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?

'Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.' - Arnold, 1975

Threw that in just for ha-has.

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

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.

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.



What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
