If you have never tried it, why comment on it? You have no clue what your reaction would be, and chances are you’d be fine to train a day or two. Being 20 is very different than being 30+ (hell even 25+, I’ve noticed my hangovers got significantly worse out of college).

I have heard the same thing about saturated fats helping both as a preventative measure and as a cure for hangovers. Do you know anything about whether or not it’s true?[/quote]
Fat slows down digestion. The alcohol spends more time in the stomach, where some of it is broken down by alcohol dehydrogenase. Some of the alcohol gets absorbed by the food and never gets into the blood.
So basically food lowers the bioavailability of the ingested alcohol and you get as drunk and as hungover as you would if you had drunk less.[/quote]

Haha my bad. I wasn’t trying to give OP advice or anything. Just making a statement that was sightly relevant. lol
I wish MODOK would weigh in on this… physiologically/biologically, i’m curious as to how detrimental weekend binge drinking is to weightlifting/fitness. Got plastered last night and the night before, worked out after both sessions. Numbers seemed alright, although i definitely didnt feel good.

Recovery is a very important part of training. If you get hammered two nights in a row, you are shitting on your recovery. Can you hit a couple of average-quality workouts in that state? Yeah, sure. Is it sustainable or intelligent? Probably not.
Pushing through a workout when it feels like shit (not brutal in a good way), IMHO is ALWAYS detrimental to some extent. Binge drinking is essentially willfully putting yourself into that situation. I can empathize with those who struggle to work out through a very stressful schedule, illness, or something else that forces them into a situation of this type, but why would you essentially create that situation by shitting on your body?
Is it a huge problem to have a handful of drinks one or two nights a week? Not really. But binge drinking and getting shithammered on the regular is just ridiculous if you seriously value fitness.
You can also read an article on lean gains by martin b. that goes into the research on drinking and talks about drinking and weights and recovery and other things as well.

The secret is water consumption. You can drink alcohol 'till the cows come home but if you drink a glass of water between each drink and have a decent snack before bed, I would nearly garauntee that you won’t have much of a hangover the next day. Sure you’ll look like a phag drinking the water and more than likely put up with some abuse from your friends but you’ll feel fine the next day. Nights where I did not do this = vicious hangover, nights where I did = literally no hangover whatsoever.
I’d also recommend that you have the snack ready before hand, incase your too shit faced to make anything decent.[/quote]
low calorie gatorade or a similar sports drink would be better than water.

Never tried that, I just stick to glasses of tap water between drinks when I’m at a bar or club cause it’s free.

If you’re going to a bar that serves peanuts, snacking on them while you drink helps slow down the absorption of alcohol.

Going to parties, means I am going to be up until late. There goes my morning workout. My goals are being the best of me, the strongest of me, the fastest of me. I have a social life.

Theres just no need for that. Phillips vodka is pretty cheap and not terrible.
'Course, I didn’t figure that out until after I did the Karkov/White Eagle high school binging either.

Hope you spit it out.
Funny it never really made me sick but did give me some really really bad hangovers.
alcohol is detrimental to your training efforts not only because of all of the physical effects, but it’s also a huge distraction in my opinion. in order to be truly serious about your training/goals you can’t drink under any circumstance. a lot of guys drink and get results, but could be getting more if they didn’t. im sure ill get hell from someone for saying that but that’s basically how i feel.
