normally, I'll have a glass or two of red wine with dinner a few nights each week. no buzz.
Recently I left the gym after a long leg workout/20 minutes of stepper. Instead of eating, I went ahead and had two glasses of wine. I was pretty drunk, pretty fast.
So if you're looking to get wasted fast and cheap after a workout, skip the post-workout dextrose/ protein/ waxy maize and go directly for the alcohol.

Uh, No It doesn't. Every alcohol vis-a-vis health study shows that small amounts of regular alcohol is not detrimental to muscle gain. Stop. But. Humans. Will. be. Humans. :)

Moderate intake is no problem IMO. You're not gonna grow bitch tits overnight from a few glasses of wine.

I'm saying that is has an insignificant effect on you know what.
At least I'm not aware of any study proving otherwise.

i believe alcohol actually does transiently boost testosterone levels
HOWEVER!!!
it is horrible for bodybuilding. drinking it is taking three steps back, one step forward.
and no wavelength its not insignificant....
and no moderate drinking is not healthy. a few antioxidants does not make a poison healthy.

This is what Alan Aragon has to say about testosteron and alcohol:
"If you're one of those casual drinkers, don't get cocky yet: In another study, two to three beers per day was shown to lower Testosterone levels by 6.8 percent during a three-week period. (15) But even that news isn't necessarily bad. The beer also increased dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) levels by 16.5 percent. DHEAS elevation has the potential to lower cardiovascular disease risk. We can only speculate over the impact of these results, since the researchers didn't measure the effects on performance or body composition.
Another study looked at the acute effect of alcohol intoxication on post-exercise hormonal response, using trained lifters as subjects. (16) After a workout, half the subjects were given the equivalent of five drinks. The researchers then monitored all the subjects' hormone levels for the next five hours. No differences were seen in Testosterone and other related hormones in either group. Cortisol was elevated in the ethanol group, but only for a short period."
And this about health:
"Bottom line, alcohol isn't essential for good heath, and there's no reason to think it improves your performance in anything. But at the same time, moderate drinking (up to two drinks a day) might help protect your heart without having a negative effect on your quest to look good naked.
If you don't already drink, there's no reason to start. And if you drink a lot, you risk a lot. But if you're a just-right drinker — you drink enough to enjoy the benefits without ever waking up with a hangover (or, worse, with a stranger who's equally hung over) — there's no reason to quit.
Maybe the simplest advice is this: If you drink so much that it interferes with your training, you need to cut back. If the amount you drink never interferes with anything important, let's get together for a beer sometime."
