Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern.
As per your query drinking wine or beer immediately after 15 min. of exercise is not safe as it will leads to inhibit hormone production and harm the body's recovery process. It will interfere with metabolism of carbohydrates, interfere with energy production as it will act line fat and leads to body dehydration. Well these side effects are related to amount of alcohol consumed as well. I would suggest you to wait for 90 min. and then take alcohol as it is entirely safe then. After 90 min. of exercise it will act as stress reliever and in small quantities don't give such adverse effects.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
