Reminder that alcohol can't be stored as body fat
>>74135234It can be turned into liver fat which is even worse
>inhibits mps and recovery Yikes!>Relies on it to be functional in social situations instead of upping his natty soc gameEven bigger yikes!
>>74135500>inhibits mpsI’m pretty doubtful this has much of an impact. The most jacked guy I know is a major party guy who really drinks a lot. And growing up I knew lots of athletes who were basically frat party guys but they worked out hard and stayed in good shape. Alcohol is not good for you, obviously, but it doesn’t seem to be that much of a roadblock in getting strong and athletic. In my experience, the worst side-effect of alcohol is the impact it has on sleep.
>>74135234It's the other 95% of that beverages volume I'm concerned about.
>>74135500>Relies on it to be functional in social situationsHuh? I drink it alone to make the days less boring.
>>74135583Shitposting on 4chan counts as a social situation
>>74135600Social situations require pussy to count. Just saying
>>74135609Good thing you’re here, then ;)
>>74135234>Reminder that alcohol can't be stored as body fatDude, whoever's telling you that alcohol can't be stored as body fat is talking complete nonsense. Alcohol has calories, plain and simple. You know what calories do, right? They provide energy. But when you take in more calories than your body needs, it stores that excess as fat. Simple as that.>inb4 muh calories aren't realThe liver has to convert the alcohol to something less toxic. In the process, it creates acetate, which your body uses for energy instead of fat. While that's happening, your body just tucks away the calories from food into fat storage. Sudies showed that when you drink alcohol with a meal, your body tends to store more of the food calories as fat because it's too busy dealing with the alcohol.>inb4 e-easy just drink on an empty stomachAlcohol also fucks with your hormones, like insulin and cortisol, which are also involved in fat storage. So basically your liver converts ethanol to acetaldehyde, then to acetate, which gets turned into carbon dioxide and water. All this happens in the liver, which means the liver is putting everything else on hold, including burning fat, just to deal with your happy hour antics. So, while your liver is busy breaking down your drinks, any food you're eating? Yeah, that's just getting stored as fat because your body's not burning anything while it's got bigger problems to deal with.Plus, when you drink, the liver creates a ton of acetyl-CoA, a key player in fatty acid synthesis. When there's an excess of acetyl-CoA, guess what? It starts making fatty acids, which eventually turn into body fat. When you drink, insulin spikes, which can lead to more fat storage because insulin is like a doorman for fat cells, letting in all the sugar and turning it into fat. Your body can't metabolize fat efficiently with insulin going wild. So tl;dr you are fucking retarded basically.

>>74136638cope
>>74135578>I’m pretty doubtful this has much of an impact.people (retards) think it's a big deal mostly because they believe the fitness myth that exercise induced elevated mps maxes out at 48hrs. they believe this because they have literally never bothered to read the original source of any information they hear.
>>74135718>While that's happening, your body just tucks away the calories from food into fat storage.classic midwit handwaving cope. explain the precise biomechanics otherwise or admit you don't know what the fuck you're talking about

>>74136799You literally explained how alcohol can't be stored as body fat. All you did was longeindedly say it has secondary effects.

