Lifting and Drinking

Ok, so I went lifting yesterday(leg day) and went out and got hammered last night. My question is whether or not this effects your gains? I'm guessing drinking can't be at all positive.



Can't even remember the last time I was in the gym. I suck at life.

Ok, so I went lifting yesterday(leg day) and went out and smoked crack and dropped acid last night. My question is whether or not this effects your gains? I'm guessing drinking can't be at all positive.

At least crack and acid don't have 8 calories per gram.

do a search. it has been discussed here many times. alcohol and training don't mix. Obviously people like to drink and have a well rounded life so you have to find moderation in it if you want to live a healthy life and make gains from your hard training. Me personally...I just gave it up all together...but I am a bit extreme.

Look up Antidiuretic Hormone (Vasopressin) then you will understand how evil alcohol is.

I can't remember all the negative effects of alcohol, but I do recall that it decreases protein synthesis.

Neverless does a hangover make you not want to workout the next day. I'm always weaker if I tie one on and have to workout the next day.

Glad I only drink 6 days a week. I seemingly looked in the mirror and saw foremanrules in it.

Easy to do with steroids.....just think how much better and healthier you would have been if you didn't drink.

Maybe you would've been bigger and stronger if you didn't, or you would have been leaner at the same weight? That doesn't really prove much of anything...

That doesn't even make sense. All he was saying is: the fact you were drinking while making those gains doesn't mean it didn't affect you.

Agreed. I just don't drink anymore; isn't worth it.
