Is there an acceptable amount of alcohol you can consume without fucking up your recovery?
I'm 21 and in college, I usually go out once per week and have a few drinks.
I've tried to just have fun and approach people completely sober but it's not the same experience.
It's a struggle because I want to be at my peak performance but also don't want to miss out on parties.
Help me Veeky Forums
peak performance...yet u purposely consume shit that fucks you up? your never gunna make it.
do cocaine instead
I don't drink and go to parties all the time. If you need to rely on a mind altering substance to "socialize," something that should come naturally, then you need to stop being a bitch with your social anxiety and man the fuck up you cock sucking pussy faggot.

Yeah bro dont worry i got pretty big in college and i got shitfaced every friday and saturday night. But i trained 5 days a week and ate clean and big
You can drink spirits with diet soda mixer. That's the best it's gonna get and it's still not great. It's doable but the will power the next day hungover to not overeat crappy food is the hardest part.
The alcohol stopping gains is a meme
Depends on your friends or where you live.
I live in Scotland and if you go out at the weekend to socialise you will be drinking. Or on drugs.
as long as you arent drinking a ridiculous amount over a week, I dont see how alcohol will impact your gains
if you limit your drinking to the weekend, it shouldnt hurt. Just stay away from mixed drinks or trying to get drunk on shitty beer, you'll fill yourself with the wrong calories
I think the worst impact of alcohol is it induces hunger. Avoid or limit it if youre on a cut.
There are many legal and illegal substance that you can use besides alcohol
My personal favorites are:
>Weed
>MDMA
>Speed
It is actually cheaper than drinking. You will get some good MDMA (ectasy) for 5-10 € in my place, but I heard that they sell you shitty research chemicals in US that may kill you.
>So be safe and always test your drugs before using them!
Fuck everyone telling you not to have fun and party.
This is why you losers don't have gf's

A couple drinks on the weekend are fine. Do some extra cardio that day to make up for it. If your really worried, keep to just a hard liquor like vodka and water it down.
drink wine, it's healthy and you'll get rid of cortisol caused by stress. also lifting without pleasure is useless, so enjoy yourself
I'm in college.
Every single fit guy I know drinks on weekends.
Don't listen to these idiots just hit some extra cardio on the weekend and make sure you're not missing meals because of drinking and you'll be fine.
Another shipment just came in for me so I'm currently fucked up. Ignore the haters op and do you.
>shipment
>2017
>not getting alcohol delivered in shipments
Get a life, loser!
Unless you are taking it uber seriously at the expense of everything else, keep it in moderation and you will be fine. When i was in uni we went out every friday night and got fucked, made a point of eating clean and not drinking for the rest of the week and it was fine.
Now I tend to have a couple of drinks over the weekend and that is really it. Probably 6 drinks in total over friday and saturday night, haven't had any problems.
Stay away from beer. Michelob Ultra has the fewest carbs and calories though if you must. I usually drink gin and tonic or straight vodka and keep my drinking to the weekends. Do cardio and make sure you drink a lot of water/ stay hydrated to avoid a hangover. Don't drink to excess. I typically have 3 a night and I'm good when I go out. I'm 28 though. Don't listen to the virgins here, do you.
Order gin and seltzer/club soda. Best for avoiding excess calories and the carbonated water helps mitigate the next day hangover. Although you should also drink a cup of water for each drink you have.
Getting drunk once a week won't fuck your gains up especially in your 20's but you won't be performing at 100% either. Just stick to low-sugar mixed drinks to minimize calories/sugar intake and drink plenty of water and you'll get the best of both worlds. You can live a little and still be hella fit.
unless it's diet tonic that's still a lot of calories.
>Just do some extra cardio
if youre competing then really stay away from it unless competing is strictly for fun.
If youre not competing, then just fucking indulge and pay the price.
Im the latter
yeah tonic is as bad as a can of coke. gin or vodka with soda is the way to go if you want mixed drinks.
