    There is no truth in the rumour I picked my bike's frame size so that it would fit a wine bottle.
    Shame I forgot the corkscrew.....

    Its hard to hold my Scotch while doing dead lifts..... I will have to research a away to not spill a drop!

    I have not tried this yet. Not sure how I feel about this, but have hopes that the goodness of Scotch can overcome all obstacles.

    Higher Heartrate equals more calories burned! Thats even better reason to drink beer while doing exercise!

    No. Not in this case, unfortunately.

    Heart rate doesn't measure calorie burn, it's loosely correlated with it under a limited set of circumstances (mainly steady state cardio). The amount of work (in pretty much the physics sense of work) determines the calorie burn. If it's a hot environment, or a person is dehydrated (to name just a couple of examples) their heart rate will be higher for the same amount of work (calories) than if it were cool or they were well hydrated. That's part of the problem with using heart rate monitors to estimate exercise calories.

    The alcohol is causing the increased heart rate, for a level of work, therefore calorie burn, that would result in a lower heart rate if there were no alcohol in the system. No extra calorie burn, just higher heart rate

    If high heart rate were enough to burn extra calories, watching really scary movies (which raises most people's heart rate through emotional reaction) would burn calories just like going for a walk. Sadly, it doesn't.

    This is my preferred way of exercise and alcohol - be in holiday resort on tropical island, swim up to swim up bar, order fancy cocktail.....

    Sadly holiday only lasted a week, so little data to support long term results.

    Will have to repeat experiment next year - all in name of validating scientific data, of course ;)

    Have none of you amateurs not heard of jello shots? This sounds like a waste of money. What is with people trying to reinvent the wheel?

    Anyone up for some 151 dark cherry jello shots? Or some Everclear jello shots if you can handle them.

    Apparently, viewers at the Boston Marathon sometimes offer small cups of beer to the amateur runners, some of whom take it.

    FTR, the ones I've tried are weird. Most food things I find dislikable are about texture, and that's the issue here.

    I'll keep drinking my drinks, thanks. They go down nice and smooth that way. ;)

    You are a vegetarian and you have issues with textures? That must be rough.

    I did the New Orleans marathon a few years ago, and spectators were definitely offering beer there!
