Buzz Kill

Medical student and triathlete Cameron Chesnut points out the damaging effects of alcohol before, during, and after our workouts in this Inside Triathlon article. I almost grabbed a beer offered to me by the St. Louis Hashers at mile 24 of the Lewis and Clark marathon a few weeks ago (What a rebel.). It is amazing how successful the big beer companies are at using advertising to insert alcohol into the culture and very fiber of pro sports. Many of us can see how ridiculous that is, but it's the kids who are getting sucked in at a too-early age.
