Research has found that beer hydrates the body better than water. According to Science magazine, researchers at Granada University in Spain tested 25 students who ran on a treadmill at a high temperature until they were exhausted. After the workout, half the subjects drank water while the other half were given two pints of lager.The researchers found that the beer drinkers had better motor skills and ability to concentrate. The study suggests that the sugar, salt and bubbles found in beer help the body to absorb fluids.

So crack open a cold one and toast this wonderful piece of news.
