As much as I hated to admit it, I always put on strength and muscle mass when I didn't restrict my alcohol intake.
I made some HUGE gains working legs and shoulders on Sundays, after getting sloshed on Saturday nights. I don't know if it's just the additional calories, or if there are other factors present. Your Mileage May Definitely Vary Nevermind. I missed the diet part. If you feel the need to drink, stick to vodka/rum and diet soda, but it ain't a great weight loss method. |

No problems and probably benefits from moderate consumption - 1-2 drinks/day. Adverse consequences from consuming greater amounts.

Some pro's still workout while drunk. Arnold and his crew were wasted or high alot of the time. I dont do it but it sure sounds fun.

I'm 50, active, and in pretty good shape for my age.
The older I got, the less alcohol seemed to fit in my life. Coupla beers, and I was looking for a place to sleep, and I didn't feel very well. Matter of fact, I drank a beer yesterday evening - first one in at least a year. I don't think I'll be drinking another one anytime soon. It has been pointed out to me that I'm too much a control freak and wound too tight to drink alcohol. HAHA! |

I seemed to loose weight when I drank daily. I definatly didn't gain weight, but maybe it was because I had an upset stomach and diarea all the time when I was drinking?

I am 53 and have cut my alcohol considerably. Only 3 or 4 glasses of wine a week. For me that is a good amount, usually red wine. Depending on your age and chemistry, well, don't be afraid to experiment. Its all part of a formula and what you want to achieve. |

An important thing to consider about alcohol is that your body will metabolize alcohol ahead of anything else. While that post-workout beer may taste awesome, it will impede your post-workout refueling.

I'd have a beer or two later in the day after a workout.
Nothing too special about it, its just calories. |

They say a drink a day helps lower cholesterol. Whether is a shot of spirits, a glass of wine or a bottle of beer.
