ALCHOHOL and workingout???

[tha_pllaya]

quick question
does drinking alchohol effect working out, mainly to gain weight?
because i went camping this longweekend and i drank alot, and lost 3 pounds, i didnt eat very much for 2 days also so.....
but does partying on weeknds effect your workouts?

Alcohol effects a lot of things, yes....

Your body can't burn of fat optimally as it's too busy trying to burn off the alcohol. Keep the drinking to very special occasions....

No, but only in moderation. The 3 pounds is most probably water weight. Hit back on the carbs and you may find that 3lb is back up on the scale.

True that. And high cortisol not good.

Right on. Alchol is puts you in a catabolic state.
