Why does my husband insist on a single beer after running, golfing, or yard work?

[Anonymous]

One beer would not be enough if I were married to OP. The guy is a f@@ing hero.

Wow. I’m a woman and actually feel the same way - love a cold beer. I have swapped to non alcoholic - Athletic or Stella - because I really just love beer…alcohol I could give or take…but one beer? People saying this is some sort of cross addiction? Get outta here DCUM

Because it's good?

"refreshing" is a marketing term, but the alcohol helps dull the pain of hard work.

He says beer is fairly unenjoyable unless it's following a sweaty physical activity. Is there some science behind why a beer tastes good to him at only that time? I'm guessing it's not just him because I've seen light beer offered at 5Ks and other group runs events. Is there an alternative that would satisfy the same itch beer does after physical activities?

Wine cooler or whiskey on ice would work too.

Same, not a fan of Stella but I love a couple of the Athletic varieties. Nothing better when it's hot out.

Or question their taste. It's a simple matter of personal preference and there's nothing deep about it.

OP, you remind me of my DH. He'd interrogate me on why I like or don't like certain things. Most of the time our preferences are innate and inexplicable, or at least not explicable in a way that would satisfy the ppl who'd question it in the first place. I've gotten to a point where I'd just shut down when he gets on one of these interrogations--b/c that's what it feels like, you make your spouse feel like a freak who needs to justify their different taste.
