Beer as a Recovery Drink
Those of you who know me well...or read this blog ever...know that I am OBSESSED with activities involving booze and sports/games. For instance, a few of my favorite things:
Check out Alkoholfrie Erdinger. Or Erdinger Alkoholfrie. Whatever. By way of ESPN the Mag- Google- Newser. According to this company, beer is a terrific post-exercise recovery drink. Forget what the experts are saying, I love where this company's think tank is going. What a great fucking idea.
From AP:
Beer: It's not just for couch potatoes anymore. A Bavarian brewmeister is touting its non-alcoholic beer as the latest sport drink for athletes, handing it out at the finish line of sporting events and touting its regenerative benefits. Unlike Gatorade, Erdinger Alkoholfrei is served up with a frothy head, and it comes in one color—a golden hue.
The company touts the beverage as an isotonic, vitamin-rich, no-additive beverage with natural regenerative powers that help athletes recover from a workout. In other words, it's carbohydrate-loaded refreshment without the alcoholic buzz of beer or the jitters caused by some energy drinks. "It's a very healthy product," says the US manager for Erdinger. But note: Alkoholfrei still contains less than 0.5% alcohol, making it a no-no in some states for anyone under 21.
Look I don't really give a shit if this stuff works. I'm buying it. Or O'Douls. Which is cheaper? The fact of the matter is I really don't care that at $10 a 6 pack it is more expensive than a gatorade, a thing of chocolate milk and a water bottle combined. Can it quench my thirst? Yes. Do I like beer? Yes. Will I probably add a shot of liquor because I don't really know what the point of "nonalcoholic" beer is? Of course. Will you be healthier with your compression socks and gallons of water? Decidely so. But I will be drunker. And there for much more fun than you.
- Tailgating football. Pro or College. With Booze.
- Watching football. Pro or College. With Booze.
- Beer Pong. Yes, it is a sport. In the pool or on land.
- Sloshball. If you don't know what this is, google it. I don't have time to educate.
- Beer leagues. Softball and kickball.
- Shuffleboard. The awesome kind. Not that bullshit- you're old and shouldn't really be moving kind.
- Running half marathons that involve booze. For instance- the Wine Country Half Marathon. My upcoming Vegas 13.1.
- Races that involve booze. Like the Skirtchaser which comes with 2 drink tickets that you redeem at the finish line. And also lots of single people.
- Shots and Ladders
- Cornhole
- Golf - driving range, putting, drunk driving the cart. Pretty standard stuff.

Helllooooo Eye Candy!
So today might have been the greatest day ever for mail (minus if there had been a million dollars in the mail). Not only did my Victoria's Secret Swim preview come but ESPN the magazine is also in my mailbox. Yes, I am that awesome. And the guy on the cover is looking HOT. I haven't even googled him yet. I'm going to see if I can locate a picture of the cover for you first...then we'll see if he's actually as good looking as my body seems to think judging by its response.

No. Dice. Damn.
Okay, basically a ball is covering half his face but his eyes are looking mighty fine. And aren't those windows to the soul anyway? If you get a chance, start scouting for the May 17 th issue to see what I'm talking about.
According to the MAG, he's the best hope for the world cup for America. There's a catch- he's Italian. And Upon opening the cover wider, he is MIGHTY fine.
Meet Giuseppe Rossi-a second striker for the Spanish club Villareal.

Born February 1, 1987, Giuseppe was born in NJ (hey boy heyyyyy) and has dual citizenship in both Italy and America. His Wikipedia is full of stats I don't understand because who really cares about soccer except during the World Cup. Or when David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo wander around with their shirts off? Speaking of shirts off...
