Run a mile or drink a beer?

Study shows moderate drinking has the same effect on coronary health as exercise ... unfortunately only in those over 45+

I should be the healthiest person on the planet. Oh wait, moderate drinking. That's no fun.

I've been watching Headline News pretty much all day and I tend to think it's more wine-specific than all alcohols. The maltose in beer (the worse type of sugar your body could possibly consume, although that doesn't stop me from downing a beer every once in awhile ) will likely offset any of the positive effects of drinking the alcohol.

I'm convinced. When I get home tonight, I will sit and watch TV and have a beer.

Got to help my arteries.

Talk about a no-brainer...

[Drizzle]

Maybe chug a beer while running a mile??

[jdoggivjc]

May need to get one of those "beer runs" going, where the more beer you drink the more time you get knocked off your mile

[isucyfan]

You might as well have asked if you would rather drink a beer or have a hot poker shoved up your...nose.

[rbrook]

6 mile run, 6-pack of beer. Get to stay put?

This made me laugh!

My stand is that they both may be good for your heart, but the alcohol certainly won't help your physique.
