Heavy drinking is not cool or manly, so tee-total runners are more than welcome to comment. My father was tee-total and I respected him greatly for it, so I feel I have no prejudices in that regard.
My serious point is that decent beer is very important to a lot of distance runners in terms of nutrition and relaxation. It's an important part of the culture in my opinion.
I'm also keen to hear what injury advice has to say,as I was worried he was about to start flogging a 12 step recovery programme to people who enjoy a pint or three after a hard race.
