Amen! I was actually thinking about this on the way home from work yesterday....I don't have the best job- I make 12 an hr (but im greatful to be working). 3-4 beers at a cheap bar is an hour worth of work. For that same price I can buy a head of broccoli, bulk brown rice, and a package of chicken breasts- have my meals for a couple days.....

alchohol is shit...increase body fat percentage, makes you lose a lot of LBM, decreases metabolism, encourages other bad habits like smoking ...etc, raises insulin, make you a ot weaker, switches your mind into thinking about sex and fun rather than working out or responsibilities, useful activities, training or work, shifts your sleeping pattern and ruins it by weakening your sleeping system and wakening system...

I say one beer is too many and twenty ain't enough. I only drink 2 or 3 times a month, but when i go, its easilly 12 to 15 lagers, couple shots of goose. little smoke. I'm basically crushed for two days after. The lagers are 140 calories per, Thats some tough math right there. At 51, the thing i notice is that i can still drink like when i was younger but the recovery time is tenfold now.

Yeah, I guess that's mostly my problem with it. It seems like it takes me longer and longer to recover. I'm down to where I drink maybe every couple of months as compared to where I used to drink every weekend and maybe a couple of times during the week.
I wish I could say the same i would spend alot less money on booze
Heh nice experiment, I found that I lost 40lbs in 5 months by cutting out drinking to once a week. Of course there was some exercise and diet included, but i found i sleep better at night and had more energy at the gym

Holy cow... I don't think I would be able to stand up after 3 or 4.... such a light weight.. lol
This thread has taught me one thing - Americans drink piss-poor beer and alcohol.
No decent micro-brews? No fine European beers? No aged whiskey?
Bah! If you're going to drink, drink well, and enjoy it!

Hello,
Alcohol is fine in moderation, but too much is counter-productive,news flash right?
Even for those who keep it to once a weekend or two, the sheer number of calories is incredible -- and we're talking nutritionally-devoid calories. One can of beer has approximately 150 calories, so someone who drinks 11 beers in one night will gain 100 calories shy of half a pound of fat! And, for those who are more regular partiers and will drink upwards of 15 beers in one night or more, well you can imagine.
Regards,
Ali.

When I quit drinking I gain weight for some reason.

There is evidence as well that alcohol has a max. decrease in testosterone for 12 hours but remains lowered for 24 hours. so I would figure that a work out someone just had that day would be going to waste right?

I like alcohol and will admit it got to a point where it was controlling my life. Didn't really get all out drunk, but 'buzzed' for sure. I recently got that under control, and while I still have some wine, and nights of drinking, pretty much have stopped.
My observations in my experience is that alcohol is so nutritionally bad because it robs your body of nutrients, dehydrates you, and can cause you to eat less to make room for the alcohol, or on the otherhand makes you uninhibited and you make poor food choices.
I recently went on a CKD diet where I had to quit alcohol consumption. Before I did so, I checked a typical few days of macros on Fitday. OMG, it was pathetic, a real eye opener. Low protein, high saturated fat, high processed carbs, super high sodium, very low fiber, and of course way too much alcohol.... On the CKD diet, that is all turned around. I am dropping fat, increased lean mass, and while dropping 12 lbs thus far, my strength has actually gone UP... Never had that happen before. In my case, I believe it was because I was so nutritionally in the hole, and once I cleaned things up my body is now absorbing nutrients.... and thanking me for it.

Lowers Testosterone
Knowing that alcohol lowers testosterone and raises estrogen keeps me away from the booze. I need all the T I can get!

bad effects of alcohol
dangers of alcohol according to research that had been done:
* increased risks of cancer- particularly at the mouth, liver, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, breast and bowel cancers.
* even though some people say that small amounts of alcohol may protect the heart, how many people actually understand the definition of ???small???? With alcohol, most people will overindulge, to the point of addiction- and that brings far greater harm, doesn???t it?
* alcohol is high in calories and offer little, if any nutritional benefit. It???s like drinking sweetened water- just with 7 kcal per gram. It???s very easy to gain weight through drinking alcohol- they don???t call ???beer belly??? for nothing

So, if you are seriously trying to lose weight you should NOT drink any alcohol what so ever?....I love to drink 12-18 beers at least once a week with friends...so that is probably a huge issue then?

My New Years resolution is to cut back on drinking.The thing when it comes to drinking obviously is that it's useless calories but many people eat like shit when they drink. As far as my drinking goes I usually buy a tall boy and zip on it if I'm at a party or if your at a social event just keep your self busy talk to people instead of sittin around an drinking yourself half retarded.
