You really can't long term.
Just drink vodka, senpai.
>>36638502
Stick to beer, lift like crazy, be in permabulk and die early desu
>>36638502
you can't be /fit/ but you can be builtfat
you wouldn't be able to get lean and retain muscle drinking daily, even if you fit it into your daily calories, because the calories are useless to your muscles
so if you try to get cut up while being a heavy drinker, you'll become a skeleton.
if you eat enough food to gain muscle and still drink, your protein synthesis will be slowed, and you will add on fat on top of the little muscle you do gain
mayube after 5 years you would look half decent. cutting drinking back to only on the weekend, limiting yourself to no more than like 6 drinks, does wonders. if you still must get legitimately drunk, keep it to once a month
>solve alcohol problem
>get fit
>???
>profit

nah dude alcohol calories don't work like regular calories, they can't get stored as fat/muscle
your body does shut down fat burning and protein synthesis while your liver takes care of the booze tho
that's why you gotta keep your dietary fat low when you drink and only drink spirits when you do
drinking daily wouldn't even be an issue, but alcoholism would be

How do I add 1 + 1 without getting 2?
Alcohol kills test big time through about 7 different pathways gotta stay away bro

lol, no
you're an alcoholic if you HAVE to drink and if you quit you get withdrawals
you can go out on the town every night and enjoy yourself with friends and drink moderately without being an alc

There's different kinds of alcoholism. It's not just a strong physical dependency on alcohol.
I quit drinking almost 3 months ago. While I did have mild withdrawal, I've leaned that I didn't so much have a problem with alcohol as I have a problem with sobriety. Actually dealing with shit is way less fun than drinking and blowing it off.
Thought drinking muh red wine would be ok.
It's not.
>>36638674
that's alcohol abuse.
still, going out every night isn't really the same. if you've got your shit in order and you're okay with getting by sober, it's just a way to enjoy yourself with others.
so yeah, deal with your shit, go out and have fun. i've been there, fampai.
i wouldn't recommend drinking alone, though.
>>36638620
Actually alcoholism is a behavior although what causes the behavior is different

I'm a T-totaler. Not for religious reasons, I'm just a dork. But I'm curious about the nutritional implication of alcohol. From what I remember from biology class, it's metabolism is similar to carbohydrates, but different enough that some people classify it was a fourth macronutrient.

>But I'm curious about the nutritional implication of alcohol.
It's just empty calories, similar to fructose except poisonous.
>>36639110
Hah, that's exactly what the anti-fructose people say but the other way around.
Stop drinking.
Ex alcholic here

Alcohol is a shit drug.
Keep doing what you're doing, but add in some running on days that you plan drinking
