Beer after sport ‘is good for the body’

Posted by Bob Skilnik on November 6, 2007

Well, first it was beer helping build muscle tone. Now it’s good for fluid retention.                                                              beckerbeerbroad.jpg

Prof Garzon asked a group of students to do strenuous exercise in temperatures of around 40ºC (104ºF). Half were given a pint of beer, while the others received the same volume of water.

Prof Garzon, who announced the results at a press conference in Granada beneath a banner declaring “Beer, Sport, Health”, said the hydration effect in those who drank beer was “slightly better”.

“[Professor Manuel Garzon, of Granada's medical faculty] believes the carbon dioxide in beer helps quench the thirst more quickly, while beer’s carbohydrates replace calories lost during physical exertion.

“Based on the studies, the researchers have recommended moderate consumption of beer - 500 ml a day for men or 250 ml for women - as part of an athlete’s diet.”

Juan Antonio Corbalan, a cardiologist who worked formerly with Real Madrid football players and Spain’s national basketball team, said beer had the perfect profile for re-hydration after sport.

He added that he had long recommended barley drinks to professional sportsmen after exercise.

Now no ones’ suggesting slamming down a cold sixer after running a marathon (Moderation, Not Deprivation!), but ole Prof Garzon is not without support.

“If you are dehydrated to start with following exercise, a beer, as opposed to a spirit, probably does not have a high enough concentration of alcohol to induce a diuretic effect,” says Dr James Betts, an expert on nutrition and metabolism at Bath University.

Gotta love them Brits and whoever that pretty young thing is to the right!

Miller Brewing Continues Sponsorship of San Fran Street Fair That Portrays Christ and Disciples as Half-Naked Homosexual Sadomasochists

Posted by Bob Skilnik on September 26, 2007

folosomlastsupper.jpgOrganizers of San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair — sponsored by Miller Brewing Co. – have portrayed Christ and his disciples as half-naked homosexual sadomasochists in the event’s promotional advertisement, and the conservative group Concerned Women for America is complaining about the hypocrisy of it.

“The bread and wine representing Christ’s broken body and lifegiving blood are replaced with sadomasochistic sex toys in this twisted version of Da Vinci’s The Last Supper,” CWA said on its Web site.

“‘Gay’ activists disingenuously call Christians ‘haters’ and ‘homophobes’ for honoring the Bible, but then lash out in this hateful manner toward the very people they accuse,” said said Matt Barber, CWA’s policy director for cultural issues.

“In their version of The Last Supper, Christ, Who gave His life for our sins, is despicably replaced by sin itself as the object of worship.”

CWA is calling on California politicians — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sens. Feinstein and Boxer among them — to “publicly condemn this unprovoked attack against Christ and His followers.

“We further challenge the media to cover this affront to Christianity with the same vigor as recent stories about cartoon depictions of Mohammed and other items offensive to the Muslim community,” CWA said.

The Folsom Street Fair describes itself as “the world’s largest leather event.”

“We hope to see the fairgrounds filled with people in their most outrageous leather/rubber/fetish attire enjoying the worlds largest and best loved Leather fair,” the Web site says.

Concerned Women for America called it “shocking and offensive” that California taxpayers are forced to foot part of the bill for the Folsom Street Fair. The City of San Francisco sanctions the event by shutting down several city blocks and providing police for security.

The Folsom Street Fair Web site says young people are welcome: “While we don’t have any age restrictions at the gates we do inform attendees of the adult oriented nature of our events.” The fair organizers say beer and liquor age restrictions are strictly enforced.

********************

After someone from Miller pulled their head out of the ass, Miller has asked to have its log removed from the advertising poster for the “event.” So far, however, Miller has NOT pulled its sponsorship of this freak show. 

While Miller’s full-page ad in the program has supposedly been pulled, Peter Sprigg, vice president for policy at the conservative Family Research Council (FRC) stated he was startled at “the mainstream sponsorship this event has. It wouldn’t surprise me for the Folsom Street Fair to do something like this, but for it to be sponsored by people like Miller Beer is really shocking.”

Catholic League President Bill Donohue said in a news release that his organization had contacted Miller Brewing, and “we expect that they will cooperate and do what is ethically right” by withdrawing its sponsorship of the event.

“The ad, like the event, is morally depraved,” he stated. “Indeed, it is the kind of ad that only the enemies of Christians would entertain.”

From The Miller Site: “Statement Regarding Folsom Street Fair

While Miller has supported the Folsom Street Fair for several years, we take exception to the poster the organizing committee developed this year. We understand some individuals may find the imagery offensive and we have asked the organizers to remove our logo from the poster effective immediately. “

They continue, however, to sponsor this event.

Beer Nutritional Labeling At Least 3 Years Away

Posted by Bob Skilnik on July 31, 2007

fatmansitting.gifWhile Google and Yahoo Alerts are trumpheting that the Department of Treasury is considering a new rule that would require companies to put alcoholic content, serving sizes and nutritional information on all alcoholic drink containers, take a deep breath and regroup. After you cut through all the hyperbole, the fact remains that even if Treasury via the Alcohol, Tobacco, Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) decides to give this a “GO,” it will be at least 3 years  before anything will happen.

Makes for great headlines, that’s all. In the meantime, why wait another 3 years for nutritional info on your favorite beer?

Make Your Own Chelada Pops Video

Posted by Bob Skilnik on June 28, 2007

You might recall an earlier post about the Rustico Restaurant in Alexandria, VA and its problems selling beer popsicles. The Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control says the “beersicles” run afoul of rules governing the serving and pouring of beer.

I’ve also noticed an unusual amount of hits on this blog for anything pertaining to Miller’s Chelada-styled Chill beer…and that got me thinking.

So what I’ve down is taken the idea and the interest in Miller Chill and put them together for my version of a Chelada Pop.

Chelada Pops ala Bob

1 12-ounce bottle of Miller Chill
1/4 teaspoon of finely grated lime zest
Juice from one small lime
3 packets of Splenda (or 3 teaspoons of sugar) or more to taste
2-3 drops of green food coloring

Pour Miller Chill into container, add the remaining ingredients and stir. Using frozen treat containers (I found mine at the local Jewel Store in the “Seasonal” section), pour the liquid into the containers. Don’t fill to the top since the liquid will expand as it freezes. Don’t worry if you find the liquid a bit too sweet. It should be. As the Chelada Pop freezes, the sweetness will become muted and will balance out.

Put the Chelada Pops into the freezer overnight and enjoy.

Since I’m cutting back on the carbs and calories, my 4-pack of Chelada Pops comes out to 2.38 carbs and 26.5 calories each. Of course, this depends on the size of the containers you use, but hey…how can you go wrong?
