Even though I haven't tried the "Bud System" myself I'm pretty sure I
can vouch for Bob about hydration. I've drank Coors Light after playing
ice hockey when I would have choked on a "good" beer. With such an
extremely low alcohol/high water content, I think you can get rehydrated
from such beverages instead of the normal and expected dehydrated.
Hence the nickname for such beverages as: "pisswater".
