Just recently I started drinking with work people at happy hour--mostly to help advance my career and not offend coworkers. I have a beer or two then go for an 8-12 mile run over an hour later. I have a pretty strong stomach and can power through any little problems. Are there any adverse effects from this?
If you don't drink, don't answer.
never been an issue for me if it's just a beer or two. i have messed up after a "few more" and running way too fast on a treadmill and screwing up my hamstring.
There is a "movement" going around where people are drinking a beer or two before running to improve their performance. Others have even gone far enough to create a beermosa with beer and OJ before they run. Not my cup of tea (no pun intended) but if it works go for it.
Just go easy on the food. Worst run ever was a few hrs after having a couple beers with lunch one day. Verp!
