    Historically beer was consumed because the water supply was unsafe. So yes, it does hydrate you.

    See this: http://www.backpacker.com/blogs/1074

    It was also a major source of calories for a lot of the population. So calling it liquid bread is actually not too wide of the mark.

    Well, I ran a 10 mile trail race attached to a 50K once, and the Ultra Runners were drinking beer at aid stations....so obviously your theory is correct.

    "In wine there is wisdom.
    In beer there is strength.
    In water there is bacteria."

    Not sure who said that, but I've heard it for years. Pretty much sums up Life, if you ask me.

    A TOAST! To the OP!

    I mean, it's mostly water, right? So if it's 7% alcohol, that just a little more than 11 oz left. Subtract the barley, malt, and whatever extras might be in there, it's gotta be at least 8 or 9 oz of pure water, right?

    I'm logging it, 1 beer = 8oz of water.


    This blows my mind, I don't see how anyone has problem drinking enough water, let alone feels the need to keep track of it.
