Can you be a fit alcoholic?
>>77212321Vodka has pretty low calories I think but I don’t know what was Dahmer’s choice of drink, probably beer.
>>77212369Alcohol just make my face red and bloated and disgusting looking for the next few days. Its not just about the calories
From my anecdotal experience alcohol puts you in stasis. If you’re drinking it every day you’re working harder to maintain while at risks of slipping down faster if you ease up at all.
>>77212321If you drink often through the week, it will destroy your sleep, cause you to binge eat/eat shitty food and drink less water. Also seems to cause a lot of people to bloat in the face for days or weeks after. I drink a lot, but only keep minced beef and fruit in my fridge and have no acess to ubereats or fast food where I live, also crush tons of water after a binge. I've drunk 750ml of rum every week for about a 4 months, I haven't noticed any difference in appearance besides worsening bags under eyes because of the bad sleep it causes. Still super lean, but I also work a tough job and dont eat till I get home and workout most days. Short answer is, if you are already a gross slob, drinking will turn you into a bigger even grosser slob. Genetics also plays a roll probably.

There at least used to be athletes who could simultaneously play professionally on top level and drink themselves into a coma.
>>77212321not for long. young guys can get away with weekend bingeing bc their bodies rebound like rubber, but once you're a 7 days a week garden variety alchie, it's just a matter of time. half or more of your calories are coming from a giga-antinutrient, you're constantly dehydrated, you're sleeping like shit, the food you do eat is probably very low quality, you're likely skipping out on exercise a lot, and when you do exercise your injury risk has to increase tenfold>>77212769pro athletes can be an exception because their lives are literally catered to as far as athletic performance goes. life off the field is centered around recovery, you are provided high-quality meals around the clock, you have doctors and trainers available at a moment's notice, you're rich so you can afford whatever you want, and if you need a pick-me-up before or after training they just poke you with an IV. athletes also were naturally athletic enough to go pro in the first place
Unironically was at my fittest when I was half-assing 1-2 gym sessions/week while getting shitfaced 3-4 days a week. Before that, I was lifting religiously. Probably had more to do with increased rest, but still
>>77212369Whisky and beer I think, at least when he was in high school
>>77212321When youre young and have good genetics (slim build), yes. When you get older (40s) probably not unless youre a freak, so lets just go with no. People like me (easy to mass up), hell no. Too many calories.
>>77212444he was a victim of murder, not executed
>>77212321He had a good diet - well seasoned - high protein.
>>77212321I, personally, am unable to balance alcohol and being lean.
>>77212321I'm 24 and relatively /fit/ and (heavily) drinking three days in a row really sucks as you will feel like shit the next one or two days.drinking on Friday and on Saturday or Sunday is probably the sweet spot for social and physical gains
>>77213520wypeepo don season dey niggas
>>77212369no such thing as "low calories", calories come from alcohol, and most vodkas are 40%+
