Alcohol/Drinking and your social life....

[GoldenDelicious]

Is it possible to drink alcohol and still remain in form? Well... athletes do it in h.s., college, pros, more of the ones being on in college and pros. There is a guy on my team who can incline bench 355x3 times and on the weekends he gets obliviated. It's all about cardio, the harder the cardio and work out the harder you train, the harder people seem to party to get away from it or just have fun. They don't think about their liver, the effects it will have on them down the road. I garuntee you that most people could care less. I guess it all depends on the mood your in and how much you care about your training...

some people experience huge toxicity from booze. theyre nauseous, have trouble concentrating, their water/salt balance gets out of whack, nervous system takes a hit etc - these people probably couldnt get away with it

to others, though, alcohol is just a carb. i have a buddy who goes out and gets blind drunk on weekends, wakes up 6 hours later with a big smile on his face, ready to go to they gym and build a house

personally, if i drink too much, dont ocme near me, dont let me behind the wheel of a car, dont ask me anything, just leave me the hell alone for a day while my brain recovers, and my strenght is in the toilet for 2-3 days. also, i hold water like a balloon, and so clomp around like a stray buffalo

so it depends

LOL GD....funny you mention kava. just drank that tonight. down in fort lauderdale a buddy of mine runs a "kava bar" on the beach...i've never actually seen one besides this place. pretty cool spot...mellows me the fuck out, but its not like a super social drug where i can go out and party. it's a great change of pace though..i usually meet cool people over there but it's like the chill, uninhibited social experience

and good point dan...all those pro athletes party, but i think alot of them have great genetics or like you said...are on AAS and just dont give a fuck about their livers. thats why they're still iike 7% bodyfat but they just got shitfaced two day in a row

anyways, djufo!! you still live in MIA FL???? Glad to see you've maintained the same perspective that i have..of the latin culture LOL (and i'm half cuban believe it or not!!).
it's only down here, people are dicks
if you move to broward you'd be alot happier. i did and it's alot better.

I'm still stuck in the third world man...but relocating exactly in one year very very far away from here...anyways, I spend a lot of time out of this freaking town. I have a lot of friends in Louisiana; I go there at least once a year, we meet in Orlando, or they come to Homestead for NASCAR. In fact, for this year we are renting an RV, we'll have around 100 pounds of crawfish and tons of Budweiser so everybody is welcome!

so you moved to Broward county? I heard the fallen angels from the sky who are here to do what Americans don't want to do are overpopulating that area very fast...is that true?

This is so true. In fact when I go out I think of some of my old college buddies who now play in the NFL and they used to get FUCKED UP on the weekends. I justify my actions by telling myself that they did it so can I, which is probably not the truth. But you read books about the old guard like the Steelers when Courson and Franco played and they tell about all their escapades in the partying scene and they were the best then. It really does come down to genetics but I think it is funny as hell that these guys can party like this with impunity. And yea, these guys used to wake up in the morning and go train at the complex too. Amazing!!
