When Detroit Pistons all-star Andre Drummond needed to lose weight, he turned to beer to get the pounds off, according to The Wall Street Journal and VinePair.

Coming into the 2019-2020 season, the 6 feet 10 inch player knew he needed to lose weight. His personal chef suggested cutting out meat but then to give something back to his body after a workout, the chef suggested Drummond have a beer.

Heading the advice, Drummond began drinking one cold beer every day with lunch during the summer months. Not being much of a beer drinker, it was a period of adjustment. “I’ve never drunk this much beer in my life,” Drummond told The Wall Street Journal. “This is not something I suggest to everyone,” he added, “[but] for my mass, it’s what works best.”

Was it the beer that took the pounds off or the exercise? The jury is still out.
