I had a beer last night.

I'm cutting (6 weeks now. I'm at 9% bf). I broke down. Do you all think that 1 beer is about as bad as a slice of pizza. What are the long term ramifications of this breakdown?

Also, I saw spring breakers with great abs/cut drinking pitchers of beer for 7 days, and they left looking cut... (bad food too and no working out!). How?

I wouldn't stress yourself over 1 beer. The most damage you did was stop fat loss for a few hours. Big deal. Don't worry about it your fine.

you wont loose your cutness for one da of binging, also i was way cut in college and i ate like crap and drank all the time but i was so active, i was one of the ones that actually lost weight in college, your metabolism is also roaring too when your younger

Alcohol is more than simply a bad source of empty calories....those are easily burned off in an active individual, especially if they have a good metabolism.

as i think jodi was alluding to, the alcohol actually has a hormonal impact that can lower test levels and turn off fat metabolism for a while.....prolonged drinking may lead to a constant elevation of cortisol and a depression of test...add to that the calories of alcohol and you see why men get the beer gut.

drinking on spring break in the sun for a week isnt a big deal...you have to have some fun...the truth is that between the sun and the extreme dehydrating diuretic effect alcohol has on the body, abs may look even better a few hours into drinking...it inhibits ADH which makes you actually pee out more fluid than you take in.

do it for too long though and like i said before it will catch up to you.


but you and your one beer....dont give it a second thought....enjoy.

So what kind of beer what is? Please don't say Bud or Bud Light.

I had a Harpoon Irish Red myself last night. It is quite the tasty brewsky.

Have you tried absinthe ? I tasted in Rio once but it was not the original green fairy
