It has been about 2 months for me...I probably had a Guiness or a couple Heinekens.

I have made beer before, I have a kit to do it. The kind I made was like Guiness Extra Stout. I can make 5 gallons of beer for about $15, and it is pretty good too. I would like to do it again but can't really justify doing it because I never drink anymore.

I like to drink beer… never get **** faced anymore.

Used to be a *heavy* drinker…. But get a little…umm… violent if I drink to much.

I do love beer though… just keep it to three or less.

Kaliber made by Guiness, it's non-alcoholic, tastes better then some regular beers.

Yeah this last weekend I consumed 100+ beers, so I'm paying for it with the return of the beer gut. But From now on I'll try to bring my own hard liquor or keep my beers under a sixer. It was a compound mistake like poker after 2 days of drinking I was back in college trim and I could drink 30 beers, no bueno.

:jaw: That makes me feel ill just thinking about that quantity of beer. Do you regularly drink in massive quantities such as this?

I usually don't drink that much, i think that was when I went to the ama races, it was a blast. Just finished a 1/5 of soco 100% with a friend last night, i'm hurting now. Silver lining is that I threw up so saved a couple calories, but yeah, settled down a lot since school as a bottle a day wasn't a big deal go play poker won some money then walked to the liquor store. But yeah, I try not to buy any booze, or keep anything in the house, and when I go out now unless it's a house party I drive so I can only have 2-3 drinks.

I canceled my workout session with a pt today because of the fun I had last night. It's defiently not something you can do in excess if you wanta have your body in top shape, but that's obvious. Unless your already there then I would guess ur metabolism would be flying, but it would catch up with you sooner or later.

Rarely, like once every couple months. When I do though, I get completely trashed. I almost always wake up feeling like an ******* / idiot.

Some examples... last time after getting herded out of the bar I went for a walk with my buddies along the beach (newport), and decided to be civil and use a bathroom to relieve myself. Well I went into a public restroom, a quite odd one that had no urinals and a lot of women in it. Naturally I yelled at them to get out of my bathroom, and midway through pissing away I realized I had walked into a women's bathroom. In another case I ripped the metal door of a newpaper dispense, took a couple of papers out and tried to sell them to pass bys. Why I don' know, at the time my buddies and I thought these things the funniest **** in the world, but I always wake up the next day feeling guilty, like a dog that just ate a wedding cake.

I don't ever wake up with hangovers / sickness though because one thing I learned @ a young age was that I could eat / drink endless quantities of just about anything when really drunk, so i take advantage of this by having a quart of water and a gram or two of Vitamin C right before I go to sleep. Usually some food too. Ever since I started doing this I always wake up feeling fine physically, but mentally I feel stupid for doing something that I know impedes my gym progress.

I have a rule with myself, never more than a six pack a week.
If I have 3 Friday,than no more than 3 Saturday,none Sunday.And I have to keep track during the week.

So a six pack a week, no more, usually no less.

I was an alcoholic in college, and have broken off to now where I'm only a social drinker maybe once or twice a month. I enjoy a good weekend night, and the enjoyment is well worth it. My body is just happy I'm not out drunk 4+ nights a week.

I try to drink a glass of red wine every night when i get home. It's supposed to be good for your heart. Beyond that though, i dont really drink much. It just kills any gains you make during the week.

Red wine is better; reservatrol or something.Read good things about it,they even sell caps of the pure stuff.

i was stationed in germany and became very fond of beer and french wine. I still drink my fair share of beer but not even a fraction of what it use to be. The whole german culture is just so much more beer friendly. Despite all of the beer drinking I look
much more fit than 90% of the guys around here. You just have to set limits for yourself and be responsible. If you want to look at something really interesting do a search about the "FRENCH PARADOX".

Luckily I don't like how beer tastes, so I rarely drink. Since I have psoriasis, I try to watch out for stuff that'll make it worse, sadly alky is one of em. My coworkers go drinking weekly, I just go home :)

I've been drinking a lot lately. Beam and cokes, and a lot of it. I attribute my drinking to the winter blues. I should be taking measures to counter the winter blues, but this time unfortunately its been with alcohol. This weekend will probably be my last weekend of drinking for at least 6 months and hopefully much longer. Alcohol absolutely kills my motivation, strength, appetite, etc. Like Workin posted if you are planning to drink and don't want to feel like ****, Poseidon is a great product to use. That said, I'm sure you would see A LOT more out of Poseidon by not drinking. I just happen to like to get absolutely retarded drunk on occasion.

