The questionnaire is part of a nation-wide survey of college athletes concerning the stimuli of various beverages.

Among the questions asked to discover which drinks give the most aid for digestion and which have the greatest superiority over fatigue were: How is tea rated in comparison with milk, coffee and beer? What kinds of drinks were served during games and practice of the team?
