Why Whisky is not a good training drink

I have some friends who are would be whisky aficionados. It makes for a good night but not a good morning. After "sampling" one too many varieties on Saturday night I realized on Sunday morning that there are some fairly good reasons to avoid learning the about whisky during pre-season training.

1) Each shot has 200 to 220 calories
2) Five shots are enough calories to equal 1/2 lb
3) Usually shots are followed by or preceeded by beer
4) Beer also has calories last time I checked
5) Beer and whisky make me hungry
6) Food craved with alcohol usually d0es not include raw veggies, fruit, or low fat anything
7) Food has colories
8) Whisky makes my head hurt in the moring
9) Training rides aren't fun with a hurting head
10) Pounding headaches aren't enough activity to burn any calories

In the end lots of calories and fat followed by a headache followed by a nonexistant training ride tends to hammper training. This is a difficult but important point to grasp.
