Will drinking alcohol once every 2-3 months greatly affect my gains?

[Sazthetics]

If i get drunk once every 2-3 months on spirits, will it greatly effect my gains if I drink BCAA's and have a protein shake before bed?

[Gilgamesh13]

Not sure if srs..... It shouldn't really affect yer gains, I gulp me some fine cup of vodka with me creatine in the morning... And get me some fine ol' night of grog and pint every Sunday night. I also drink red wine 3 times a week.

[Wolfharth]

Dear God. Please be Troll thread.

[kosich]

Not sure if srs, once 2-3 months? I get drunk every day and my gains are even better, i make ALL KINDS OF GAAAAAINZZZZZ AAALLLLLLLLL KIIIIIIINDS.





















































not srs

[Energetical]

In all honesty, I used to drink every Saturday night when I was 17 (around the time by profile picture was taken) and it didn't effect my progress. I used to drink larger all night until around 2am, then have takeaway before bed, I still got plenty of sleep and my calories were in check - my gains were better then than now (And no, I don't think it was from alcohol haha), so I can honestly say it didn't effect me much at all, and I got a lot of pussy from it. srs.

my pre workout is a glass of whiskey

alcohol doesn't have any effect on muscle gain, whoever that says it does has no science background. but alcohol will **** up your liver.

make sure you up your calorie intake though, the liver spends extra energy trying to break down alcohol into less toxic molecules.

[GITZI]

Bro, srsly, if your gonna drink so often then you can't expect to gain any muscle, this proves how uncommited you are to your goals. May god have mercy on your soul.

Not srs. Get a life/10

The only thing that you have to worry about is that while you are intoxicated muscle protein synthesis is lowered.. but in the long run who the fuk cares?

get drunk. slay some bishes. live your life, what is it these kids are saying these days, YOLO?? :P

Lol, no such thing as slowering of protein synthesis (if that happened you would be dead). that occured in some studies because some *******s recorded lower levels of testosterone and growth hormone, but that actually happened because alcohol affects your sleep.

thank ****. that's the first time i've ever heard it DOESNT mess with your gains lolz

np brah but i wouldn't drink if i were you. your liver isn't a ****ing wizard, it does enough work on a day to day basis.. especially if you take creatine. creatine not even once.

If you are a rat maybe

[kioskris]

Yes. You will die.

[GeneralBroseph]

no, it wont

[pepperingangus]

no /thread

Will it affect your gains: Yes
Will it noticabaly affect your gains: No

[JJones1090]

First off, getting drunk THEN drinking a protein shake and bcaa's before bed sounds horrible...plus, it's not like that's going to erase the alcohol's impact on your system just because you did it after a night of hard drinking.

Second, most posts in this thread are a huge joke. True, drinking once every 2-3 months will not greatly affect your progress in the grand scheme of things. Will it have an effect? Absolutely. There is science behind alcohol adversely affecting gains...

Again, it won't have a huge impact as infrequently as you are doing it now, but go post this question in the nutrition thread and you'll get a very different, more informed set of answers.

[spiderman997]

There is science behind alcohol adversely affecting gains...

Not particularly good or convincing science. It might lower your testosterone by 6% for a few hours once every few months. Considering watching porn raises testosterone 40%, I don't find a 6% drop very significant.

I am doe..but srs, good to know that my only concern about drinking has been laid to rest. can now continue on my path to alcoholism without fear

Also decreased protein synth. It would be bad to drink right after a workout. But other than after a workout I believe it has very little affect at all.

[spiderman997]

Also decreased protein synth.

[erick15]

You cannot honestly believe that there is no decrease in protein synthesis after drinking. Not saying it is substantial, but there is some according to studies (done on rats)

[Sazthetics]

btw i meant to say once a month rather than 2-3 months lolz.

[afrokid]

IS this srs mirin?

I have the occasional ybombs and straight but not more than a couple of Litres a week.

So basically I am never sober but my gains are pretty neat, what you're doing getting drunk every couple of months won't affect your gains at all.

Oh god every 2-3 months your fineee. People drink even at my age all the time in summer and get good gains still.

[spiderman997]

You cannot honestly believe there is no decrease in protein breakdown after drinking.

[4lolzandstuff]

Arnold used to drink beer. But I guess that's why he got little to no gains.
