alcoholic beverages

[Squatman51]

What would be the best choice for an alcoholic beverage.... beer, liquor, or wine?? I have heard beer and liquor are high in calories but dry wine only contains like 40 calories per 4 ounces???????????

[wolfyEVH]

none maybe!?!?!


if you're only talking like 2-3 drinks a week, it doesnt really matter......

[symatech]

red wine is good for the heart (in moderation) I'd go with that. But unless you are seriously cutting for a show or something 3 drinks of anything isn't going to hurt you really.

if talking about getting hammared like evrey once in a while then it dont matter, but if you gonna be drinking regulary i go with wine

[TR'05]

Depends on your goals, bro. If your talking a cheat day every blue moon I guess I would say Bacardi and Diet Coke...no carbs....but, IMO at least, it can't go without saying, excessive binge drinking is way too hard on your body to not negatively affect your training.

[copenhagen]

try some vodka and light cranberry juice..... one glass is all you will need

[Flex2winny]

I have a glass or two of good red wine most nights that I have fish for dinner....helps relax after a hard day of work and or training.........can't be beat and extremely good for you.......even if you are cutting.

I havent gotten ripped in many years, so nix that before you think twice.....

if/when i drink, i drink southern comfort and diet lemonade

1 glass of wine, 1 beer, or 1 shot of liquor are all healthy to consume daily. The key word here is one.
I prefer Scoth on the motherfvcking rocks when i'm out drinking. And beer when i'm out to dinner. Wine is for girls.

[305GUY]

And shots of Patron are the BOMB!

yea i was talking about getting hammered...i do so like once every 2 weeks i was just wondering what would be the best way or would it matter since its in moderation?

[Squatman51]

i just eat clean all the time so i figure this could be my cheat meal or whatever

as long as your not on cycle, go for it. persoanlly i like my drinks on the rocks to avioid any sugar or hidden calories. make sure you drink plenty of water. i would stay away from consuming a lot of beer cause that shit stacks that fat on, atleast for me it does.

Bacardi and Diet Coke...no carbs....

I know they advertise that, but zero carbs my ass

"Alcohol use is associated with low testosterone and altered levels of additional reproductive hormones."

Low testosterone, weak in the gym.

"Continued, excessive use of alcohol can damage the liver is various ways including the development of a fatty liver."


"The presence of alcohol impairs the absorption of essential nutrients because it can damage the lining of the small intestine and the stomach where most nutrients are digested. Alcohol also requires some vitamins in its metabolism, and it interferes with the absorption and storage of some specific vitamins."

I.E.: No PROTEIN synthesis

"Alcohol can impair sexual function, even though it may increase your interest in sexual activity."

Just say NO!

One bourbon, one scotch and one beer.

i agree dude - no way this is true. false advertising

Really doesn't matter too much about the carbs, that just the icing on the cake. The real killer is the alcohol.

[Flex2winny]

but a glass of wine (A GLASS) or an oz of liquor will have have ZERO effect on your training, and is probably pretty comparable to a massage for your mind......getting wasted should not be an option, but cutting or bulking, have some wine with your final meal..........

[Giantz11]

Agreed one drink is fine. It when you drink alot more that it will potentially harm body comp.

[xtinaunasty]

great...i just spent a week and a half getting wasted all day every day. damn you don julio!

now its back to the grind...
