few little facts i saw!

Drinking alcohol will:

* increase your risk of dehydration as alcohol has a diuretic effect, in other words it increases urine output
* give you problems with body heat regulation - particularly important for endurance athletes
* reduce your blood sugar levels so your energy levels are lowered; this can be a problem with longer periods of exercise
* reduce your endurance, strength and speed
* increase your risk of injury
