Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

New research out of the University of Miami suggests alcohol consumption may be linked with at least one healthy behavior -- those who reported drinking more alcohol were also more likely to report exercising regularly. "The link, whatever it is, remains somewhat of a mystery," said lead author Michael French.

Do 40 oz. curls count?

LOL

Apparently it does Ness.

I think that's the excersize they're talking about.

I don't know many people who go workout with a hangover.

My right arm is in decent shape.

Your wife has removed that task from my calendar.

Glass to mouth, glass to mouth, glass to mouth. Exercises, exercises. Works just like pressing weights.

I guess you never have worked around heavy construction. Many of thoes guys are in the bar every night.

I think this study is right, Ted Kennedy exercised his mouth a lot.

Nothing cures hangovers like a good workout or a hard day's work in the yard.

So sayeth Taxman

With enough alcohol in you you are willing give even the ugliest hag a workout.

I run about 15 miles a week - or more if I'm in a race - and do pushups and situps every day. As much as I love running (and can do about a 7:30 mile), I'd say at least part of the reason I run is because I do love the drinkski, and I maybe there's a little guilt in me that wants to balance the yin and the yang. Last week my doctor said I'm in excellent health for a middle-age guy.

My dad, who's 75, runs 3 or 4 times a week as well - and has been for 30 or 40 years. He also swims several times a week and plays golf. He also loves wine and beer. His buddies (the ones still living) like drinking too, but none of 'em exercise. They were always telling Dad he was going to kill himself with all that running. But now he's as fit, trim and pain-free as you can be at 75, upbeat and sharp, and they're all fat and gimpy and creaky, waddling along on a half-dozen medications and telling the world to kiss their ass. They've stopped joking about my dad's exercise.

Guilt is probably the main factor. Abstainers think of themselves as more heathly.


In my twenties I met a childhood friend I had not seen in many years. He was working weights in his garage and was so buff it was almost freakish.... but it kind of went with the big red beard and earrings he had acquired while in the Merchant Marines.

When I asked him about it, he said that his liver was so bad from drinking dry every port he came to that his doctor told him he had to stop or it would kill him.

So, he said, I exercise this way so I can keep on drinking.

Amazing.

Great story, Corky. By the way, did he give you your nickname? ;-)

#15 - Jeez, Cork, just kidding.

Corks, wine bottles, your friend has his mind on drinking.... oh, never mind...

CBYOB

I used to run a lot when I drank. Run from the cops, run home before anyone know's I'm gone, run to the ATM machine to pay my tab...

Beer belly

No beer belly.

Who needs to work out?

Makes sense. The nightclub/party crowd is the drinker crowd but they also work out all the time so they can look good in sexy club gear.

This reminds me of saturday night...was at my buds cabin...had our token staggerer there...who knew a 100 meter walk to the dock could be 2 km long...staggering rox for exercise!!!

How did you get your handle, CuntBob?

It's in an expensive picture-frame and I would defend it more ferociously than if an intruder threatened my wife and/or kids!


It's prolly on the mantle right next to Taddy's Depends and Johnson's inhaler.

You guys are funny!


There's also an old rusty trombone and Murphy's Missing Panties next to the Cadenhead Thong Collection.


you have to earn those beers!!

I guess you never have worked around heavy construction. Many of thoes guys are in the bar every night.

While my job isn't really 'heavy' construction, (building and installing cabinets,) I get awful THIRSTY after my 10 hour day,(guzzle some beer.) Usually on the job site somebody has a cooler full of ice cold beer and its sometimes me.


My right arm is in decent shape.

This is really weird. It doesn't make sense, but here's to all the people who drink and go lift weights.

My right arm is in decent shape.

So's my left nut. Speaking of which....Hi Jerry.

Just got back from 9 holes of golf and its pop a top again, I think I'll have one more round, set 'em up my friend...

I can't lift a rake until 3pm after I've had two double hi-balls. After that, I go to town in the garden. Of course, I'm in pain the next day. But I just have a couple more and get on with my work.

Is that exercise? Feels like it to me.

Corky - Still trying to figure out why you got so pissy with me about a lame joke. Any insights? Because really, I wasn't giving you shit.

cbob -- corky is very thin skinned. There are a couple of times I've asked him an honest question in civil manner and he comes back and tells me to quit stalking him.

He needs to get some thicker skin and lose the paranoia.

Wow, an obvious 2 dumps for Corky on this thread.

Well, if he was R.O.C., that is.

Someone call the Waaahhhm-bulance for Chairpoodle.
