im gonna work out alot over summer... so, do i have to put a COMPLETE stop on drinking or i can just drink during weekends...

is alcohol bad for u while ur working out... obviously im not talking about drinking before working out... just like drinking at parties and weekends...
thanx in advance...

Depends how much your going to be drinking on the weekend.
Are you going to only have a few beers and make sure its within your calorie needs?
Or are you going to get completely drunk and hammered?

Getting hammered against the rules?

Only if its a personally set rule.

However, if one sets a "choice" to drink alcohol and have ambitions to lose good tissue weight, then one ought to use intelligence within diet and fitness to guide them.

Like learning what alcohol actually does to the body in moderation and in excess. The amount of calories they carry, and the "extent" this could ruin their goal path if not properly implemented.

It just makes sense. Alcohol carries calories. It follows then that if one is on a calorie controlled diet, that this has to be considered if one makes a choice to drink. Or........remove this choice, with something else that "could be a better" option for calories.


Its about our personal choices. And, if you make a choice, then live with it and work with it---correctly....or get the hell rid of it.

If one makes the choice.........DEAL WITH IT, and it isnt any different than other problems we face when dieting. DEAL WITH IT.

Or it will handle YOU.

You determine which.

It's pretty simple....

If you are very serious about making progress quickly then honestly no type of alcohol has a place in your approach. It's full of empty useless calories that take days to leave your system not to mention the sides of it such as fatigue, dizzyness, etc etc....

Fitness has its mental side too.
Personally, I don't eat to excess, drink to excess or exercise to excess.
Fitness for a 63yo means something completely different than to a young'un.

Repeat as necessary until one gets "point".

Its all about moderation. alcohol is a 'cheat food', and packs 7calories per gram of alcohol...nearly as calorically dense as fat (9cals per gram).
