BLAME IT ON THE alcohol :/

[lboogie04]

Okay people. . .

So, I have a semi-ridiculous question. What is the best alcoholic beverage to drink when you are looking to lose significant wait. I know ideally you should avoid it all together. . .but I haven't been able to commit to that yet.

When I go out I definitely do some serious damage. Rum/Diet, Shots, Madori. . .the whole nine.

I've been drinking probably 6 alcoholic beverages/week. But only on 2 days.

Can someone talk to me about what this will do to my efforts and some alternatives other than NOT DRINKING AT ALL.

I've committed to not drinking for 30 days to see if the progress ends up better, but I'd really just like to hear everyone's opinions on LIQUID COURAGE :/

Thanks

First you gotta learn how to spell weight.

Beer=Bad

Mixed drinks= Bad

Anything with sugar = Bad

If you MUST drink, drink it straight with no chase.

[BeerMakesMuscle]

chase with water, or myoplex

[Opies]

bombay sapphire gin + ice water

[Travis71902]

There is no good choice. The best thing you can do is limit whatever you choose to drink to 2 drinks or less. Have a glass of wine and be done. Or 1 light beer and be done.

[mminguela]

1...repeating myself...ONE light beer. After that drink diet coke. No one but you knows rum or vadka isnt in there..At least thats what I do.

[KurtyJ99]

chase with water, or myoplex

Exactly.

[crod6926]

chase with milk..works awesome

or be a man and done use a chaser

[Merial20]

jack+diet coke = 60 calories...just have a few of those should get you feeling good. u dont have to get smashed everytime you go out. think about ur health too. im not saying be a hermit, but dont go overboard everytime! trust me iv been in ur shoes lol

[liammccarthy]

Vodka, lime juice and soda water. 55 calories.

Alcohol has more calories per 1.5 oz then almost anything you could put in your body at that weight.

I will drink Crown every now and then and a shot is 97 calories times that by a nights worth of straight shots and you have about 970 cal or more from booze add mixes and your at 2,000+ with the exception of diet soda.

Go to

for the down low on calories on all your favorite drinks that you probay should stop drinking.

MGD 64

64 cal
2.4 carbs
-1g protein

[BadWog]

Low carb light beer is the way to go if you are a beer drinker.

Personally I can't drink that stuff though, so I stick with full strength lol.

[zdub32]

chase with water, or myoplex

along these same lines.....what about making mixed drinks w/ISOPURE flavored rtd? Never done it myself, but I imagine it would be pretty good. Would there be any downside to this health wise?

[andrewB007]

vodka with flavoured spring water.. I think it's called vawter or something

The downfall is youre still takinkg in a crap load of calories to put it straight foward but hell everone has to have fun sometimes and drink with there friends okay not everyone but most of us.

Some time our strict diets have to ride shotgun to our booze.

ISOPURE rtd is 160 cals 40g protein. 1 shot of goose is 67calx3. That puts it at 370 cals and 40 protein. I just wasn't sure if any biological factors would come into play to make it dangerous or anything. I like to go lower carbs on days I know I'll be drinking and adjust my macros to allow for a couple mixed drinks to get me feelin good.

[DriftMonster]

Remember that many alcoholic beverages actually have beneficial effects when consumed responsibly (well, they have the same beneficial effects when consumed irresponsibly, also, but the negative effects begin to outweigh greatly ).

So why not just try and fit it within your macros for the day and count the alcohol calories like fat (metabolized much similarly).



With the title I thought you were going to talk about the drunchies. I think I get more calories from excess eating caused by drunchies than I would ever with the alcohol

[On Fire]

but I haven't been able to commit to that yet.

I realize all the White Knight's are gonna scream and cry bloody murder...



...but we can tell. If you can't do something as simple as avoiding booze, you won't have the mental strength to succeed in other areas.

[dezertracer]

how much does alcohol actually affect protein synthesis and stuff that negatively affects your progress? i might not have this 100% but i believe since your body is trying to metabolize a toxin (booze) it shuts down the other processes such as burning off fat and building muscle..

i dont care about the calories that much but i typically get fairly hammered every saturday and feel really guilty about it sometimes cus i feel like it sets me back all the hard work ive put in all week lifting hard and eating right.. i will typically drink in the range of 16-20 miller lite's throughout the day, once a week.

[MAGnitude]

vodka shots

[Panabol]

Dat Der Vodka Shots brah.

Mix with Sugarfree Red Bull !(10 Calories/can) but limit urself to 2 red bulls

inb4 Age: 16 - u mad im underage?

[knox07]

hahahahah put isopure in a mixed drink? rofl lmao hahaha.. that is.... hahahahaha.... that is...... lmao the funniest thing ive ever heard.

get a set of balls dude

[n1k0l1]

your body will not try to loose weight or build muscle when that poison is in you - avoid it if you are srs about your workouts...

Can someone explain macros? I am not familiar with this terminology. Thanks :/

Fair enough. . .I can understand the statement. What are White Knight's?

Macros are macronutrients, such as fats, proteins and carbs.
