Stumbleupon- Tim Cigelske- beer

I was looking around stumble upon and i can across an article stating that beer is better for rehydration then water is. The scientist gave them two pints on beer after a treadmill run in 104 degree heat. Scientist believe the sugar, salt, and the carbonation in the beer helps people absorb the fluids more quickly. The carbohydrates replace the calories lost during the work out. What if you goal was to drop ten pounds should you still drink the beer after working out? You would just be wasting your time if you did. Your just replacing the calories that you just lost in the work out. What if you wanted to gain muscle should you still drink the beer after working out? I don't think beer has really been known for giving you a six pack. If this is true why are the big name athletes drinking water and gatorade and not beer. Its just hard to believe that beer is better then water for rehydration.
