Exercise causes sweating, which deprives the body of vital fluids.
Dehydration can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness and heat stress.
Replace sweat loss with large amounts of water, particularly if you are planning on drinking alcohol later.
Drinking alcohol before or during sport will slow your reaction times and reduce your coordination, accuracy and balance.
Alcohol dehydrates the body further therefore it is the worst choice of fluid following exercise.
Alcohol will also delay your recovery from injury.If you sustain an injury avoid alcohol for 48-72 hours, or risk sitting on the sideline for longer than necessary!
