JUST NO.

"Professor Manuel Garzon, of Granada's medical faculty, made his discovery after tests on 25 students over several months. They were asked to run on a treadmill under stifling temperatures of 40C (104F) until they were close to exhaustion.Half were then given two half pints of Spanish lager to drink, while the rest were given water. Both groups were then allowed to drink as much water as they wanted. Professor Garzon said the rehydration effect in the students who were given beer was "slightly better" than among those given only water.....(blah blah) The best way of rehydrating after exercise was with a sports drink containing sugars, water and salt, he added."
