    beer diet

    something ive been pondering.

    lets say theoretically that if a person was concerned with bulking. and that person required 3500cals/day. would it be more beneficial to get a portion of those calories from achohol to reach the 3500cals or fall short. im talking like on a daily basis.

    so for example

    you consume 500 alcohol calories and 3000 quality calories

    or... you consume 3100 quality calories, but you need 3500

    could it be that ive just justified to myself why i should drink every night!

    lol in a far out way, it could make sence..
    but on the other hand, alcohol screws with your growth hormones and your testosterone ...

    sp really. youd be doing yourself out of your gains on a performance side.

    In your example you forgot one important detail, you don't just need 3500 calories you need 3500 quality calories, so the answer is no.

    could be done, sure. in terms of addition though, not in terms of bodybuilding.

    Find an alternative source of calories, even if it means eating a friend that your not all that close to. Anything other than alcohol imo.

    Hope that helps.
