alcohol and building

[j bizzle]

whats up guys im 21 years old 6'4" and about 240 lbs. eve been lifting for about a year and a half and tried a few supplements out and i was wondering how much drinking affects my body in response to heavy lifting and occasional suppliments. i am a college student so i like to go to the bars on weekends and occasionally one weeknight. how much damage am i doing?

Depends on what occasional means, but when I was in college, I probably got trashed 2-3 times each week if not more.


This significantly hindered my gains. Since I graduated and don't drink nearly as much anymore I've seen better gains in 3 months post-graduation vs. 1 year of getting hammed in my undergrad.

3 months vs. 1 year. lol.

I think ALOT of it has to do with genetics......beer NEVER effected my physique at all.......but I would run sprints in 90 degree weather everyday.....