>>74137086You sound drunk honestly mate, why can't you respond coherently
>>74137197cuz youre a butthurt little BITCH
>>74137206How so
>>74137213see these butthurt posts >>74137056 >>74136985 >>74136850
>>74137242Not every anon is the same person. I'm asking you to articulate what people are butthurt about.
>>74135495Yeah the slower your liver processes shit the worse it is for you. Also getting actually drunk and overloading your liver is where problems arise and is why certain steroids mix awfully with alcohol, theres a load it can handle and going near or above it casues legitimate health issues.
>>74135578The more muscle you have the more you need, and if you dont drink much 2hrs or so before sleeping youre good. In terms of how it loads your liver, better to lift after or during drinking because itll load your shit so less protein synthesis occurs.
>>74136841Ok you sober piece of shit, explain how liquid bread is not the best pwo and i will concede. Insofar not have i been dissuaded.
>>74135718>insulin spikesUsed by bodybuilders to increase muscle mass. Also liver stops creating muscle when your liver is loaded, but i could drink a 6pack and maybe get a buzz so still top tier pwo if not even better.
>>74135234My dad is an alcoholic and I don’t drink. Of course I’ve tried but as I get older I see how my father fell into the bottle, I choose not to.
>>74137482God on you mate
Sweet reminder that all those acting prude and hyper vigilant to alcohol are actually chud-slim thirdies who never had to enjoy a good'ol pint and have no understanding of how relevant is alcohol to western culture about social settings. They just want you to be as miserable as they are.Beer, cider, or anything really you enjoy can be incorporated into your diet as much as it fits your macros, don't fall in excess neither indulge. Things thirdies can't do.They also come with good enzymes and anti-inflammatory agents.
>>74137501https://www.who.int/europe/news/item/04-01-2023-no-level-of-alcohol-consumption-is-safe-for-our-healthThe shit is poison, muslims were right.
>>74137559Yeah, yet people who drink live longer. Probably because they're not neurotic and worrying over having a few beers every couple of months.
>>74135234Reminder that the excess calories from alcohol ARE stored as body fat because the body can't process alcohol into anything viable and you may as well be eating packs of Skittles as you'd get more out of it.Does this mean I don't drink?Fuck no.I've been drunk 3 nights this week already.But I'm not gonna delude myself that I'm not shooting myself in the foot for fat loss.That being said, I've hit many PRs on hangover days, so there's some magic to it if you know how to play your cards right.
>>74135234Alcohol stops your body from burning fat until all of the alcohol is burned off or removed by the liver. This also causes your blood sugar to drop, resulting in sugar cravings. Alcohol also stimulates the digestive enzymes in your stomach that are designed to break down proteins which can lead to stomach lining breakdown if you aren't eating enough protein. This also makes you hungrier. When you finally get rid of the alcohol, you will crave more because alcohol is addictive.
>>74138995>Reminder that the excess calories from alcohol ARE stored as body fatWrong
>>74135234/fit/ has a completely wrong idea about how body fat works.
>>74135234drinking on an empty stomach kinda sucks though and if you have a cheeseburger it'll store that instead while it burns the alcohol
>>74135762based
>>74137406This is why many old men drank a lot and still occassionally do. Drunk is drunk but robustness and shit is a male trait primarily because old women who are heavy drinkers often get liver problems compared to men but its just that less women do because theyre afraid theyll growna mousache and shit from it.That being said the only thing barring me from heavier weight has been joints ive had no issue whatsoever getting stromger while drinkimg quite heavily if i do say.
>>74135578>And growing up I knew lots of athletes who were basically frat party guys but they worked out hard and stayed in good shape.Because it's not a zero-sum game. One drop of alcohol won't invalidate your gains but those guys you knew would've been even bigger if they didn't drink.
>>74139048So where do the calories go?
>>74141309Calories are a measurement of energy not a thing
>>74135495Highly underrated fippybippy
>>74141312And? What happens to the energy you're ingesting into your body?
>>74141331What happens when you put inefficient fuel in an engine
>>74141338Im asking you.
>>74141345I'm answering you
>>74141351No, you just asked another question. It didn't answer anything
>>74141357I'm trying to reach you how to think logically and reason it out. Do you know how engines work?
>>74141359I don't. Explain it to me.
>>74141362Its wasted as heat energy. That's why engines get hot, they are dissipating the energy
>>74141375So if i consume a bottle of alcohol my body will heat up?
>>74141391If you consume a Boyle of alcohol your body will waste what it is unable to burn as heat energy, and also in your urine yes
>>74141391Your body heats up when you consume anything
>>74141406>>74141398Then how do people gain weight
>>74141415By esterifying carbohydrates protein and fat into fatty tissue when the amount consumed exceeds the ability to burn it off
