Post by: tonymctones on December 20, 2009, 05:52:55 PM: never have but me a a couple buddies are going to do a little body fat loss competition after the national title game and I am planning on cutting it almost completely out. I will still probably have a little bit every now and again but nothing like I do now. Im not looking forward to it to be honest but I am looking forward to leaning out pretty good.

Post by: JasonH on December 22, 2009, 01:49:04 AM: I'm not that keen on the taste of beer - if I'm going to have a drink I tend to prefer spirits like rum, whisky and brandy.

It's all about moderation. For me it's not having a few beers - it's the snacks that tend to go with the beer. :-\

Post by: DylanPG on December 24, 2009, 10:15:33 AM: I find myself asking this question a lot, and ideally yes I would like to give up drinking, but in the end I don't make any money off of training and getting drunk and hooking up with random girls is a lot more fun than having my chest grow that extra 1/2 inch.

Post by: MM2K on January 30, 2010, 11:17:30 AM: If you want some good inspiration for giving up alcohol, go look at somebody who has advanced cerosis of the liver. You will have very few drinks for the rest of your life. It aint pretty guys.
