Is Budweiser a performance enhancing drug?
If so, are all of Dale Earnhardt Jr's NASCAR victories tainted?

1. Budweiser? No, unless you're competing in the long distance hurl.

3. Drink a six-pack in an hour and you'll see
It will lower your 40-yard dash times. Drastically.

However...since Dale Earnhardt Jr. drives a car, I don't think I'd want to be around him if he was using Budweiser during races.

9. Didn't some snowboarder get thrown out because they called WEED a performance enhancing drug?
Robin Williams did a great sketch on it.

11. Now this beer can be performance enhancing!!
Loose Cannon Hop3 Ale


ABV: 7.25%
Malts: Crisp English Pale, Carapils, and Munich
Hops: Magnum, Centennial, Chinook, Amarillo and Palisade
Loose Cannon Hop 3 Ale - called Hop 3 (hop cubed) ale to reflect the enormous amount of hops in this beer: over 3 pounds per barrel! Also the beer is hopped 3 ways - in the kettle, in the hop back, and dry hopped. Winner of the Overall Best of Show Award in the Maryland State Governor's Cup 2005 Competition and voted the #1 IPA by Mahaffey’s Pub. We are very excited about this new product and have decided to make this beer available year round!

Good for the Redskins/Dallas games, when you just have to piss off a stars fan.

Texas has Olympia, while Baltimore has Loose Cannon!!

12. Re: beer and performance --
As old Willy Shakespeare said about booze, "It provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance".

13. It is if you consider making slobbery, incoherent late night phone calls to exes...
... a performance.

14. Yes: Bill Werbeniuk's Obituary
Bill Werbeniuk, who died in Vancouver on Monday aged 56, loomed large over the professional snooker scene during the late 1970s and early 1980s; although never ranked higher than eighth in the world, Werbeniuk's colossal girth - he was the first man to split his trousers during a televised match - and his consumption of 50 pints of lager a day made him one of snooker's most recognisable figures.

Werbeniuk's 25-stone bulk, and his intake of alcohol, became - unfairly - his most prominent characteristics in the minds of the public. But those were, by any standards, extraordinary - although not solely through adherence to the game's dissolute image. Werbeniuk suffered from an hereditary nervous disease (or so he and his doctors claimed) which caused his hands to shake. The only solution which allowed him to participate in his trade was drink.

Werbeniuk's condition, as he argued towards the end of his career, could have been stabilised under the influence of beta-blockers. Unfortunately, the only such drug recommended by his own consultant, Inderal, was banned by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association. He acquired a medical certificate which approved his beer-drinking, and became the envy of every armchair viewer when it was explained that he could offset the cost of beer against income tax.

Werbeniuk would have outclassed any amateur drinker, however. "I'd down six to eight pints of lager before I started," he said. "Then I'd have one pint a frame. Obviously, over the longer matches I'd get through quite a lot of lager but I managed to burn off alcohol very quickly." In one match, against the British player Nigel Bond, in January 1990, Werbeniuk downed 28 pints of lager and 16 whiskies over the course of 11 frames. (Bond won 10-1.) After the match, Werbeniuk went home and drank a bottle of Scotch to drown his sorrows. "I have got to think seriously if I'm going to bother playing any more," he said a day or two later. "I drank 28 pints of lager and eight double scotches during the day and was only starting to feel comfortable at the table in the final couple of frames. Now I know that I can only play if I'm totally drunk, and that's not fair on me."

16. Thankfully I have no idea what pisswater tastes like
Besides, they wouldn't be the same because it's my limited understanding that the properties of urine vary depending on what the urinator has been consuming. Budweiser tastes the same all the time.
