Alcohol vs protein synthesis
Hi all, I've read recently that drinking alcohol can reduce protein synthesis by 20%. This is obviously very worrying and I wondered if the 20% reduction for for a day or two after drinking or for my whole life? This might be a dumb question but any answers are appreciated. I'm planning on drinking at the weekend but not sure how this might affect future gains. Thanks

its not permanent. 20% is a totally random number some gym bro threw at it.

To make me fret or make me frown
I had strings, but now I'm free
I got no strings on me

Yes, it's temporary.Originally Posted by LiamH22
Unless you're a professional bodybuilder making money for your physique and prepping for a show, you can enjoy a drink or two from time to time. All things in moderation.Progressive overload + progressive eating = gains. Simple as that!
