Alchohol and Dehydration

[Guest guest]

How many men have we got in this country who sit or lie on the couch

for hours each weekend, watching sports and drinking beer after beer

after beer? Back when I lived in New Jersey, I knew guys who had no

problem putting away 4 six-packs---or 2.25 gallons---of beer in one

afternoon. I knew other guys who were on unemployment, and who daily

put away a large volume of beer. Those men were seriously bloated.

They looked like they'd been pumped up with air. Here's a quote from

a site I found when I did a search under " beer dehydration " ---

 

If your life's balance includes social drinking,

however, you should drink an equal amount of water for each beer or

two glasses of water for each glass of wine. "

 

I was unable to find out why those men I knew who were seriously over-

ingesting beer were so bloated. I am assuming it was some kind

of " cellular dehydration compensation factor " ...?

 

I knew another fellow in New Jersey who drank beer heavily, and one

day, when he was only in his early thirties, his kidneys shut down,

and he was on dialysis for the rest of his life.

 

Coffee, tea, milk, coke, beer, wine or (purified)water? The choice is

clear. Hey wotta slogan! Wot an advertisment! Frank, want to go into

the water-selling business?

 

Actually, I am working on a fool-proof process for making and selling

dehydrated water....great for taking along while jogging, or on

camping trips!

 

Best wishes,
