Stay Hydrated
The biggest enemy of any marathon, running or beer, is the lack of hydration; and to combat this first hurdle, Alex will be drinking nothing but Pedialyte for the next 3 days to make sure that he has plenty of electrolytes for the big event.
Of course, he'll also need that hydration for the grueling downtown walking schedule between bars that cross the whole spectrum of downtown, from the Bonaventure Brewing Company on the 4th floor of the Westin on Figueroa (serving a BBC Black IPA) to Little Tokyo favorites like Oiwake (serving delicious Japanese malt-only Yebisu). You can check out this whole map of bars and the beers they're serving, helpfully made by Alex's friend and Beerathon teammate Jay,
right here.
While people who see Alex downing bottles of Pedialyte may think he's suffering from chronic diarrhea, he's going to set his ego aside in pursuit of the bigger item at risk: online fame for completing the L.A. Beerathon.
