Wonder why they don't discuss the taste???

Ohhhh... I get it now.

Well since any alcohol is a diuretic, none would be the "ideal" recovery drink.

Drink what you like though...

Actually doesn't sound too bad if it tastes good: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/03/05/285693136/beer-as-a-post-workout-recovery-drink-not-as-crazy-as-it-sounds

"researchers like Desbrow have been experimenting with ways to reformulate beer so it'll have the properties of a sports drink without the dehydrating effects of alcohol." With only 0.5% alcohol and 77 calories this may be a good alternative. It all depends on the taste for me though.
