personal preference, bro but if i was on a cycle, i wouldn't drink much...it's all how much you want out of your cycle....if it's wine, i'd agree that 1 glass per night would actually benefit you...but a cheap, marcobrew style beer would definately not help at all ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

just depends on what you would like more better gains, easier on your liver or a little buzz of the 6 pack. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I do not think 5 beers 2x a week constitutes a person as a alcoholic....I do think that is a bit much while on a cycle but no where near alcoholic proportions. I usually shut myself of after 3 beers when on a cycle. But then again I am not much of a drinker anymore.....If you are 200lbs plus and on no orals I wouldn't worry about it to much 5 beers is nothing for someone at that weight if your on orals stay away all togeather....I know people that drink on the weekends and cycle and there gains don't seam to be hindered......I don't agree with it but what can I say they are much bigger then me so there doing somthing right,,, [This message has been edited by FOZY (edited November 12, 2000).] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

On what Fozy said about orals. I Know a guy who was doing Drols. Heavy night of drinking and the next day he was shitting blood. I would avoid it cuz that's a true story not a scare tactic. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I dont think 4,5 is ok, especially 2x a week. Besides, being dehydrated, I would worry about your liver. I think 1-3 may be ok. Preferably 1-2. I usually drink 1 time every 2 weeks, usually sticking to one beer. Of course, i GHB it too. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

drinking a couple times a week is fine- as long as your not doing orals-somone taking AS calling someone alcoholic that drinks beer twice a week is funny. just remember-beer isnt nutrient dense- so take care of yourself-make sure overall nutrition is good-just keep training, rest and diet in order-tomo ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I believe if you can't stop drinking for 8 weeks or so you have a problem. There's no way you can tell me that the gains are the same while drinking because you NEVER GAINED IT! How would you know what you maybe would have gained. If your going to take AS you had better be serious about what you do. I've said it once and I'll say it again this isn't like taking creatine. I"m not saying 1 beer once a week is totally going to ruin your cycle. But usually what people are looking for is an excuse to drink freely. Hardly anyone stops at one beer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

have u looed on a beer bottle? A beer has less then 10 carbs and like .08g of protein.. i don't remember what kind it was i looked on. as long as u don't go overboard its not going to be bad.. i know arnold drank beer, and look at his body.. im sure he didn't over indulge though! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

If it were me, I'd keep alcohol to a minimum if I had any 17aa's in my system... Otherwise I don't see drinking as a HUGE deal, just keep it moderate and in check and your gains won't be hindered too much. Notice I say "too much." It's all about your priorites... Would you rather eke out every last ounce of possible gains and stay home, or accept that you could have gotten just a little bit more out of your cycle and go out & have a good time? I know bros who fall on both sides... I'm somewhere in the middle... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

you're right SPUNKY arnold, drank beer. in fact, when asked what he secret to weight gain (by someone who KNEW he was juicing, they just wanted to know what kind of food) he said, when he's bulking he's "sure to drink PLENTY of beer, the darker the brew the better" i don't drink, but, i agree, if you're no on orals or ref or winny, drink to your hearts content. i choose not to, b/c i can't workout the next day, b/c i'm tired and dehydrated, if i just want a buzz, i break out the G. hope this helps.

Believe it or not, but I did a cycle last year where I drank beer almost every night throughout, and I actually yielded better gains than on cycles when I don't drink. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
