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?
  • I swim with a gentleman who had several beverages of Irish descent the night before SCM zones, then came out and won the 1500 the next morning and went on to have the meet of his life. beer = carboload. I am known to have a beverage mid-nationals (though I do usually go dry for a while every spring) - especially if there is a Rock Bottom around ;)

I don't think a little carbo loading will hurt anyone. I guess Muppet is the second one (after Cruise) to admit to inebriated posting. Rich better fess up too cuz I know he "hat too much sake" one night.... He, he, he. :dedhorse: :dedhorse: :banana: :banana: :dedhorse: :dedhorse: :banana: :banana:

    . Rich better fess up too cuz I know he "hat too much sake" one night.... He, he, he. Yah I was rolling that night... With amateur night ahead tomorrow, I will be hoping that the mild food poisoning has left my system. I have decided to nix training today; partly for R&R and party due to the embarassing rash that has appeared beneath my armpits, chest and around my neck...yeah slip all that blotchy man flesh into a pair of speedos and I'll have all 6 lanes to myself! :shakeshead: PS Good new about the rash is that it confirms poisoning rather than virus. I don't need my kids and Mrs JB getting sick. (Maybe I should cross ref this post to the blow chow thread?)
