I like a tall size Guinness.

Besides the impairment factor of alcohol, another effect martial artist and anyone planning to do intense physical activity should be concerned about is dehydration.

Alcohol can cause excessive loss of moisture which combined with physical effort can increase the chances of overheating, especially in the warmer times of year. If inebriation is not reason enough to avoid drinking before training, the risk of heat stroke and dehydration should be considered because anyone can be affected and even mild cases require immediate medical treatment. At worst a stay in the hospital and no training for a long time.
