Thanks - UH
It actually was a serious question

- I just watched Free Solo - a guy focused on a extremely technical sport. Doesn't drink.
I also have been around several people with Olympic medals - it varies but most only drink at the very end of the competition season - for the reasons of better rest/recovery, focus and no desire to relax.
I have seen a few Kawa interviews and heard him say "If I see a competitor go for a beer, I know I can beat them" - I believe he thought it was more physiological.
I just thought it was an interesting topic and given that many Contest pilots read this - thought there may be data/information on the subject.
