I don't know, a beer taste awfully good down here in the deep south in the
summer. Nothing seems to replace depleted electrolytes the way a few cold
ones do at the end of the day. Someone told me that it was the amount of
sodium and potassium in beer. I don't know I've never bothered to read the
label.

PS I don't think I would drink one at a vet check. Some body else's crew
offered me one at the 90 mile check in a 100 one time. I think they wanted
me to fall off in the woods in the dark since their ride was behind me:-).
