Default The Effects of Alcohol on Training
I think the most common question that I get is, "will drinking too much hurt my results", and I usually want to yell at the person who asks this question, because they already know the answer. OF COURSE! Honestly, anything in excess, is not good.

If you drink moderately, no more than 2-3 drinks per week, you should be OK, but if you are a heavy drinker, you will never improve your physique. Understand that alcohol is poisonous to the body - it's a toxin.



Prolonged usage at high doses will:
  • reduce your strength - you won't be able to lift enough weight to stimulate muscle growth
  • reduce your endurance
  • decrease your recovery capabilities - it will take you longer to recuperate and you will be much more sore after workouts
  • decrease your aerobic capacity
  • reduce your ability to metabolize fat - you will become a fat "storer" instead of a fat "burner"
  • interfere with muscle growth
  • acts as a diuretic, which can rebound and lead to elevated water retention

Remember, alcohol is a totally nutritionless carbohydrate. (Even though it's a carb, it has 7 calories per gram instead of the normal 4). Like most carbs, it causes the release of insulin, which will cause the storage of your alcohol calories as fat. The constant insulin release will also make it very difficult to lose fat since your body has ample glycogen from the alcohol.

The single best thing I ever did was to quit drinking. I lost 30lbs in 3 months went from 25%bf to 12%bf. I've busted my ass the last two years putting 35lbs back on and staying at ~14%bf. Looking back I've wasted a lot of money and a shitload of years I'll never get back while I was at best spinning my wheels, drinking and lifting.

I used to drink quite a bit, no more than the average American, which is prolly too much.

Now and for the past couple of years I drink 2-3 drinks every 3-4 months, usually on the same day, so I only fuck up one or two training days instead of 3 or more. I had 2 beers at a holiday party last week, and I hadn't had a drink before that since, oh, about September. I never thought I would be "that guy" but my training is more serious to me than a beer, even though I like beer.
