    you'll be fine. If you aren't a chronic alcoholic and don't get hammered every weekend the occasional indulgence won't hurt unless you are competing or have the super strict mindset to get as big as humanly possible before you die. Just take some precautions, get sufficient water in before bed as well as quality food so you don't feel like shit in the morning and if need be schedule an off day after. It's your birthday, have fun. I barely ever get hangovers on test, but I don't just drink black and out wake up somewhere. lol

    manage to your macros

    alcohol is 7 calories per gram of carb

    plus all the sugary shit they put in there

    plus people cheat on their diet when drinking

    plus you will be less likely to even go to the gym the next day



    there is nothing stopping you from going out, and you should. Maybe you should be the designated driver, and just drink tonic water with a lemon twist.

    unless you can't resist the temptation of alcohol?

    and if you can't resist, then it sounds like maybe you could have a drinking problem?

    Hey TR don't mean to bust your balls but tonic water has sugar added in order to counteract the bitter taste of quinine. Unless drinking a gin and tonic club soda is a better zero calorie choice then tonic.

    yep. should have said club soda

    thanks for the catch.

    (my point was to avoid alcohol.)

    ((actually, I drink the diet tonic water, come to think of it))

    I concur TR.

    Happy Bday OP, have a fun night! I made the mistake of drinking on cycle once and found it difficult to stay hydrated. It screwed me up for 2 days.

    I equate it with eating doughnuts while trying to diet/cut. Not tragic, but certainly counterproductive.

    I would say it's in it's own category at the absolute bottom below donuts for me. I can burn off a desert, but a 3 day hangover ruins the week for me.

    The problem with me with alcohol is that the buzz you get from alcohol interferes with the same reward areas of the brain that gives you the mental rewards from exercise. So when you hit the gym the day afterwards, for me at least, it's just not the same...it's not as rewarding and I don't feel near as good as when I'm clean. I have lots of friends who drink and that's fine. I would probably do it if it wouldn't destroy my next day motivation, but it does, so I don't.

    I hope sooner than later. That doesn't work to well for those of us who are at work and co workers/female can see over our shoulders.

    I think it all depends on your job. Most of my jobs in the past I would agree but my present job is to MONITOR, not do anything unless something breaks so I'm basically paid to surf, chat and ???
