When you're on a cycle, it is best to stay away from alcohol or atleast minimize consumption as much as possible. However, everyone wants to have a good time sometimes--and for some people, it takes a little something to get them going.
I've read that alcohol has detrimental effects on body building--it increases estrogen levels, promotes catabolism, and is exhausting to your body which can be felt the next day via hangovers. Everyone has experienced that lifting after a night of drinking is a terrible, you feel like shti and on top you can't lift as much.
My question is what are some better alternatives to alcohol? Give me some thoughts of why E, G, and anything else of that nature might be better. Do they give the same 'buzz' and same level of confidence that alcohol gains you?
I know a common answer will be something like---the best alternative is "WATER" and be sober, but some people like me come from a small college town in FL where the only thing to do is drink and party.
And also is alcohol really that bad for lifters?
Only about a year left for me in colllege, I want to enjoy it while I can.