I try not to everyweekend, but its summer come on. And its either to drink and get slammed, or not drink at all, moderation isnt apart of my vocab.

I did not drink from the time I was 17 until last August. At that time, I had broken up with my GF of five years and, unfortunately, I started to turn to alcohol for a little comfort. I never got in any trouble because of it, but there were a few times where I went overboard. I still drink on the weekends while I am hangin out with the friends or when I go out.

I here ya..........im not much of a social drinker either, its either stay home or get blind and not remember how i got home the next day.

If i take a month or so i off i really notice it in the gym and my wallet thanks me but i just get so booooored if i dont go out get hammered and chase tail.

Its also the reason i've never touched all the bottles of PP and SD in my cubboard. 8 weeks off the booze. Its sounds sooo hard :aargh:

Bioavailability of pure reservatrol really sucks, so I made a vodka + 50% pure reservatrol mixture.Alcohol increases bioavailability of this antioxidant greatly.Figures as this is found in red wine.

Oh I forgot, and a VERY effective antiaromatase.

If you drink like 2-3 beers only once a week you'll be fine. I usually don't drink unless my friends come up or I'm going out for the evening, but I'll go a few weeks at a time without drinking, the pattern is really staggered.

I like to drink when I go out, which is like 1 or 2 times a week, and on occasion I will have a glass of wine at dinner, but I am not a huge drinker.

I used to get trashed all the time when I was still in college and before I graduated. Now whenever I even have 1-2 beers alcohol just makes me sick now, I don't get that 'fun' feeling anymore.

i hate to be an ass but i drink alot... it started about 3 months ago when my ex and i broke up. We were supposed to get married june 16th less then 3 weeks ago and for the past 5 yrs i did nothing but school, work 2 jobs and spent stupid time with her. So i drank twice in probably 5-6 yrs! So im making up for it. Thats how i look at it, plus i dont have "Game" untill buzzing pretty well, lol. I know its bad and i shouldnt be but i promised myself and many others after this summer im not goin to drink much at all. Maybe once a week but most likely once or twice a month. But i pretty much get **** faced Thursday (new friday) hehe Friday, Saturday into sunday. Sunday sober up day. But I get wasted usally and i have like the worst lifting days the next day after drinking like i cant. Its really weird i just cant focus, my body hates me and i just cant. I try too and i do cardio but i cant lift anything heavy or have endurance. So i know i need to slow it down soon. And i will! Inaddition to the fact i have terrible acid reflux and at least 8-9 ulcers in my stomach that arent totally bleeding yet... so yes i will slow down soon.

Good man i hope you do slow down. I have never had an ulcer in my life, i cant imagine how bad for them it must be to keep drinking on top of the ulcers. You got yourself into a bad pattern and its good to see you plan on breaking it !

Im not sure if there has ever been a poll on here about this, but I'm just curious. Do any of you drink? If so, how often? I personally am not a big fan of drinking. Several months go by before I have a drink. Even then, I hate it and feel like crap. I really feel alcohol is best left out when trying to put on muscle or burn fat. From what I know, it shuts down protein synthesis and fat burning for a good period of time.
Well said,I agree.When I do something I do it right..If I'm gonna drink,then I'm gonna be out drunk every night,if I'm gonna lift/train..then I'm gonna lift everyday...maybe I have ADD or something..I just say pick one thing,and do it right...Drinkin' just gets in the way anyway you look at it...
Plus my Liver can probably barely handle the stress I put on it already,lol.

Just my 2cc's

Yeah I hear ya, I definitely drank a lot more when I was in college, probably about 3 to 4 times a week.....That is why college makes you pack on the pounds, from drinking and late night eating.

For some reason drinking doesnt pack on the pounds for me. Back in the day when i drank alot i always had my abs. Alot of my friends say they can see a difference the day after they drink alot... i never was able to see any difference, i always felt one though.

My will for getting bigger is far more powerful that drinking alot. Although last weekend I slipped and did a nose drug for 11 hrs straight:ntome: In all honesty I havent been "drunk" in a few months. Ill sip maybe 4-5 in a few hours but thats it, bodys gotta lose the bf% and drinking 2000cals of drinks a night wont help. Although July 13/14 could be drunk weekend, illinois mardi gras! I hope I have enough cash by then

A nice glass of single malt with water or ice is a great thing every once in a while.


A frozen tropical beverage down in Barbados is ... life just wouldn't be as good without those.
