going out/drinking

[student]

How often do people drink/ go out to town?

[Ninja]

Used to a lot but got sick of going backwards in the gym and became a dad. So now 1 or 2 beers a month thats about it

[thatwaslight]

Too much!

Last beer at New Years...... till I acheive my goal. :nod:

Last time I did the same thing it took me 2 years to win the U105 NZSM title, well 23.5 months to be precise, followed by a dozens beers & few other things! :pfft: :grin:

My friend did the same - 6 years to win his second Mr NZ title - nek minute he's chopping shooters like they're going out of fashion! I said whats up? His reply was that he only didn't drink cos he had goals to acheive, and until he has new ones he'll have a good time! I promptly adopted that strategy! :grin:

What sucks after a night out of binge drinking is that I throw up my dinner that night and my stomach is too upset to eat anything the next day. So that's like 2 days worth of macros out the window

^ Just be a man, when you throw it up, do it in a bucket and eat it again...your gains go back!

every week sometimes twice a week. drinking a fuckload, but im trynna cut back for first time in years so only 2-3 beers once or twice a week... will let you know if my gains are better. i can only presume they will be since i wont be missing 12-18 hours of food and then eating crap for 2 days and missing out on 2-3 workouts a week.

almost never. only in summer pretty much, but when i do drink its normally like less than 5 drinks or 20+. used to drink quite a bit age 16-20. dont really even find it fun any more though.

few months ago i drank a 700ml vodka then skulled a bottle of wine all within 2 hours. didnt spew but wish i had of. felt like shit for 5 days afterwards so not ideal

[mike27]

I dont really drink at all

maybe only 3-4 beers a month if anything

Sticking to my goals is what im doing, but still have the odd drink. getting lastered every weekend is wasting your time.

May as well not go to the gym and just drink

ok to have the odd drink, but excessive amounts all the time aint good

[bang_bang]

I get pretty drunk once a week. I don't miss workouts, still eat ok the next day and I'm making good gains in the gym. I doubt I'd be noticeably any bigger or stronger if i didn't drink.

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

never

[icecream]

Hardly ever. The odd feijoa wine if I'm catching up with friends, but usually I stick to the coke zero or water..

Once upon a time I was shitfaced at least once a week (not gonna lie, it was awesome). But these days I have too much to do on my weekends, and I suck at hangovers :nod:

[vracula]

I FUCKIN HATE HANGOVERS, so i drink only at birthday parties.

[BIGKIWI]

Never because i cant leave the premises only for month 1 week though yaaaaaaaa

I've definitely cut back. It used to be most Saturdays, 20+ standards for a big night. Rarely spewed and I'd always be able to eat the next day so never saw it as impacting my training much. By Monday I'd be fine and back to training anyway.

Now it's every 3-4 weeks due to working security most Sat nights, and down to 10-15 standards which doesn't effect me too much the next day. It's nice to be earning/saving some money as well instead of blowing any extra I had on booze every weekend :doh: Got my 21st on Saturday though so the old me might come out :shifty:

I'll still have a few beers/wines if I go out to a BYO restaurant with friends, and occasionally a beer with dinner if there's some floating around. I don't see the point in depriving yourself completely to try and reach a goal. Sure if you're binge drinking regularly and that's throwing out your diet and training then it's an issue, but I doubt a few casual beers has ever truly had a negative impact on a persons gains.
