If you're taking AS, then daily alcohol consumption is not suggested. Anything past 1 glass of wine, I don't suggest

I have a few drinks (1) day/week - but when I saw a few, I mean 3 or 4 beers as a cheat/vaca from the rest of the HELL week

i think if your really serious about working out, you will want to lay off the booze. i mean one or two on sunday is cool but to go and binge drink. no ... i know that if i am good all week strict diet, good w/o's all week and then i blow it on the weekend i feel all is lost for my efforts during the week

Well anything diet related thats a toxic going into your body when your trying to improve it, obviously isn't good, is it gonna kill ya every once in a while no. But so many people go out all the time drinking everyday or 4 times a week. Its not gonna help you with your goals. And if your on AAS then its just putting added toxins to you liver and kidney's while AAS is already very toxic itself. I'll admit i still drink from time to time, not like i used to. I used to drink just about every single day for almost 2 yrs. and my body started to look like it. I cut out the booze and now drink maybe once every two weeks and just a few drinks and you can tell an obvious difference.

If you absolutely must drink, I recommend what he does. I'd rather see you toss back a few drinks one night a week than drink 1-2 drinks every night.

Get that nasty alcohol in and out of your system as quickly as possible. I've never been a big fan of booze and it's extra calories, not to mention it affecting my workout negatively the following day.

Personally I don't know one person with an awesome physique that drinks regularly.

I mean, alcohol puts stress on your liver, and even more so what your taking AS. Also, it has a negative impact on protein synthesis, which means your body won't be converting proteing as quickly to get to your muscles, which is vital for growing.

i have a couple glasses of red wine on the weekends. thats it. nothing during the week.

alcohol is not reccomended.
there are studies that indicate that 18g or less of alcohol (one low alcohol beverage) per day may have some benefits (however more than that has mainly negative effects)

if you plan on drinking:

hydration- should be obvious, alcohol is a diuretic. Hydrate before, during and after- WATER preferably.

Sesapure- increases metabolism of aldehyde (the main toxic metabolite of alcohol), also protects liver. take before and after.

Paul Millet drinks like a fish and looks pretty damn good. I think a lot of bobybuilders drink heavy. I'll try to find some pics of him and post them.
