300-500ml of beer will rehydrate you faster than 300-500ml of water.
Comment on What's the Best Non-Alcoholic Alternative to an Ice Cold Beer at the End of the Day?

30 minutes of high intensity cardio and a cold shower.
The idea to drink something to wind down only works with alcohol, trying to recreate the effect with non-alcoholic drinks won’t work.

Alcohol does have an effect, as everyone will attest, but there is also an effect to arriving home, cracking open a cold drink, and relaxing for a while. It may not work for all, of course.
I have a NA beer that tastes almost identical to its alcoholic brother, and there are definitely similar results from a single beer…
The good thing with the NA version is that I sleep better and can snap myself out of the relaxed state if needed. It also makes it possible to mix & match at social events, so that I don’t over-do it.

It’s the whole ritual that makes it so special. How about a tea ceremony?

Tea would be healthier but alas, I want something cold in hot weather!

Yep. I reserve specific sodas for those occasions, for exactly this reason. I’ve trained my lizard brain i relax as soon as that exact cola opening sound hits my ears. It’s silly, but it works.
