The Beer Challenge and Beer Facts

I see people are getting really excited about the upcoming NYC Blogger Meet. Too bad I wont be able to make it to the East Coast Beer challenge, it certainly would have been nice to meet fellow and future b-school applicants. Not to mention that I am quite the beer consumer and would have been up for the challenge. Maybe next time! So are there official contest rules and prizes for tomorrow's challenge?

Hope you guys have a blast and drink good! On that note, here are some beer facts that were circulated to me by a drinking buddy on a "friday fun email."

FACT: A lite beer has between 70 and 100 calories, is almost all water and the part that isn't water is almost pure carbohydrates.

FACT:The average diet recommends a daily calorie intake of 1,200 calories for women, 1,500 for men, if you want to lose the medically safe two to three pounds a week. That equates to 12 beverages a day for women,and 15 for men. A measurable goal.

FACT: Beer is diuretic, which causes the water to flush out almost immediately, leading to a consistent workout regimen including deep knee bends (getting out of the chair), fast walking (very good for your heart) and squats (as the case may be).

FACT: Drinking beer actually helps you sleep - even when you aren't necessarily tired. All that added rest is certain to help any problems you may have experienced in sleep deprivation, counting calories on those other fad diets. In addition, you may experience the occasional "Howdid I get here?" when you wake up, which always makes for lively conversation, and possibly additional exercise if you have to sneak out and run home.

FACT: Beer is good for your heart. After just one day of consuming your required 12-15 beers, you will certainly want to consume some aspirin, which is medically proven to help prevent heart attacks.
