Its funny because I make my own alcohol and used to be a weekend partier back in college. In my earliest drinking days, I used to be able to get drunk, not get hung over, and still get in the gym easily the next day, still make gains, still feel great. Now (in my mid-20-s) when I-m even more serious about my workouts and planning, I find that I naturally drink less. And it really just comes down to the fact that I refuse to drink during the week because I have work. Then there-s less parties to go to because I-m not in college anymore. And then when I think about going out to bar hop or something, I-m like -yeah but-I could just hit the gym-. Its kind of weird because I like alcohol, but staying away from it just sort of happens.

I've lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks of watching athlean X. I mean I've actually had to put the work in as far as working out & eating better but Jeff has helped out throughout these last 3 weeks & this is just the beginning. can't wait to see where this new life journey takes me. last month I was a pack of cigarettes a day regular smoker. No exercise other then the walking & lifting I do at work & high amounts of alcohol & fat food on a daily basis. to this month. NO cigarettes -No fastfood other then subway, more fruits more veggies & maybe just 1 or 2 alcohol drinks a night. & most importantly I've been to the gym 16 days out of the last 21.
I feel great & I'm ready for a better life & a better body -

My experience would be: after a night of considerable/heavy drinking I would get a hangover in which I'd look for a lot of non healthy foods and skip workouts cause of the -tiredness-, this could expand to more than just the day I was hungover (2 or 3 days. so in other words: heavy/considerable drinking breaks my momentum for 2-3 days and cancells some of the progress done. If heavy drinking happens once a week, well, the best scenario is slow progress.

I never drink any Alcohol whatsoever, No one told me to not drink any Alcohol whatsoever. I heard about it but I never cared about it. I am old enough to drink but never will ever I always been this way. Never had 1 sip of any Alcohol or bear none. BUUUUT I do order Alcoholic Drinks but tell them to not add any Alcohol to the drink. Allowing me to taste it without being effected by Alcohol.

Great video. I'm disciplined when working out; I'm disciplined with eating healthy, but I do have the vice of drinking more than I ought to and I've been working on trying to cut the alcohol out. But it was great to see a video which took a common sense approach to the issue, as opposed to some draconian view calling alcohol poison and a drop will kill you. Thanks for the advice.

Not proud to say but I go months sometimes a whole year without working out. Gain weight and then lose it all in a few months when I start working out again. I hate it. Even when I work out really hard, eat clean, and I have my goals. Any time I drink between that it makes me feel like shit. It's to much hard work in the gym to throw it away over drinks and friends

I-m 100% happier when I-m not drinking. I go back and forth with it, I-ll drink for a year or two, take a year off and repeat. It feels good to drink at first when I come back to it, but eventually it starts to drag me down. I-m just not a person that can drink 1 or 2 beers. I-d rather just not drink at all than have one beer.

I mean if you are going to have a drink, have a drink out of curiosity or because you wish to do it. Doing it because of pressure or for likes/comments sounds a bit silly.
And don't drink out of a bottle - you won't feel half the taste because you won't smell anything; and if you're doing it only once, make sure it's a good drink.

Tastes like freedom -
I had an annoying friend once who always tried to convince me to have one more drink, and then another one. Nobody should ask another person to drink more. or at all. Staying true to your believes feels a lot better than the drink you didn't want in the first place.

I mean it isn't impossible to have a drink casually once a week and still gain muscle mass. Yes it does dehydrate you and deflate your muscle, if you don't properly rehydrate. It would have to be some serious drinking you're doing to -kill gains-
