The players run forward in a big rush and they dive on the ground to seek cover behind the super paint ball bunkers, summoning much adrenaline from their bodies for the strenuous game. Next, the sudden spring up from the prone position to rush again to the next super paintball bunker and obstacle; - these actions are so fast in the game, which could tire out easily an unprepared athlete. Prior top conditioning is therefore necessary, as extra exertions might complicate matters especially for adult players, unused to the powerful exertions expected of paintball players. Thus, they need the cold drinks from the marine cooler to replenish the gallons of sweat they excrete in the games.

Since the game of paintball is similar to the movements of US Army infantrymen on the assault towards an objective, and capturing that objective in the shortest time possible, the pressure on the players’ strengths is extreme and in short bursts. This is something that could leave a player very exhausted and fogged out at the end of the game. But with the cold beer that they enjoy after the game the players do not mind the ordeal.

The popularity of the coleman chest coolers to the players is understandable especially because the Thermoelectric cooler is also manned by two naughty girls from your office who trade jokes with the players intermittently, making the after game beer sessions even more interesting than the game itself. The two girls keep the group drinking lively as they have the ready replies when the boys tease them on a lot of things.

Diane, the naughtier one, even surprises the boys with her stories. One weekend, when you joined the boys in drinking cold beer, you cautioned them not to drink so much beer as this will cause them to have big stomachs incompatible with the paintball battle grounds. Some of the boys agreed, but there were some protest from the others. They say they do a lot of running anyway so the beer is just washed away in minutes.   

Diane shook every one with her declaration that indeed beer makes one to have a big stomach, because one time when she drank beer and got drunk, she got pregnant! Maybe that is not what you meant when you told the boys about lessening the beer intake. But how can you reconcile that with Diane’s comment about getting pregnant with the beer she took? Oh women! How could you?
