You're asking unfair questions, which I mentioned to someone else before, by asking me to prove exactly how much alcohol can have an effect on hydration levels come game day for NFL players. I couldn't possibly provide that type of extremely-detailed evidence because unfortunately the NFL likely isn't going to let me run this type of study on their players before a game day anytime soon.To be clear, my problem with your original post is not that it was aggressive nor that it was negative about my hometown hero. My problem with your original post is that it was worded very poorly and that it makes many jumps of logic.
Want to break it down?
In my opinion, alcohol consumption may be a factor in his injury history, but if it is a factor it is a really tiny factor. The fact that football is a very violent sport is probably the biggest contributor to his injury history.
You say that one or two beers over the course of a week can severely impact that athlete's hydration levels and you imply that this impact to the athlete's hydration levels based on one or two beers consumed perhaps five nights prior will be a big contributor to the athlete's propensity to become injured.
You are making like five leaps of logic here. Does the impact of one or two beers over the course of a week directly impact the hydration levels of an athlete on game day? Maybe. If so, how much does the beer consumption impact the athlete's hydration levels on game date? Further, how much of an impact will the athlete's hydration levels have on the athlete's propensity to be injured during the game?
All I can do is provide evidence of how alcohol can affect performance and recovery for athletes. Which I've done.
