Point taken; I think there are researchers out there still trying to prove that 2 aspirin can help relieve a headache. Research is funny that way.
However, the point of the study is germane to this community. If you are serious about your physical conditioning and mental health, you want to avoid consuming alcohol. There are a mulitude of detrimental effects that using alcohol can cause--from cardiovascular to neurological. Historically the medical community viewed alcohol with some tolerance (probably because we didn't want to know), but that is changing. Drinker beware.
On the flip side, a post work out snack containing carbohydrate and protein is likely to promote muscle recovery and development. Sure, seems like a "no-brainer," but sometimes you don't know until ya know.
Now that won't stop me from having the occasional Scotch, neat please, but it has become far more rare lately.
