      Actually I’d argue most of them might do, as beer or cider (&other <5% drinks) might be a majority volume of things drank.

      Perhaps. I wouldn’t put money on it.

      Not that theyre best for hydrating, but you wouldn’t die of thirst with beer. The diuretic effect is nowhere near the same as with 50% alcohol. It wouldn’t be good for you in the long run but you’d survive.

      Also there was a study showing that 1beer then water hydration was more efficient at hydration than just plain water. But that’s only one beer.

        they don’t hydrate precisely because they make you piss them out, when you kidneys detect the alcohol they go extra turbo mode and filtrate more than usual which consumes all the water that you got from drinking the beer
