yea the beer is gonna be crazy. I think an important thing is to make friends with people with similar goals, and when you see them not drinking a lot, you wont feel as pressured to either. That said, I drink way to much, and yet i have an 8%bf. Three of my friends with the best bodies i know are heavy partiers... I think that unless genetics fucked you over, beer isn't gonna make a huge difference unless you're just pounding every night of the week.
