Beer

sgtneo · 01-08-2005, 10:37 AM

just been wondering that when i get my diet sorted is beer and alcohol allright to still have as i cant seem to find any where that says stop drinking alcoholic beverages, as i do enjoy a beer or two and like to keep my beer fridge well stocked up.

so is beer out of the question?

Threw that in just for ha-has.

I drink, not in excess, once in a while.

sgtneo · 01-08-2005, 10:51 AM

thats allright because i was allways told that beer has loads of calories and wasnt sure if its any good for you while working out

i only ever have the occasional fosters and have a few when i go out with m8's from time to time

Its not the carbs in beer that hurts us. Alcohol is 8 cals per g. That adds up to a lot of empty calories. Also, if youre looking into methylated gear, its obviously not a good idea. Also, alcohol drives down your test levels temporarily, which is never a good thing.

Where's the 'never' option?

And what is 'alchohul'?

QuestionGuy · 01-08-2005, 11:17 AM

When I drink I only drink beer, but I only drink 2-3 times a year 3 times if im lucky and overduing it....I love bodybuilding to much to get smached with my friends every other fucking week, I dont see the point......But I do see the point in having an awesome body tho...

Du · 01-08-2005, 11:19 AM

I only get smashed when I have to drive.

Oh yeah

gotta taste for this on holidays there a few years back.

I think unless your'e strictly cutting cals back to the nth degree for a comp or whatever a beer or 2 now and then is OK. I only say that cause I love the stuff.

When you come home from work on a hot summers day here in Oz there ain't nuthin better than reaching into the fridge and crackin' a cold one.

My dad does home brew that is liquid gold, problem is it's sooooo hard to stop at 1 or even 2 for that matter.

**CowPimp** · 01-08-2005, 09:35 PM

I drink once in a while, although I usually make it enough to get me going pretty good. I used to drink more frequently, but I have never been as much of a drinker as many of my friends.

JoeyM · 01-08-2005, 10:51 PM

Beer is the best weightgainer on the market today

I used to drink all the time, and lots of it, but when I started lifting I found that I worked too damn hard to throw it all away just for a hangover and a bad liver. So I have a beer here and there now.

sabre81 · 01-09-2005, 10:08 AM

i drink maybe once every two months or so. Have 2 beers and im done. Im always the designated driver.

I work way to hard to possibly hurt my gains.

Witmaster · 01-09-2005, 10:12 AM

In my younger days we had designated Decoys rather than Designated Drivers.

Cold Iron · 01-09-2005, 01:27 PM

I get smashed once a month or so. Like last night for instance....I aint into this social drinking crap..

that's shit is a trip. we used to that also but then again back in the early to mid 80's it was almost impossible to get a DUI...

sgtneo · 01-09-2005, 03:25 PM

im dont really care for what reason im drinking i just drink when i feel like and having to give up a cold frosty pint in a chilled glass on hot summers day after work would be terrible nothing is more refreshing.

i also walk every where so no need for designated drivers im like homing pigeon allways find my way home but usually kip for a few hours on park bench lol

I've only had alcohol twice...on my 21st birthday I had two shots and freaked out because of stress related hormones I perceived were overwhelming my physiology, and when I was 19 when I drank a wine cooler I mistook for a fruit drink.

Duncans Donuts · 01-09-2005, 03:32 PM

I'm a big nerd

Cold Iron · 01-09-2005, 03:34 PM

DD- Are you one of those guys that always has to feel "in control"? or does it have to due with being diabetic? or both?

Duncans Donuts · 01-09-2005, 03:39 PM

Well I wasn't into the party scene in high school and as soon as I got out I focused on training. Also as a diabetic I'd been scared out of experimenting with alcohol as I still have little if any idea what it's influence on me will be.

I'm also really busy and usually just go shoot pool or bowl with a diet coke when I need to relax

sgtneo · 01-09-2005, 03:42 PM

every one has their own ways of winding down some like to wind down to a beer other to coke and some to spliff and cigs. a couple of my m8's who come out with me dont drink down to them dont make them any different a person and definatly not a nerd. the person who can allways say no is stronger than most peeps. i myself have never smoked or done drugs etc

Spitfire · 01-09-2005, 03:44 PM

Get drunk, Life's to short not to drink beer, Oh smoke a joint too, you will thank me when your 85, on you death bed and have no regrets

Duncans Donuts · 01-09-2005, 03:57 PM

Boy, if your biggest regret in life is not drinking fermented beverages, you've lived a shitty life

Spitfire · 01-09-2005, 04:05 PM

well no, I wont have that regret, you see
nor will I have the regret of living my life in the gym.
I plan on having no regrets on my death bed, like I said life is to short.
