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.
-
I only drink miller lite and shots of whisky. No sugar drink crap.
-
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...

that could be a problem then if multiplied with 20 ;D

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.
-

Agreed.

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.

Agreed... I've seen guys diet and still had a glass of wine even 2 weeks out from their Speed-o-ling contests... like you said count it in...
Arnold drank Jim Bean the day of the show ;D

Nice vid. Arnold drank and smoked. True pioneer.

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.
-
Usually if I drink heavily 2-7 days in a row I'll get leaner because I don't bother eating as much.
Cleans me out too, monster dumps.
I never drink more than 7 days in a row though.
-
I drink a lot. Doesn't really affect my strength gains, but I never get any bigger.
-
Alcoholism isn't a joke, dude.
its not real either.
there are alcohol addicts, but not "people with alcoholism"
-

play on words. Alcohol is dangerous.

Getting mega-drunk = training affected for 4+ days afterwards according to Duck :-X

exactly, in a column for muscle and fitness he once said how he found it pathetic how some guys on these expos made themselves a slave of bodybuilding, walking around with big jugs of water like they were in need for it every couple of minutes.

Thats 100 % true!!!
I met a bb who didnt even had a drink on his own wedding day he wasnt even competing at the time....
now he only can wish he could turn back time.
-
You can have fun on the weekends and maintain a great physique. If you're at the point were you are unhappy because of bodybuilding it's time to rethink your life ::) Bodybuilding is suppsed to be fun, too.
-
i dont even like drinking. if i did, maybe id do it. but for now i like to smoke weed for fun and once in a while eat (10grams of) shrooms.
partys with drunk people are cool though. most people are boring and shy and conservative untill they get wasted. then they are fun, making a fool of themself, the women flirt and put out.

So did they die of suicide or Alcohol?...Confused ???

my last trip was epic. one week ago.
before the trip i had a feelin of some kind of overlying "force" on all existance, that i had attained on a previous trip when i was up on top of a mountain looking down across the valley (central valley california, small mountain next to mount diablo)....
but during this trip i actually was able to experience some cool stuff. hard to explain, but sort of spiritual/intellectual/"character" journey into what i think was space... where i was hearing the "concious" of past generations in my family...going into certain "realms" of existance... like forr example i jounreyd into a cold dark place that felt anxious depresed and scared...
anyway, as you know, these kinds of things dont translate very well at all. experiencing it is really the only way to know.
-
I don't think there's anything wrong with setting one day a week, on a Friday or Saturday evening to have a few drinks.
I stay away from the spirits and just stick to beer.
Got to enjoy life as well and have some fun!!! :)
-

You should have drank that vodka through a beer bong....it acts as a carburetor of sorts. 8)

I like to live
I love masturbation,sex with girls,wearing pink t-shirts displaying my big muscles and laughing at old ppl when they fall over steps or things

Alcohol is extremely toxic to your body. It converts IMMEDIATELY to estrogen. Its probably the worst thing you can do as far as hindering your training outside of not eating. 20 drinks a week is a drinking problem.
-
its only a problem if you want it to be a problem.
-

Dumb. 20 drinks is almost a case of beer. Drinking a case of beer a week is disgusting. I don't see the validity in the argument that someone is living life more if they are getting drunk.

Oh stop. Every college kid on the planet has 20 beers over a weekend. I'm sure all the steroids you take are much more healthy ::) Bodybuilding for recreation should be about looking good and having fun. Drinking 12 beers a weekend is not going to impact you much. I used to be crazy strict with my diet...didn't drink, all that shit. then I realized I was unhappy as fuck. I eat pretty clean and I have some beers on the weekends from time to time and there is MAYBE a 5% difference in my physique. Still train just as hard.
-
i only drink in the weekends and never get real drunk, in fact i hate getting drunk and i hate drunk people.

I don't take steroids. However I lived the college kid drinking 20-30 drinks a weekend lifestyle. I didn't end up so well. So because college kids binge drink its ok to do and has no serious health impacts? Whats with all the subjectivism on this board? Not to mention most college kids are slobs. My point is it's not harmless. Alcohol effects every single system in the body. I eat what I want and train 3 days a week and I'm happy. Would you smoke cigarettes on the weekend because kids in college do it every weekend?

