Paul_D		Who doesn't drink?	25-08-2009 @ 19:33
Hey mate, my name is Paul Dudley Member 632, 3628 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 282.5 637.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	Just intrested to find out who doesn't drink (alcohol obviously before some smart arse pipes up) and their reasoning behind their decision? I personally don't drink (once in a blue moon anyway), but am now thinking of turning to "the dark side". Reason for this is because I used to compete at a fairly high level in MMA, never really had much time to socialize and fighting was important to me so I didn't want to hinder my progress, I no longer fight and I'm in a uni environment that is focused on socialising (drinking being a big part of this, sad but true). Thoughts on the issue? How much do people think drinking affects performance (for a powerlifter say)? Paul

Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts	I drink casually but not like when I was younger. I can't be arsed with dealing with hangovers anymore. A few here and there isn't a big deal in my opinion.

Still mostly bodybuilding Member 501, 10465 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 250 620.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq	Fazc said: I can't be arsed with dealing with hangovers anymore. Me too - i havent been pissed since new years eve last year. Probably had a maximum of 30 bottles of beer this year which is nothing compared to the litres of vodka i used to drink every weekend when i was in my teens.

always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260 637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	I usually get pissed once a week or once a fortnight. It can be more or less often though depending what's on/who's at the pub Does it affect progress - probably, but it's good fun!

Scotbasher - forever Member 59, 2115 posts	I maybe have a G&T or a couple of glasses of wine every weekend and I'll go out for beers every 3-4 weeks. I usually abstain a few weeks before a contest though.

pissed up bull in a china shop Member 684, 319 posts SQ 205, BP 155, DL 275 635.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Christ! Its always been my achillees heel. Kudos to all yous that don't drink or drink very little. I've been a heavy drinker since 18 years old, about 23 years at it. Of course if i didn't drink at all i'd have hit a 400 DL and put 230k overhead. That's my excuse anyway when i'm sat in me tartan sock on the commode.

Even his dad lifts more Member 388, 313 posts SQ 315, BP 210, DL 285 810.0 kgs @ 98kgs Eq	i know how you feel Paul_D im at uni too, and drinking is the main social event. I do drink now and i enjoy having a drink. but i try and time it so my hangover is on days i dont have to train, and ill stop if i have a comp or something coming up. i think the key is moderation... getting off your face once in a blue moon isnt going to hurt, every week is a different story.
