitute beer back into MLB clubhouses.
I rehydrated the fuck outta myself with some Guinness after my soccer game this past Tuesday.
Sadly, I was not in tip-top physical shape the next day.
@being sven: You like that game today?
this explains those crazy hashers.
These so-called "scientists" have obviously never played drunken basketball. Worst...idea...ever.
@Hernandez-is-the-Mandez: almost as bad an idea as drunken pool basketball
Uhhh...drunken, raining, slip-n-slide tackle football...
I don't think I need to say more...
Maybe this explains why I dance better while drinking.
@being sven: Just letting you know I'm going to have Torres' children.
Tony La Russa has known this all along.
@Hernandez-is-the-Mandez: Eddie Griffin agrees
@Hernandez-is-the-Mandez: It's a great idea when your opposition is drunker than you.
@Devin Hester Prynne: Andy Hall also a big fan.
@drew.catt: Not if I beat you to it!
At tOSU, here is the the glory of the Dick's Den Marathon. I might also add that they had a giant trash can outside for the puke. I never ran it, but I watched a time or two.

Brilliant! Considering water has no calories.
@twoeightnine: Evidence you've never had spanish water.
Did anyone else just see everyone at the Wisconsin game dancing to "Jump Around?" Even the announcers and the TV crew got into it.
And Manningham scores on a 97-yard TD.

Ah, Michigan...serving up picks like hotcakes.

Being a middle inning relief pitcher takes it's toll on on a dehydrating body. Therefore, Josh Hancock agrees with this study. Too soon?
Nothing better than slow pitch softball than a keg set up at 2nd base. It made the batters show more grit than David Eckstein trying to stretch singles into a double.
I've heard Wade Boggs is one hydrated mofo.
