I went on a alcohol diet and dropped 50 pounds. It consisted of eating virtually nothing, drinking 6-800 cal in booze, and that totaling up to a 500 cal deficit. I look back at that with fond memories.
>>
>>36489408
I only have 1 beer (or 1 small glass of whiskey) a night, at least an hour after dinner.

It doesn't negatively affect anything. However, if you drink with your dinner, or drink more than couple a night, say goodbye to your gains. You will get fat, and have low energy.

You just gotta do it smart and sparingly. Hit the gym at least 4 days a week, sleep a lot, and eat smart. If you do that, a beer doesn't fucking matter.

I had been drinking heavily the past year, but it's really star ted to negatively affect my life so I'm tapering down. Was at half a bottle of vodka or gin a night, but I'm down to six drinks a night now. Tomorrow I'm going down to five, and I'm hoping by next Monday I can not have any. If you guys are drinking that much then you probably have some untreated problems that you're self medicating for. I myself have depression and really bad nightmares, so I've started meds for both and the drinking is a lot less necessary. go to a doctor brehs.

I kind of stopped once I started eating healthy, because I could never fit in my macros the 700Cal+ needed to get drunk on 40% liquors.

So I got smart with it and bought 96% alcohol (190 proof/Everclear, for you 'murricans), and I mix 45cl in a glass of coke zero every time I want to get drunk instantly, and only having to waste 300Cal.

It's exactly the same as getting drunk on 5/6 mixed drinks, only you're not taking in the calories of a four person family dinner.

A 40 is 1.14 liters of 40% alcohol

when I used to drink heavily I would drink 15 beer a day minimum and that wouldn't get me actually drunk, when you get used to being drunk everyday it takes alot more alcohol to even feel the buzz

An actual alcoholic wouldn't be making much gains because they're literally drunk morning till night and hardly eat anything

i had been consistently drinking at least six 7%+ beers a night for several months. that lead to a less strict diet as well, so i started gaining weight. i tapered down to about three beers a night starting a week ago and went down to just one last night but i didn't sleep very well. i need to get this under control and drop about 15 lbs.

Sometimes I drink for a week straight, right now it's again day 5 of continous drinking, but I haven't had anything in 12 hours and Ima say fuck it this time I think.

60-70% calming myself down enough so I can think straight meaning free of anxiety, crossdressing stuff and other fetishes, paranoia..
30% boredom, more appreciative of 2deep4u stuff (can be interpreted as thinking straight, see above)

Has been going on for the past 3 months in this fashion. I don't think I'm an alcoholic, just neet who finally quit most time wasters for good and making big steps battling the rest of my personal demons until I move out..

Had a drinking problem for a while. Got drunk 3 or 4 times a week and still lifted. Did well out of it all things considered but my bf% was too high. Cut down to drinking once a week.

I seriously had no idea there were so many calories in liquor. Pure ethanol is like 150 kcal/oz. That's nuts.

Alcoholism doesn't mean drunk 24/7. The guy who goes to work all day then comes home and slams a 750 mL bottle of vodka is still an alcoholic, and it's still possible to make gains doing so.

I've been having a shitty time in the past few years and recently I've been drinking like 3 beers a day. 1 in the afternoon, 2 after dinner.

>>36498837
vodka is 40% alcohol by volume. for every liter of vodka you drink, you get 400ml of alcohol.
you'd actually have to drink a little more than 2L vodka per day to get 1L of alcohol.
>>
>>36498977
You're dumb, drinking 1 liter of vodka is 1000ml and 2L is 2000ml which is a huge difference

I just wanted to say some of the posts in this thread make me feel a lot better about my alcohol consumption. Not to make fun, but some of you guys have daily habits I don't think I could manage if I tried on a holiday.

I don't really know how good or bad booze is for gains and such, but I imagine its not too much different from candy. It's a lot of empty calories that dont do much for you and too much is bad for you over time, but its a treat you enjoy.
>>
>>36496822

Oh, I have been tapering off. I've been reducing my intake by a drink every day or two down to those six beers. It's just that today the desire kicked in super hard even though I've been ok with the reducing amounts, and I have no idea how to deal with it without drinking more. It was like ten am when I posted that, and I normal don't drink until the evening so it was especially odd.

I drink occasionally, I don't give a fuck.

Thankfully, most beer tastes like shit and the ones that are actually good(where my porterbros and dark ale niggas at) are rare to find at restaurants and I have to go out of my way to pick them up from the store.

Scotch and bourbon is also fucking delicious but I don't drink more than enough to get a slight buzz.
