Other things to consider -
Beer is a diuretic so you will pass water as urine at a higher rate, therefore I wonder if re-hydration is as effective after beer.

If you have an injury, the alcohol in the beer will increase the bleeding, reduce oxygen flow to the injured area and inhibit recovery.

Apart from that - CHEERS!

If you drink diuretics regularly your body tends to adapt and change how much water it retains inside your cells. Therefore to counter beers diuretic qualities simply make your body used to it....DRINK MORE!!! As for the injury part, well yes, but beer numbs the pain so you won't feel yourself bleeding out and you'll die peacefully and happily in your fav pub.
