German Olympians are Drinking Beer Instead of Gatorade

Posted by on in ,

Germans love beer so much that the country’s Olympians are drinking non-alcoholic beer instead of Gatorade and it isn’t just a few crazy Germans.

The doctor for Germany’s Olympic ski team says just about all of the athletes under his care drink non-alcoholic beer during training and the German brewery Krombacher sent a whopping 3,500 liters of non-alcoholic beer to the Olympic Village for the 153 members of Team Germany.  That’s just under 925 gallons.

Of course they aren’t only drinking the non-alcoholic stuff.  Krombacher also sent 11,000 liters of ALCOHOLIC beer, which is nearly 3,000 gallons.
