Alcohol & Bodybuilding

[kimchee411]

this is partly due to alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase levels. Though there are a vriety of factors, in particular insulin sensitivity, that affect bodyweight changes due to alcohol consumption.

Is this the same aldehyde dehydrogenase (2) that causes redness (or rather, the lack of its activity)? I have that "Asian Glow"... does this mean alcohol consumption will have even more adverse effect on my metabolism than those who don't have this defect?

yes- health as well-Acetaldehyde is carcinogenic and neurotoxic.

You decide if you want to bust your ass on the gym and then give your body somehing with a higher priority to do

This is my thought every time I crave crap food or beer. I work too damn hard to throw it away on a piece of cake or pizza or whatever. It better be a damn good reason for me to cheat.
