Beer Muscles?

I notice when i drink beer (heineken) during a workout, I feel more pumped
and feel like i can lift more.

Thats because we have a surplus of oxymetholone, and dump that in the beer
we export to other countries.

Seriously, when i drink a lot, the veins on my hands and upper arm get
freakish sometimes.
I have no idea what kinda mechanism is involved.

Is this an 'ok' practice to help with building muscles, or does it not
really help at all since alcohol dehydrates the body?

There is a theory that says that a "pump" can help a muscle to hypertrophy.
I am not sure if this involves protein synthesis. Perhaps its an increase in
the ability to store more glycocen.

Maybe i can just drink more water to counter-act the dehydrating factor?

I cant imagine that 4-5% can actually dehydrate the body. The other 95% is
water after all.
Beer contains minerals/trace elements, i believe. A lot of bodybuilders
like to drink wine after intense workouts, to help get the heartbeat slow
down a bit, so you can relax and sleep better.

Hmm, beers during workout would prolly not be allowed at my gym.

You work out in a church-owned rec center of some sort?
