I'm not advocating drinking, let alone drinking everyday, but will add my two cents here-
I drink socially 2-3 days per week, and one of those nights usually ends up being a long night, lets say 15-20 mixed drinks-
My go to is Kettle One Sugar Free Red Bull, and a close second is Kettle One and Soda-
Do I feel like shit the next day and miss workouts, yes...would I trade all of the ass I have pulled for all of the Saturday and Sunday workouts I have missed? NEVER-
If you can be in the gym 4, sometimes 5 days per week, and eat very sensibly( ZERO CARBS), you will find that you will look better than most, will be lean, and can maintain a normal, or better than normal social life-
I'm not sure how drinking will mix with gear in regards to ones liver, as that is a whole other story-
I've done the above for 15 or so years, and so far am super healthy( cholesterol, BP, BF% etc) at 48 years old-
I don't see the need to sacrifice the human experience of living life, unless you are a paid athlete and your future/career depends on it-
Besides feeling good about ones self, most guys work out to look better so they can get laid-and the above formula will accomplish that.
Cheers!
