Me too. Nothing like a nice warm cup of beer in the morning with your bacon sandwich.

I've been trying to be ultra-healthy. Since it's well known how common exercise related injuries can be I've skipped directly to the recovery stage.

A guy I work with who races bicycles in the 'Elite' class, which is basically not far short of professional and indeed includes pro riders, swears by a glass of Leffe Tripel after a race or training ride. He says it brings his HR down quickly, relaxes him and helps him sleep as well as providing lots of nutrients.

I don't know if he's right though; maybe it does no harm, maybe it really does help, but then maybe if he drank something else he could be a pro.
