Hmmm...ALA and Alcahol post workout.

[Sebass67]

Well, i just came back from my workout and so i decided i would have a little feast seeing as we had some guests over some turkey and potatoe salad and a lil alcahol.

So, i had a cup of coke with a shot of whiskey, 1 gram of ALA and a ton of food and it fucked me up kinda funny. I mean i felt drunk. I am 255 pds and one shot made me feel tipsy. Real messed up.

Don;t know if anyone has done this before but in case your curious here is the answer.

dunno, my EMT buddies all talk about how they take dextrose with their alcohols to increase absorbtion rates due to insulin. I guess if the ALA is shuttling the alcohol as insulin would, then you might get the same effect.

I would not recommend taking alcohol post workout (whether you also take ALA or not)

Alcohol does not increase insulin levels, it increases the rate of catabolism and decreases insulin sensitivity while indirectly promoting higher estrogen levels.

I was saying that they take DEXTROSE to induce an insulin spike so that they get drunk faster. miscommunication i guess
