Is drinking everyday bad for gains? I drink 8-10 beer a day
> I drink 8-10 beer a day
you're an alcoholic.
>>35260169
>thinks 10 beer everyday is an alcoholic
muricans
>>35260141
Yes, sadly, it's one of the worst things, even eating shitty food can be discussed if you burn that much calories/fat working out, beer is just wrong that many times a day/week.
>>35260141
Take a look at your body and you tell me.
>>35260177
The 10 doesn't make him an alcoholic.
The everyday makes him an alcoholic.
You can be an alcoholic drinking only 2 drinks everyday.
>>35260141
making those fatty liver gains, brah
>>35260141
Depends if you're a lightweight and those 8 to 10 beers gets you wasted
>>35260187
>implying 2 drinks a day is enough to get an adult male drunk
Alcoholics get staggering drunk morning till night and withdrawal halfway through their sleep
>>35260213
clinically defined alcoholism casts a pretty wide net.
If you even drink with the intention of getting drunk, you're an alcoholic.
>>35260213
Some do, but not all.
>>35260177
i'm not american. it's common knowledge that drinking that much every day is terrible for your health.
>>35260226
Wtf is the point of drinking if you're not going to get hammered? I wouldn't even bother having drinks if I didn't have enough to get tanked
>>35260141
Alcohol tanks blood testosterone levels. It's bad for gains.
>>35260246
same man its pointless and a waste of alcohol
>>35260226
So everyone that goes to a party is an alcoholic? Top kek you know nothing
Alcoholics are literally drinking alcohol all hours they're awake and they do it for years and years
>>35260294
I come from a long line of alcoholics on both sides of my family.
It's genuinely a struggle for me to refrain from drinking when the opportunity arises.
I'm only 22 but I've been getting wasted since about 16 and only now I'm trying to quit before it gets any worse.
I have trouble sleeping when I don't drink, I'm generally pissed off, I'm constantly bored.
Making lifting and martial arts my hobbies have helped a lot, but I'm still always scared for the weekends when my friends (most all of whom are alcoholics like myself) will get together and drink until 4-5 AM.
I consider myself to have alcoholism because I know my subconscious mind will always crave a beer or two or nine.
>>35260826
Get sober friends and keep out of that lifestyle, senpai. It'll make it easier to avoid drinking.
>>35260826
Same man, I was drinking a fifth of whiskey a day when I was 19 and all my friends did the same
>>35260256
I do a few drinks a day because it actually can temporarily raise test
>>35260943
>drinking to raise test
>not drinking to have fun and forget real life
>>35260905
Iktf I was a full blown alcoholic before I was 20, I'd drink until I passed out every night even in high school, I'd never remember going to bed or what was for dinner
> Not getting all of your 2000cal from beer alone
> Making it
c'mon y'all its almost 2016
>>35260884
>senpai
wtf is that
>>35261043
>not drinking everyday
>having fun
pick 1
>>35261056
Ooookay, I'll pick >having fun for $800, Alex
>>35261007
I used to be hungover everyday in high school
>>35260213
Bro I'm feeling pretty loose after a mixed drink with one shot of vodka in it.
I am the definition of a lightweight. Probably because I rarely drink but I weigh 175, so it's odd.
>>35261192
I'd love to have that tolerance, I need 8 beer to even get a bit relaxed
>>35260943
Alcohol raises your estrogen you fucking idiot.
>>35261707
Nope
>>35260213
congratulations, you've made a definition of alcoholism that conveniently doesn't include yourself. Just because people are worse alcoholics than you doesn't mean you are exlcuded

I used to drink 4-6 beers a day.
I was chubby and weak back then.
I scaled it back to 1-2 a day and lost 30 lbs. All fat.
Now I don't drink at all. I don't miss it, either. I like feel healthy, clear, and strong.
>Lift 6 days per week
>Eat shitloads of chicken, rice, veggies and eggs +protein shakes
>Friends invite me out
>mfw I want to get wasted, but then I look at the mirror and realize I'm still DYEL and will never make it.
I drink a bottle of wine a day for about 2-4 days a week.
It hasn't hurt me I think.
>>35261899
If you are still DYEL maybe 6 days a week isn't right and you should do 3 full body workouts per week. It's not just a meme it's the most efficient way to get to an intermediate and even upper intermediate level of strength, which will make brosplitting if that's what you want to do much more useful
>>35261960
I do a Push, pull, legs routine. I've tried full body, but it just really tires me out and takes a really long time to get done and at the end of it, I feel like I haven't hit each body part enough.
>>35262004
>I feel like I haven't hit each body part enough
don't worry about how you feel, worry if the numbers are going up or not. I've gone through plenty of months where I don't feel sore or tired but I was going up in strength. Worrying about how you feel is more for the hypertrophy stuff
>>35260141
They say it lowers test levels if you drink heavily
>>35262031
So which routine specifically would you recommend?
>>35262060
This is always a solid reference. Any program that revolves around 5x5's and has you squat and bench the same day is a keeper for beginner level. No need for much variance until you are an intermediate. Honestly for my first 6 months of strength training from untrained I didn't have the energy to do anything besides squat/bench/OHP. I wouldn't feel sore just general body fatigue. But Patience and consistency will do you well.
>>35260294
So I knew of this guy who was fine during his day job as an engineer stone sober, but before he went in the house to his wife and kids at night he killed a 750 mL bottle of vodka. Every single night. Does that make him not an alcoholic?
>>35260169
You have never been a white man in mexico have you?
>>35260826
>I'm constantly bored
This right here is why I drink more than I should.

It raises estrogen after a somewhat extended period if you drink as much as OP claims to. 3 a day almost certainly won't raise estrogen, but it ain't gonna raise your test by an appreciable margin either.
