Alcohol affecting physique?
« on: July 09, 2009, 12:26:10 AM »
Just read Groinks post. How much does alcohol really affect the physique? I have about 20 drinks a week. Will it really make a difference if I cut it out? Serious.

Depends on your definition of a "drink".

Beaten to death subject but yes, althought "20 drinks per week" isn't that bad but not optimal.

as long as it doesn't influence your training, the effect is probably minimal

Well my definition of a "drink" was a 16 oz glass filled with vodka (with a splash of cranberry on top just so i could say it wasn't straight vodka).... 5 or 6 percocets... and a gram of blow.

light beer = 3/4 of a drink...  

rule of thumbs, 2 drinks EO night won't affect your performance and do have some beneficial effects

Unless you're dieting, that's another story...

20 of that per week is a solid alcoholic, although i have a very straight definition and would say if you drink alcohol ed, you're an alcoholic.

never set aside the pleasures of life for just having that bit more of muscle. you will regret it later on.

Why do you think it's different on a diet?

I just want to know if the difference in my physique is worth giving up drinking and banging average looking girls while intoxicated.

2X a week.  Me and the ex would polish off a 1/2 gal bottle and a bag of goodies. once on the weekend, because that was "okay"...  and then we'd usually crack around Tues or Wednesday, that was the mutherfukker, because of work the next day

Alcoholism isn't a joke, dude.  Both of my grandad's brothers died of it.  One put a shotgun in his mouth, and the other a .357 in his temple.  Some shit shouldn't be kidded around about on here, and this is one of them.

Must be counted in, no doubt + the munchies ...
Still I wouldn't want to go without a few beers or a couple glasses of red wine when I feel like it.

Although Arnold made a lot of "sacrifices", he allways found a way to "enjoy life" to the fullest...

Definitely a man of pleasures.

I had both beer and wine in the last week of my little experiment to ultimate rippedness. Didn't effect me one bit.
Huge Austrian muscle monster approved. ;D

Next time I want to try to carb up with red wine on the last day.
