I see that Geek is sippin' scotch and everyone else is drinking da wine and da beer. :drink: Me too.
But, I'm wondering, does alcohol increase or exacerbate inflammation?

Well, Golllleeee, Fortress, that is the most sound science I have heard about drinking rum and inflammation. Maybe this is why my shoulder isn't bothering me now that I am starting from ground zero on my training toward a very long ocean swim. I haven't heard of this, but I sure do like your answer.
And Poolrat, maybe there are actually electrolyes in our drinks after all. Wouldn't that go against all protocol.
Of course, we know that there are people probably cringing at our talking about our drinking and being swimmers, but hey, one can't argue with success.
