Some interesting research that's right up the alley of kendo folks who love their first dojo AND their second dojo.

RATS? They tested this on RATS?! PPFFT!!
I simply refuse to accept any research result that has not been thoroughly vetted on squirrels.

Hmm, isn't it kind of normal, that if you give rats only 1 kind of drinks (which is inbred ofcourse) they'll drink that to survive?
Anyway, in my opinion it's just a matter of choosing as a human (as stated in the last part of the article)... Since you can always choose what to drink. But maybe it has to do with the “socializing and drinking after participating in organized group sports.”, so I can agree on that.

I volunteer for the human testing phase of the project...as long as I'm not in the control group.

Does exercising make you drink more alcohol?

Yes, and so does eating, breathing, working, thinking, watching T.V..... you get the idea!

I'm with you.

Beer always tastes SO much better after an exhausting practice. At least in my experience.

Exercise make you drink more alcohol... not really. But when sensei pours the 5th (10th... 20th) cup of sake, that makes me drink more.
