Ed,
"Bob", I had to choose some one with experience. And I choose to quote one who rose from the Stix, so to speak.
I have little desire for alcohol and my story is short and uninteresting for this post. Once I carried a small keg to Reese and ended up a little too sick to climb the next day. I wish Mike M of ST and his brother were there then--I wouldn't have had any to drink!
But I do have a curiosity about the drinking phenomena.
Endurox R4 is my only supplement. It was developed and tested by Burke for the US Olympic Cycling team about 10 years ago. He measured cyto photo kinase(CPK) ( a measure of muscle breakdown) after heavy exercise against a control group. He optimized this mix (water soluble protein stimulated with a sugar type cell wall opener). He found that a mix ratio of protein/carb of about 1:3.75 worked best(to reduce CPK when measured four hours after heavy exercise) when the carb was at a glycemic index of 58.
Hardly a supplement? It's protein and sugar at the best ratio for muscle recovery.
ONE CATCH: There is short window of time immediately after heavy exercise, 20-35 minutes, in which R4 will give up to a 35% reduction in CPK.

I can't drink hard liquor.
So for me, it's only beer and Tequila.
Saturday I'll post a photo of me sipping Tequilla on the beach in Honduras.

Jim Rye and some Reed's Ginger Ale.
Tasty and easy. No need for more than a couple though. Life is more interesting than a hangover most days.

Taps fishhouse Xpa... Moving on to some local brewed beer from bootleggers in Fullerton. I love beer, and have a few almost every night, just not like I used to. I went from super alcoholic, back to beer aficionado again. I think I've finally learned a little moderation in my later years.

Jbro, are you sure it wasn't the OW that made you puke?
I'm sucking down a Pilsner Urquell right now. I'm going on the wagon tomorrow though. No drinking for a month. I'll save so much money.
Cheers!!!!!!!666!!!111

I've been saying that every month for the past year, and it has yet to happen.

Heard that. I gave Poweraid up a few years ago. Those OW still keep creeping into my life though.
Heading to Woodies for one last stand.

I would rather be climbing the next day with a clear head.
Prune juice, coffee and the rest of that stuff - looks more like you'll be super-glued to a toilet seat somewhere, shitting your guts out.
