How did a functioning alcoholic keep a body like this? It's not like his job as a detective was physically demanding either, he was mostly sitting on his ass doing research.
>>214421833Once you build a (natural) base of muscle you don't really need to do much to maintain it. It's also not that hard to be an alcoholic and not fat. Just eat less.
>>214421944Alcohol is pretty fattening, an evening drinking beer can easily rack up to 2k calories in a single setting. Not to mention it fucks up your liver too.
>>214421833It's a movie
>>214421961>an evening drinking beer can easily rack up to 2k calories in a single settingThat's like 12 beers
>>21442199712 beers is a lot?
>>214422054Yes. If you don't drink American piss. Try drinking actual 6% beers.
>>214422081I'm from belgium and pic related is our normal beer of 5.2% and we still go to 20-30 in a single setting. Even worse is that this behavior is encouraged among young people.
>>214422130Forgot pic
>>214421961>a single setting lemme guess, it's your Mom's basement?
>>214421833Avoid carbs, stick to spirits, avoid mixers.
tv shows always are fairly liberal with what alcoholics look like but I still maintain a fairly muscular body despite my bad habit. it's somewhat easy if you're naturally thin (in that you don't have bad eating habits). you either eat very little or still eat clean enough with all the extra calories that comes with an alcohol addiction and hit the gym because it's just routine.
You have to eat a shit load of protein like it’s your job too. None of the other posters mentioned that. That requires motivation and not being depressed
>>214421833Rust wasn't drinking in the 90s, as you recall. And he was shown doing chinups so he worked out.
>>214421961Just say you created the thread to confirm your own beliefs
>>214421833by being fictional and probably taking steroids irl
>>214421833HOLLYWOOD ISN'T LIKE REAL LIFE?!? WTF?!?
>>214421833genesi know some retard drunk who is like 60 and does nothing but be drunk and retarded and he completely mogs 97% of gymcels and facemogs 98% of the population
>>214421833https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MljeQzcmUfEsome people can take it
>>214421833He worked out, drunk lots of water and didnt eat like a pig, not everybody is wet brained alchy smoking and doing drugs all day
>>214421961most alcoholics I've known were skinnythey don't eat much
>>214423557Not a good example. He looks like a fatfuck in every picture. Also, goodbye erections when you drink for more than a week. Not even viagra, cialis or mix of both will get you hard.
>>214423699it's an excellent example and you are a retard
>>214423760You are a sad piece of shit of impotent alcoholic.
>>214423760if you think that body looks good you're either a lardass or a retard
>>214421961I drank beer every day for several years and never went over 160. I'm 5'11". At my heaviest I think it was a change in diet and not beer, as I had been eating out far more frequently.
>>214422130He's just seething about America, he doesn't have a real point. It's like responding seriously to a bot.>>214422147For me it's Chimay
>>214422130I'm pretty druk after 6 Leffes
>>214421944>>214421961i havent watched the show but i don't think this dude was ever a total degenerate. i would guess he kept his old routine and diet to some extent, only he didn't eat much in general because of alcoholism
>>214422626only to build muscle, not retain it
>>214421944This. I got /fit/ for several years but quit during Covid when my gym closed. Still have my 6 pack despite not lifting in 5 years.
>>214421944Alcohol is 7 calories per gram, which is 2 behind fat, if you're an actual alcoholic you will blow 2000 calories away in alcohol alone in a day and have to eat nothing, which some alcoholics do. My brother lived on percocets and beer for many years and stayed as skinny as that while doing back breaking trade labor.
>>214422147is Stella Artois cheap in Belgium? I don't drink anymore but when I was in my early 20s, it was the Rolls Royce of beers
>>214421833Paul Newman was an alcoholic his entire life and pretty much looked like this.
>>214425915>At one point, Newman reported drinking a case of beer a day, followed by hard liquor, until he gave it up around 1971. hmm
You just work out.I was in my physical peak when I used to drink around 20L of beer a week.
>>214423699>goodbye erections when you drink for more than a weekI don't know where you're getting your alcohol facts but you should get them from someone else.
This thread is full of naive zoomies. Real alcoholics are almost never fat because when you get to a certain point you simply stop eating much. Vodka is your breakfast. Beer is your dinner. You’d be surprised how long a person can live off poison and empty calories. And nicotine.
>>214425976It's funny because of you didn't drink you'd have been in even better shape since alcohol interferes with gains at a hormonal level.
>>214423643this really is it. a lot of functional alcoholics move around a lot hustling and just doing shit, so they get tons of steps in. my alcoholic half brother is like this. very skinny guy, doesnt eat much and just walks everywhere.
>>214422649yeah but in the show he says he just becomes a total loser in the 2000s up until the interviews which take place in like 2014 iirc. so nearly 15 years of just drinking , smoking and having no life outside of work. you'd think he would be a fat bastard
I have OP's pic body. Just eat 2 toasts and a bowl of oatmeal during the day. Eat a big meal for supper then avoid eating til the next. Avoid sugar, only drink water. Workout everyday with dumbbells. Do intensive 1h cardio at least 2 times a week. Also be over 6'1 tall
>>214422081>muh American piss beerYou are retarded and this stereotype is retarded, most euros drink stuff like Heineken, 1664, Stella Artois, Carlsberg, or Guinneas. Which is all shit we drink here or similar to shit we drink here. And unless you are from Belgium or a Germanic country, your beer is not much better than ours lol.
>>214421833not eating
>>214421833It's fiction. That's how. His image is heavily romanticized. People who smoke 6 packs a day and drink 6 cans of fucking beer every week will never look like this and won't be able to do even a single pull up at this age.
I'm not a full blown alcoholic (around 40-50standard drinks a week) but am in pretty decent shape
every alcoholic thread is a million times more pathetic than any incel thread.
>>214427283>drink 6 cans of fucking beer every week6 whole cans of beer a week? that's insane
>>214427288Kek you're in denial buddy
>>214427313denial about what?
>>214423557holy kek
>>214425892Yes but of the "cheap" pilsner beers it's the most expensive/high brow. Jupiler and Maes are what is served at football or events for example.
>>214426700None of which are depicted in the OPs pic. Beyond that, beer doesn't make you fat. Beer + food does and Rust never eats. Just drinks and puffs.
>>214426248>You’d be surprised how long a person can live off poison and empty calories.the human body is actually absurdly sturdy. my mother is an anorexic and for 10 years lived off purely onions milk before she got treated. Her bloodwork wasn't even that bad when she went in.
>>214426248Agree. When i drank 0.7 + beers each day for a month. I maybe ate like 3x a week tops. That's still baby alcoholism compared to the oldfucks outside that shit themselves after a sip of beer, that's how fucked their guts are now.
>>214427309Actually, he drank more. "I work 4 nights a week in between I drink". And that's how much he drinks in a single day.
>>214427369thanks my day wasn't depressing enough
>>214425763Dang thats a great story
>>214423557he's not looking too good recently, and he's on a tonne of drugs and even TRT
The only thing I hate about drinking is the alcohol bloat in the face, has anyone found a way around this
Crack addicts living on the street all look like this
>>214427516I've tried everything and at certain stage it's impossible to avoid. Same as the bloat(not fat) around stomach.
>>214421833Did any of you experience pain in the right side of the body? I know that's where the Liver is. But doctors supposedly claim that you can't feel pain in your Liver because of drinking.
