RE: http://www.military.com/military-fitness/workouts/beer-and-fitness-can-it-be
sure IF you burn off enough calories or generate enough core temperature increase ... you can eat anything ... HOWEVER Alcohol causes increased amounts of estrogen to accumulate (due to blockage of the androgen pathways) so beer is not the best choice for strong muscles! |

I don't think so. As a matter of fact,in my opinion and no doubt facts could back this statement up, the military is responsible for its personnels abuse of alcohol. Beer is your proverbial stepping stone to real alcoholic beverage drinking like scotch, whiskey etc. As a young nineteen year old who didn't drink or smoke, when I first entered the military, I can honestly say the military contributed to the difficulties I have had with alcohol. To be quite frank, I became an alcoholic. The military is very much alcohol oriented. While in the Air Force for eight years there was a beer bust for almost every event imaginable. If there wasn't one, one was created. I've been sober now, going on 14 years, but it wasn't the easiest think to stop. Eight years of military conditioning, really took its toll. No matter how the military attempts to sugar coat drinking and detract from the real deal, the bottom line is that it does more harm than good. |

Unless you are directing this article to folks overseas, I don't believe anyone under the age of 21 yrs can legally drink in this country.

To Alcohol...The Cause and Solution to All Life's Problems. Homer J. Simpson
Actually if you can control Both. You should have no problem. PT in the Morning and Dont go Too Crazy on the Brewskies after Work. The people we drank with after secure time were always did other things. Paintball, Baseball, Mountain Bikes, and Lifting Weights. Just dont blame the Beer Gut on the Beer when you really didnt exercise at all before. The Pizzadude Boston Mass. |

Training with beer isn't new. I'm 75 and when I was weight training about 55 years ago a bottle of beer every 2-3 days was recommemnded. Not recommemnded for non drinkers to start. There are a lot of nutrients in beer. Even back restraint was advised.

Why do you blame the responsibility on the military and not yourself? As an ole soldier I don't remember anyone holding me to the ground and pouring booze down my throat. I also believe now as I did when I was a 18 year old buck, if I have to fight for my country, I should have the privilege and right to drink alcohol while serving the military. I joined the military when beer was 15 cents a can and my monthly pay was $67.50, and not everyone became an alcoholic because of the cheap price. I wasn't an alcholic then and not now and I still have my usual bottle of beer or glass of red wine per day. I also believe there are too many laws in effect that takes away the rights of individual privacy. In today's society, if I don't like it, you can't have it is the attitude- and I think it is wrong in many aspects. |

If I ever decide to make light, or moderate beer consumption a regular part of my diet, this will definitely be some helpful information to refer to.

You can tell you are an alcoholic when you have an empty beer can in your shower.

I'm kind of surprised that nobody has mentioned the infamous "hashing" game. It's described as a drinking club with a running problem, but in reality, it's all about running...for beer.
I wont describe it since there's plenty of information on the web (just search for "hashing" and "beer"). I never thought exercise and beer would go together, but they really do and it's great fun. Wherever there is a group of GIs, you'll probably find a hashing club. Find one in your local area and give it a shot. |

<Link Hashing. See Lectures 13 and 14>
I spoke to the trainer who wrote the article. I thought when he mentioned 1 of his past Golden Gloves fighters now on BUD, he was referring to Budweiser? I don't live in Amsterdam which I believe still allows hashing public? While I would like to visit there I would not partake of that as it made me throw up when I just turned a teen. If your reefering to some other form of hashing please do advise me so.

I did come across these links to clarify non-technical hash/hashing.
1. <Link US Hashing?> 2. <Link Amsterdam Coffee House.> 3. <Link Amsterdam Hashing/Hash House.> 4. <Link Hash Museum in Red Light District.>

I believe in the Moderation of things in our lives. Just because you are in the Military is no acclimation to the fact, that you will drink and become an Alcoholic. It is Lifestyle that accounts for life's trends. If one orients ones self to not drinking Alcohol excessively, then in moderation with diet and exercise, one can control ones weight. It is the theory of Mind over Matter. Matter being Alcohol in this case. In my personal opinion, I have found in my lifetime, that when one becomes accustomed to a certain routine of daily living; they carry this routine with them their whole lives. If you establish a routine of moderate eating, exercising and drinking of Alcohol in your daily life, you will continue to follow this example, even when you retire. This I learned from my Military Career. You essentially become the "Drummer" (keeping the beat) of your own life style; or if you prefer, "setting the pace" whereby you live.
A lesson Learned |

That I am not, and I don't believe in their programs.
Alcohol has been defined as a drug by some doctors for years, and I know of 2 people who died from alcohol poisoning while in their teens. There were no other drugs involved with their deaths. I can't endorse hash, and if others enjoy alcohol it's their lawful privilege if of age. The only thing I can say is keep to moderation noting the above. I believe the 2 teens both drank 1 quart each of 86 proof liquor within 1 hour. I believe this is approximately equal to 11 quarts of beer or 33 12 ounce beers. This message has been edited.
