to take my training to another level, but tonight we are going to a sweet 16 and I know it is going to be really hard NOT to drink.
Any ideas?

Start eating as soon as you get there....then you won't feel like chugging the booze.Originally Posted by bodyhard

Drinking doesn't affect my training one way or the other, to be honest.Originally Posted by bodyhard
I've lifted most of my adult life. Sometimes I've drank quite heavily, other times not as much, and for some periods I abstained all together.
Never noticed any difference in my lifting...

Grab a non-alcoholic drink as soon as you get there. If someone offers you anything say that you're good.Originally Posted by bodyhard

Any ideas?There will come a day when I tire of listening to 80's music. That day is not today.

Move to Colorado and start smoking/eating weed. Will help keep the BP down on your "Next Level" and easy on your liver.

Club soda with a lime, it looks like a mixed drink so no buddies can give you any crap.

I don't know if drinking affects lifting. When I started to get back in shape a couple years ago I stopped drinking simply because I wanted to lose weight and I didn't want the extra calories....after a while I realized I didn't miss it and I don't even think about it anymore unless I read something like this or someone mentions something about me not drinking anymore......who knows maybe someday I will again but at this point I don't even feel the need or desire to
I spend a lot of time in bars too...I play music professionally....I just drink club soda with a lime....no big deal...."You got soul and everybody knows that its alright".....Curtis Mayfield........"Eat to be strong weights and reps"....Me....."leave the gun take the cannoli".....Fat Clemenza

Honestly if your really serious about giving it up for awhile to focus on training then your first going to have to realize that there almost daily reasons why you could have a drink or two. Today it's a sweet sixteen, tomorrow hey it's football and who doesn't enjoy a few while watching football, then for you there's pool league. You really just have to practice a little will power and say no thanks.
It's not your beliefs that make you a better person, it's your behavior.

not sure if serious.....really??? please, tell me you are just joking....Originally Posted by Oceanside
BTW: for a Spanish girl, a sweet 16 is almost like a "coming out party", or debutante party of sorts...it is a BIG DEAL....a cultural thing...have been to several over the years.....Lift as MUCH as you can, for as MANY reps as you can,
while in complete control of the exercise.

Why in the world is there liquor at a 16 year old party? That's just wrong to me.
For crying out loud John, just get a glass of diet soda and screw it... this seems like a silly thing to fuss over to me.Was friends with Methuselah

I suppose it depends on your goal .... for strength, I agree. I hit some of my best numbers when I was drinking 7 nights a week.Originally Posted by -=FLEX=-
Honestly, I didn't know what one was either until I saw some Sweet 16 show parodied on Southpark.Originally Posted by JOHN GARGANI

weed is way better for you than drinking
