I can't stand to not drink when my friends get back together.
They only come back from school twice a month so its not too bad.

Once a month is what i do... Gotta have that special day... just don't have a "special day" too often. I feel after a day of alcohol bloated and muscles feel soft. So once a month is plenty for me...

you can take almost everything IN MODERATION

ie red wine is full in polyphenols (antioxidants) and lower cardiovascular risk
but too much wine / other alcohol is counterproductive

I used to drink more than anyone else I know, damn near every weekend, at least one night. If we went out, I got plowed. I've been contemplating severely cutting back. Haven't drank since New Years. Went to a bar last weekend, but just played pool, didn't drink. This weekend I can go out if I want, but to a bar where I'd just be sitting there, I don't know if I need to be put in that position. I can't shake this gut, and maybe cutting back the beer is an answer. The once a month thing may be good for me, I wonder if I could hold to that. I do know that they day after I drink, I wouldn't even bother going to the gym, I feel like crap.

Once a month! Damn, you guys are disciplined. I drink pretty much at least once a week( 2-3 margaritas). I do enjoy some red wine with dinner now and then but I hardly think that will cause any adverse effects. Red wine is good for you as long as you only have a glass or two. I think it all has to do with your metabolism, just look at any rock star- they drink constantly and stay skinny as hell.....

I do: 2 ussually 3 times a week

Do I know it is counter productive? YES

But I like partying and I like lifting and watching my diet (I am EXTREMELY careful about my diet other then the alcohol). It is working for me and I am happy - I still have visible abs and have jumped my weight from 145 to 173 since the begining of last semester.

Do what works for you and makes you happy, but I think it is truly a shame to give up one thing you like for another thing even if the thing is counter productive (which drinking IS).

i drink about once a month, i think that is fine especially since i stay good on my diets. i dont want to make my life strictly lifting and dieting, i dont think you need to totally avoid alcohol and once a month is fine.

o yeah also now that we are on this subject, about how many calories are in one beer? i hear 300 sometimes, and 100 sometimes, also about how many carbs?

I have that special day too usually once a month. But it's that special day when I don't drink.
