Wine compared to Beer?

[Tommy W.]

Wine has zero nutritional benefit. If you're cutting it lengthens your cut time. If you're bulking it will go to fat gain which will need to be dieted off. I like wine but it serves no purpose in bodybuilding. It just screws things up more than anything. When I'm "On the program" alcohol goes by the wayside

Yes for sure. 2 glasses of wine a night is 300 cals. That's the difference between 1,700 and 2,000 cals a day....HUGE when cutting. Makes all the difference. It basically takes you from a nice little defecit to being at maintenance most of the time.

With regards to a healthier alcohol, red wine is first spot on the list. Red wine contains antioxidants, which can safeguard your cells from harm, and polyphenols, which can advance heart wellbeing. White wine and rose contain those as well, simply in more Smallest quantities. And if you love sparkling wines then you must try Brown Brothers Zibibbo Sweet wine, and their Zibibbo is rapidly gaining popularity with its fresh, lively sparking quality and hint of pleasantness. An incredible choice if you like your sparkling wines on the sweeter side of the fence.

So i'm a drinker, i'm sure some of us on this forum are! And i've decided to replace my beer drinking with wine. Even though i look like a huge douche when i pull out the glass of wine and my buds are drinking beer, i've heard drinking wine is actually healthy. What do you guys think?

One thing to be aware, wine increases your appetite. Even if you factored the calories of a bottle, by the end of the night you are ready to raid the refrigerator...

Wine before beer, never fear.
Beer before wine, also fine.
Prestone and gin, think again.

"Liquor before beer, you're in the clear
Beer before liquor, you've never been sicker"

Honestly that hasn't held true in my experience. Also, on the occasions I drink a lot, I don't get wild or anything and don't end up saying or doing stupid stuff that I probably wouldn't have done anyway. That might be kind of rare.

This happened in the late 80's. Some lady killed her husband by giving him a Prestone and gin cocktail every day after work.

A lot of bumping of interesting threads recently lol

I agree on what Tommy said 8 years ago. When I cut I just go cold turkey on alcohol, it just messes up everything. And messes up bulking too lol, but I do like the taste of wine and I am not enough of a health freak to cut out alcohol entirely

I should never have written that post lol. Fell for the temptation to drink wine this weekend after all.

But I have found that as long as I go cold turkey on all highly processed food I don't get those problems. I get virtually all my carbs from fruits and veggies currently. If I eat bread it's homemade. As long as I do this I can still enjoy some wine in moderation without ruining my cut.

Vodka and club is the best way to go for the drunk to fitness ratio... lol....
