PS I would not advocate the consumption of alcohol while working at heights or with machinery.

Your right Shane, one should never mix drink and drugs

If Stephen Fry and the BBC researchers are to be believed, the alcohol consumers (wasn't that politely worded) among us do not need to worry. Apparently while pure alcohol does have a dehydration effect the volume of fluid in the drink more than makes up for it.

Therefore alcoholic beverages do not dehydrate you. They may cause ugly people of the opposite sex to appear attractive or lead you into deep conversation with the local constabulary or even lead to 'following morning regret' syndrome but hey ----

live and enjoy!

 

It makes you pee more so dehydrates due to loss, but agreed it dosnt stop me enjoying a glass or two

As a regular drinker for 30 years last October I almost cut it out altogether. I have been experimenting and have found even a bottle of magners makes me a happy drunk but grumpy the next day. Three bottles and it seriously knocks my energy levels the next day. I like a drink but it just does not agree with me after 3 months I felt 20 years younger and lost 2 stone.

Just water. Ive noticed that my young assistants seem to favour bottles of what i presume is bluecol antifreeze.

Hi,

 

 

 

Its not good to drink tea or coffee as they are diuretics, alcohol also dehydrates

Alcohol may work as a diuretic but that little problem can be fixed by adding ice to your favourite drink.

 

In hot weather I favour six ice cubes in my Vodka, instead of four.

 

Perfect.
