A startlingly effective pre- and post-workout drink: Nonalcoholic beer

Is there nonalcoholic beer in the US (almost not kidding)?

Yes, whole foods has a good selection in the California stores I’ve visited. The days of bad tasting non-alcoholic beers like O’Douls are behind us thankfully.

tl;dr: "nonalcoholic beer provides water, polyphenols and carbohydrates (which together) aid metabolic recovery"

Polyphenols are a broad class that includes lignans, tannins, flavonoids, and stilbenes; I usually hear about the stilbene resveratrol in "alcohol is good for you, actually" contexts. They're also in wine, and in both wine and beer can be dependent on variety and origin.[1]

Any new consensus on chocolate milk? This was the post-lift craze a few years back.
