When my daughter was on University of California Crew team, their research found the best recovery drink was chocolate milk, and the best energy bar was a Snickers. I was at Mammoth Mountain for a week of motocross practice before the race. One day my friends and I had some beers after a hot day of practice. Soon after I was really sick and dizzy. My friend's wife gave me a glass of water with salt in it, and I was almost instantly better. I must have been very dehydrated.
