Beer and Protein???

[likaiming]

I have read about how alcohol consumption hinders protein senthesis. My question, is having a few beers with the bros on a weekend going to do that much damage? Or does this apply to those that like to go get wasted on the weekends? I like to have a beer or two everynow and then, when I start my first cycle I will stay away from alcohol totally to avoid uneccessary strain on the liver. But I just wanted some thoughts on this.

Yes, a few beers with the bros will interfere with your gains. If you don't think so try training with and without alcohol and tell me which way you feel stronger.

Yep. You want to succeed in the game, you gotta make the sacrifices.

i agree. even a few have fucked my gains up. i also used to chew all the time and that hindered my gains too, which most people dont feel it does, but for me it made me really weak. id like to hear some opinions on dip and its effects on gains.

I love me some beer! So much so that I had to get rid of my keg-orator. I, along with a few good bro's were killing a half keg every 3 weeks.

I don't drink at all during the week when I'm on AS but will throw a few back on the weekend. Hell, its football season and I have season tickets to the Redskins! We're at the stadium 4 hours before kickoff and start throwing them back as soon as we get [past the stadium attendants!

i believe the last post someone made of this was best put..Your body shouldnt event except alcohol so the body is to busy trying to remove the poison out of your system so theres no time for it to do much more then that..Something like that you get the picture....Bottom line you have to decide do i want the look or the buzz...Smoke pot your will get better pumps!

alcohol and aas don't mix but every now and then throwing a few down is alright as long as its not a twelve pack.