You said that 20 drinks per week is a "drinking problem". If that was the case, every college kid in America should be in AA. You're missing my point, I outlined how drinking on the weekends has had a minimal impact on my physique, and I believe that if you train hard and eat pretty clean it will make less than a 5% impact on most peoples physiques. Having a 12 pack of beers over a weekend is not going to do much.
Forgive me for the steroid quip....the name BigNBloated would lead one to believe that you are on steroids.

Do you really believe that alcohol literally turns into estrogen?

If only we knew earlier. HCO2H + Everclear = testosterone.

Maybe they should. If your social life revolves around going out and getting drunk you probably should be seeing someone because it clouds out natural social interaction. People become dependant on that icebreaker, the alcohol. There's many levels of alcohol dependancy. Not every addict is a panhandler. Hence the term functional alcoholic. If i took 6 xanax to be able to go out and have a conversation you probably would see it a little differently.
BignBloated was designed to lead one to beleive that I'm somewhat of a permabulker. Not bulking really. I stay in the 15% bf range and dont do anything to get leaner. I don't deal with things that can result in felonies.
I don't think I missed your point. You sound like a responsible drinker. I agree with there being nothing wrong with some beers on the weekend. However, the person who started this thread should probably cut back.
-

Lol, I remember one time my uncle told me to make him a cup of water and I poured Everclear in the glass instead....he ended up spitting it out all over the coffee table.
-
most of the times i feel like shit after drinking, dehydrated , midly depressed, and worst , i have pimples poping on my face after 48 hours. Just for these reasons i drink like a half beer or a full one once every month . I always regret it. Not that i hate being a bit drunk, it's just that the cons in my case are quickly taking over the pros.

Wade Boggs would polish off a 12 pack on the plane in between cities from one game to another everyday...He is now in the history books as one of the best baseball hitters that ever played...Would he have been better without the booze? I doubt it...

Agree, I don't buy into the whole alcoholism is a disease way of thinking.
And yes 20 drinks a week will make you a mess. But of course most of the delusionites think their 24% bodyfat bodies are some kind of impressive, in their minds they are mass monsters. ::)

You're a joke FAG. Too bad your bisexual grandada didn't do the same. They we would have one less filthy fag that sees gay imagery in every post.
Since your grandpappy and your child molesting father who turned you into a cock craving homo didn't have the guts to end their worthless lives maybe you should do the world a favor and do the shotgun in the mouth route.

You take a drink. As the alcohol enters into digestion, it is split into two
compounds: fat and acetate. The fat is taken through the bloodstream and stored
wherever you tend to deposit fat. The acetate is taken into the bloodstream and
used as your primary energy fuel.
Acetate is used as your primary energy fuel. Hmmmmmmmmmmm....this means that rather than burning
carbohydrates, protein, or fat as a fuel, your body relies on the acetate for
energy. It completely stops burning anything else. Suddenly, you have a surplus of
carbs, protein, and fat circulating in the body with nowhere to go. So where does it
all end up? You guessed it...it's converted to fat and deposited on your waistline.
But that's not the only effect on your body. Alcohol also acts as a potent appetizer. Ever
heard of an apertif? It's an alcoholic drink taken before a meal to increase the
appetite, and many restaurants realize that this is a great way to get you to order
more food! Several studies exist that show a sharp increase in caloric intake when
an alcoholic drink is consumed before a meal (compared to a glass of water, or even
a soda!). So now you want either: A) another glass of wine or B) food (probably
something salty or greasy).
That's not all! Let's say that you succumbs to your appetite and finish the bottle.
Just a single bout of heavy drinking will vastly increase the levels of the hormone
cortisol, while significantly decreasing the levels of the hormone testosterone. In
addition to a headache, here's why you may be concerned: cortisol causes the
body to breakdown muscle and suppresses recovery from exercise, while low
testosterone makes the body less likely build lean muscle or to burn fat as a fuel. So
your getting a big belly, and skinny arms and legs.
Or maybe you already had a big belly, skinny arms and legs...
Isn't acetate used in your nail polish?

Cock lover picked a fight with me out of the blue. Never heard of him. Never read any of his posts. Did nothing to him. Perusing some of his posts there's a overwhelming common theme: gay imagery and talking tough. He's a fat (already admitted it) homo with serious issues regarding his sexuality. If you read some of his posts you wonder how such a mind could come with such perverse cock obsession. Everything is gay, gay, gay, cock, cock, cock. It's bizarre.
An ass beating will humble him but won't cure him of his preoccupation cock and man goo.
