>>70318819I drink to forget. Sometimes the pain is unbearable and the regrets are too great.
>>70318847drink less, think more.every issue is solvable.
>>70318819I’m fine, I don’t have to work in extremes and can enjoy a beer with the lads or with dinner and be done. If you can’t control yourself with alcohol or it’s causing you harm then by all means stop, but if you can be responsible and drink in moderation or on occasion then go ahead.
>>70318819>stops you hanging around with no hoppersShouldn't drinking an IPA be better for that?
>>70318819You need to be 18+ to post here
>>70318847Lol what a fucking post
>>70318819yeah every doughy fat dude i know drinks. it's like mcdonalds. fine if it's once every 2 months or something but every damn week is just gonna make your body go to shit.
>>70319379Fast food is healthier than drinking. It's usually a fuckton of protein and if your calories are in check, it's fine to eat even often if your general intake of vitamins and minerals are in check.Drinking, on the other hand, provides NO value besides calories. It literally destroys muscle, prevents muscle regeneration, destroys healthy sleep patterns (which is when muscle primarily regenerates), dehydrates you, and more.Quite literally and unironically, eating nothing but fast food would STILL be healthier than binge drinking once a week. People don't want to be redpilled on this because quitting fastfood is easy, while not drinking is incredibly difficult for 99% of plebs so they try to rationalize their bullshit with "WELL AT LEAST I DONT EAT FAST FOOD" or shit like "WINE IS ACTUALLY PROVEN TO BE GOOD FOR YOUR HEART HEALTH" (It's not)If you want to take fitness seriously in any capacity, you have to abstain for alcohol ENTIRELY. Even smoking is not as harmful for muscle growth as drinking is
>>70318819Alcohol is literally anti-fitnessYou can't drink AND be physically noteworthy in any way
im already 10 beers deeps boys
>>70319379You can eat fast food burgers every dayIt's the fries/sugar syrup that is unhealthy
I limit it to two or less drinks a day with some days of no drinking, though I will drink more on vacations or holidays.My drinking is mostly splitting a bottle of wine with my wife at dinner or having a two beers on the weekend.
>>70318819Pain and boredom.
>>7031944790% of people in antiquity subsisted entirely on alcoholic beverages because they were safer and more palatable than water.
>>70319379>>70319442>>70319447Post body.
>>70319442Based
>>70319600This is basically me, but switch wine for mead since wine gives me a headache
>>70318819The same reason I lift.I find it enjoyable.Not my fault you're a retard with no sense of moderation.
>>70319694>Refutes age old scientifically proven principles that alcohol has a negative effect on metabolism, muscle growth and brain function>Demands people post bodyNTA you're replying to but how about you post first cunt
>>70319442The study that you are trying to reference found that it takes 6 plus standard drinks to inhibit protein synthesis for a man, and even then it’s minimal. However moderate drinking of 1-2 standard drinks for a man can provided protective effects against cvd and even raise testosterone. A beer is a great post workout drink since it provides vasodilation and shit tons of carbs and fluids to help replenish glucose to the muscles quickly and when paired with a high protein meal will improve protein absorption for gains. Fast food on the other hand destroys your cardiovascular system and increases your risk for a cvi, the macros are terrible and micronutrients are non existent trying to argue that is cope. Americans are some of the most unhealthy people in the world and consume the most fast food, Japanese and Italians live the some of the longest lives and consume some the most alcohol out of all groups. That all being said drinks in moderation are fine, but of course binge drinking is bad and don’t drink every day, but a beer or two a couple times a week is not going to hurt.
>>70319447>>70319442>>70319379Wasn't going to drink tonight but you're such a fucking faggot I might actually go pick up a 6-pack lmao
>>70319870>A beer is a great post workout drink since it provides vasodilation and shit tons of carbs and fluids to help replenish glucose to the muscles quickly and when paired with a high protein meal will improve protein absorption for gainsI can't tell if this is bait or not but jesus fucking christ the absolute state
>>70318847I do this but instead of drinking I lift heavy ass weights. Seems to work better longterm than turning to a bottle.
>>70319858Not that anon but I’ll post mine, I drink 2-3 times a week primarily beer or mead
>>70318819I've never met a non drinker I've wanted to be. Small, meek, weak, little men.
>>70319858Im not the one making any claims. I just want to know whether or not to listen to these people who have such strong opinions about alcohol consumption.
>>70319870Americans are unhealthy due to obesity, i.e caloric intake, not consumption of fast food. There is quite literally nothing wrong with sourcing protein from fast food, given that other macro/micros are in check.The rest of your post is BS. Any alcohol, even one beer, inhibits muscle growth, recovery, and function. Obviously one beer isn't going to do as much damage as 10 - but I've literally never met anybody who ONLY drinks one beer. That BS excuse is straight copium for people who can't grow the fuck up and be disciplined enough to put alcohol down while trying to train or be fit.Besides, even one beer, if drank often enough like one per night, is enough to fuck you up.1 beer does damage, you are a moron if you think otherwise. A post-workout beer is good for you? Lmao, grow the fuck up. If there's any study that even remotely suggests that - I guarantee you it was written by a DYEL who probably drinks 3+ beers and has the estrogen levels of your whore mother
>>70319909Dyel body.
>>70319676Alcohol content was extremely low and the ancients used to think undiluted wine could kill you. There’s a type of table beer I had once that was supposed to emulate the medieval stuff, it was like 3 percent ABV
>>70319979Post yours
there is no point posting body on a board without IDs
>>70319973Test levels, age, diet, and body. Now.
fine.
>>70320015True but they drank nothing but weak beer all day every day. The royal navy, which ruled the seas for several centuries, supplied every single man with a daily ration of rum. Funny Europeans weren't beaten by muslims if drinking was so bad for the body.
>>70318819>more mental clarity>misspells hopers
>>70318819>doctor does research>doctor publishes research>research says that consuming four beers every single day for three weeks reduced poundage of muscle growth by 10%, so 2.7 vs 3>abstract of article says “drinkers gained less muscle”>scientifically illiterate retards went SEE ALCOHOL KILLS GAINS
>>70318819>quit alcohol>posts a pic of a tasty looking beerwhy would you do this
>>70319912/thread.Teetotalers are colossal faggots.
>>70319442I learned this the hard way. Well said
>>70318819I quit drinking after finally getting over my ex girlfriend and all the terrible unspeakable shit she did to meNot to bad I only drank for 5 months I never was much of a drinker prior to all this so it’s easy for me to resume my life of not drinking
I have a glass of Esbjærg vodka once a week
>ITT coping alcoholics
>>70319442>People don't want to be redpilled on this because quitting fastfood is easy, while not drinking is incredibly difficult for 99% of plebsI guess I'm not a pleb then cause for me it's the exact opposite. Decided to stop drinking, I guess starting with the "dry january" meme. All it took was thinking "just don't drink lol" and I never had any problem. Food, on the other hand, is an eternal struggle.
>>70318847I drink because I keep my mouth shut too much. The resentment builds up and the drink is an escape. It all comes back though. I hate the cycle.
>>70318819>if you're serious about anything fitness related why do you drink?because life is eternal hell.
>>70319447I drink a lot. I still lift and I work on the railway. You would give up after 30 minutes doing the work that I do. There was literally a huge roided twat who bragged about how well he would do. He quit after the 1st shift. Mind over body. You either have it or you don't.
