you got to go to either end of the spectrum, either some healthy like Gatorade, powerade water or the hair of the dog like a mild to stout beer. ;)

But you know what the funny thing is. European countries as a whole have a much lower percentage of alcohol abuse and addiction than North America as they are taught responsible drinking and supervised at an early age.

Plus, there's an element of reverse psychology involved. The kids overseas are not taught that beer is the forbidden fruit. Hence, they don't look to raid the liquor cabinet when mom and dad are out.
Back in the 80s I actually ran America's Marathon in Chicago twice, finished both times but I won't go into how long it took. (Alberto Salazar was never concerned about me catching him.) I had a couple of kidney infections during that time and the doc told me that it was because I was re-hydrating with beer. The amount of running I was doing then was dehydrating me and then the alcohol was dehydrating me even more which placed a strain on the kidneys and allowed the infection to set in. If I was going to have some after a workout now I would drink a minimum 32 oz of water first before starting on the suds. The proof is in how much pee we excrete during a beer workout.
